📝 How to update

You do not need to manually download or replace your original pldmgr.elf file.
Simply install the update directly within the Payload Manager app (from the repository). The updated version will automatically launch on every subsequent startup, regardless of whether you load the old or new .elf file initially.
This means you don't need to update your autoloader config or replace any files on your console/USB!
