Hey all.
I'd like to introduce to you, Tesla: My answer to the growing need for proper ingame front ends for sysmodules.

What is this?

• Tesla consists of three individual parts. nx-ovlloader, the Tesla menu and libtesla.
  • nx-ovlloader is basically nx-hbloader ported to run as a sysmodule. It runs in the background and loads overlay NROs (.ovl files) given to it.
  • Tesla Menu is the equivalent to the hbmenu. It's the initial thing loaded by nx-ovlloader and acts as a hub for you to select all other overlays.
  • libtesla is where it becomes interesting for developers. It's an easy to use library that handles layer creation, UI drawing and all the overlay UX. It makes it very easy to create a new overlay for anything
• A frontend for sysmodules that before required either a homebrew or a config file to change settings or used sounds or the LED to give the user feedback.

What is this not?

• A tool that lets you create overlays that are always visible. Overlays can get unloaded way to easily for this.
• An excuse to port absolutely everything to a overlay. Nobody's going to need a title manager overlay. If you consider making a overlay, keep it simple. You don't have a whole lot of memory to work with.

How do I use this?

First of all, download the latest release of nx-ovlloader and the Tesla Menu from the GitHub Release page and extract it onto your SD card.
After a reboot, hold down L and DPad Down and push on the right joy stick to bring up Tesla at any time. Navigation works as you imagine it.
Similar to normal homebrews, you place your .ovl files in the /switch/.overlays folder on your SD card.

Notice

Make sure to use the latest Atmosphere release when trying this as older versions ( as the one SX OS uses too ) probably won't have enough memory available for this to run. Overlays do take a lot of space so nx-ovlloader reserves 6MB. 2MB for framebuffers and around 4MB for overlay developers to use in their overlays.

Many overlays don't work in 16.0.0, are we getting updates anytime soon?

Which ones are you having trouble with? I might start a different thread,

Daybreak to the rescue. Not everyone is that eager to support HOS16. I for one don't really care until ATM is final. Some maybe never.

If I have this "420000000007E51A" in contents, the new version of Atmosphere breaks.
I suppose there will be a new version of Tesla, right?

Thanks!!

Don't delete 420000000007E51A folder and you only need to replace two .ovl files in overlay folder in switch folder.

I believe all my files are up to date but after the first time I used Tesla I can no longer get it to appear. Any ideas what it could be?

@ELY_M fixed it - https://github.com/ELY3M/EdiZon-Overlay/releases/tag/2

There is another fix that doesn't break support on pre-16.0.0 consoles. It's been merged to main but I don't see anybody sharing complied versions.

I don't know because no one share with me and I just share if I know or have information.

You can ask @ELY_M and he helped me to resolve the issues. He gave me a link and that how I shared above.

that fixes the tesla menu. It doesn't fix any overlays that may need fixing. Like amuiibo, for example. But for heaven's sake STOP BUGGING THE DEVS ON GITHUB! They know about it. They are working on it. If you care so much, don't update your system yet. Simple.

That all I have an information to help, and I use tesla menu for cheats, that it.

That isn't me, I don't have Github account and I only help the members to resolve the issues.

Tell to others whoever bother the developers, not me, please.

I was worried text reader wouldn't get an update, thought it was just us niche users. Thanks for the update bro, works like a charm.

Tesla menu works thanks to this thread, but certain overlays like status monitor, sysclick etc. give a 2001-0123 error when using their overlay, I'm guessing due to them now being outdated.

You can do the same for sys clk and emuiibo ?
Thanks for sharing your work.

Have you tried the sys-clk fork here:

I haven’t tested it yet myself but it looks promising + additional features.

 

[nerirififi]

I just compile emuiibo ovl with the help of the official GitHub page, just need to test if it s ok.

I did it yesterday, but the exefs (atmosphere contents) needs update too.
