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.

Only multiple sysmodules can break Tesla, but with this : emuiibo / edizon / salty fps / sys tune, i don't have problem on 0.14.1 - 10.1.0

 

[kickmeh]

atmosphere 0.14.1 and 10.1.0?

yes even now on at 0.14.2 ams, working as well

 

[NyaakoXD]

I have Edizon-ovl, ovlmenu, ReverseNX-RT-ovl, Status Monitor-ovl, and sys-clk-ovl along with SaltySD updated. But I can't even use Status Monitor and Sys-Clk-Ovl without the console crashing with an Atmosphere error screen or complete black screen shut down. I am on Atmosphere 0.14.2.

Can anyone help with this issue and if I should maybe remove certain ovls?

mostly appear error because, many run background process, i think u need disable some sysmodule, i use kosmostoolbox or for now on there is on deepsea package https://github.com/Team-Neptune/DeepSea-Toolbox, so just run what u need

Or ovl-sysmodules.
And if this is all what is running, this is not lack of memory issue.

I used ovl-sysmodules and I see Tesla and SaltySD only running. If I disable Tesla, I can use the status monitor and such just fine without crashing (although FPS monitor will stick at 254 fps no matter what game I run, but that's a different issue). But yeah, I guess I can't run SaltySD and Tesla at the same time for certain things.

You sure disable Tesla? Because after disabling it overlays shouldn't even pop up.

so if like that on your folder atmosphere/contents you have two/double tesla run last number of folder (7E51A), because in my Sysmodule, no tesla itselft appear, keep in mind the original one is 420000000007E51A

Well, in ovl-sysmodules, it shows Tesla as dynamic and SaltyNX as static. So I have no idea.

Hmm, it is possible that I might have two Teslas running. I'll go check when I have the time and will edit this post of my results.

Edit: Okay, I deleted the folder that said "010000000007E51A" since it was the oldest folder compared to "420000000007E51A" which was the most updated folder and what's in the latest release of Tesla. And things don't freeze up or crash now. So I guess that's solved now, thanks!

Wonderful work!!
I add an idea.. if it's possibile to change the hotkeys to L + Screenshot button. I think it's more simple for end users.

I like this. Easier to remember, too. Hope it's possible.

@WerWolv You got me excited for EdiZon's future, lol

Well, then this is not Tesla issue...
For some reason there is "SaltyNX is not working"

Do you Guys know, why overlay menu only shows up in handheld mode ingame and in dock mode only on home menu?

i cant seem to get this to run on sx os?

edit, now working, is there an easy way to turn cheats on/off when in sx os rather than going to album.

it also seems i can only open the menu once, if i put the cpu clock on i cant enter it again, if i try do edizion nothing happens, again cant open the menu
