The graph is really an incredible feature!
Reminds me of my PC gaming days and the endless hours if tweaking graphics settings to get that straight line.

Would be even cooler if there was a mix of graph and Micro/Mini/Full.
Like a toggle to switch between FPS number and graph in those.

For graph to be usable it must be refreshed at around 30 Hz minimum which is heavily taxing on Core #3 when it also must render many texts. We are talking about 20% of Core 3 usage in worst case. Tesla is working fully on CPU, so I cannot merge many taxing things at once if I want for performance stats to be as close to real values as possible.

0.9.0 version is now available.

Changelog:

After few years I have finally tackled graph. So we are close to 1.0.0 release.
If you have any ideas for another graphs I can implement, give me a tip with proper explanation how this should work.

Finally at least one equation I have learned in middle school was useful.

The graph feature adds more memory usage than previous versions? I ask because in 16.0.0 the pool is really constrained, I've already given up on 3 sys-modules because the constant crahes

I have upgraded my FW to 16.0.0 to play Final Fantasy collection. I'm running Tesla, SaltyNX and sys-clk and have no issues related to memory exhaustion.
RAM usage is adjusted to mode that is used. Only static RAM usage is how much space executable itself take.

So 0.9.0 takes 389120 B vs 0.8.3 380928 B

~8kB increase

Now we can compare Full Mode which obviously should be the most RAM hungry vs FPS Graph. Since we cannot separate ovlloader heap and stack mappings from overlay mappings, this includes every mapping of the same type.
I'm testing Full Mode when game is running vs FPS Graph that is rendering graph with all positions busy.
First we can compare heaps (Graph vs Full):

5 599 232 B vs 5 562 368 B

so technically Graph takes more RAM?

Full Mode runs more threads. So now we check how much of RAM stacks and ThreadLocal are taking:

241 664 vs 282 224

So Full Mode needs more RAM to run threads.

So in total we have:
5 840 896 vs 5 844 592

So as you can see, FPS Graph actually takes 4 kB of RAM less than Full Mode.

Uh, accidentally released 0.9.0 without libnx fix.

Download it again to get release that's not crashing randomly in docked mode.

i get "inf" when enabling the FPS counter with the new 0.9 version of the status monitor overlay.
I use salty nx 0.5 and nx fps 0.4.

Read changelog of 0.9.0 version carefully

And you can update SaltyNX too

penna · May 4, 2023

Maybe I'm a bonehead, but I absolutely cannot get the FPS counter working. I have your fork of SaltyNX 0.5.2 as well as NX-FPS 1.4.0. No matter what game I launch, the FPS Counter overlay always shows 254.0, and the Mini and Full menus don't show any of the FPS related data at all. I've restarted into emuNAND twice now and it's still the same.

Edit:

I am a Bonehead. Earlier in the day I updated all of my Sysmods but neglected to update Status Monitor, so I was still running an old version. Updating fixed it.

masagrator · May 27, 2023

Small update 0.9.1

This is for people that like to organize overlays in Tesla Menu. Now you can change to whatever filename you want Status Monitor and Micro mode will work. It is required to update Tesla Menu to at least 1.2.3 version for this to work.

Is there a way to disable Power Flow stat? Or resize text? The text already takes too much space like is for people with eye problem, even in micro. Maybe on oled is different. I use Mini mode and is kinda distracting(even disabled fps plugin). Thanks!

masagrator · Jul 1, 2023

Updated NX-FPS to support new command for pushing frames in Vulkan, fixing an issue with FPS Counter not working in Undead Horde 2.

masagrator · Oct 1, 2023

With SaltyNX 0.7.0 release I am integrating NX-FPS into SaltyNX. This allows us for better compability with games.

When updating SaltyNX remember to remove "NX-FPS.elf" from SaltySD/plugins folder!

So it seems Nintendo again did something that broke reading temperatures and now PCB and SoC temperatures are not available on 17.0.0. I am waiting for info if they just changed IDs, or they removed it completely.

In second case I have a workaround how to read temperatures directly from chip, so don't worry. Stay tuned.

masagrator · Oct 14, 2023

Released 0.9.2 version

17.0.0 FW issues fixed:
- SoC and PCB temperatures showing 0
- Charger Type, Charger Max Voltage and Charger Max Current showing wrong values

General changes:
- SoC and PCB temperatures across all FWs are now showing decimals
- Next to Battery Power Draw in Full, Mini and Micro modes you can see now also estimated time left before Switch will shutdown (thanks to rkuchkarov for PR #56)
- In Micro instead of MB for RAM now you will see GB up to one decimal
- In Micro now power draw shows only one decimal
- Fan level will now render only one decimal across all modes
- Miscellaneous now also shows NVENC and NVJPG clocks (0 MHz means they are not active) (thanks to averne for PR #57)

Since 17.0.0 audsnoop is not available, DSP Usage is not shown in Other -> Miscellaneous tab

Released 1.0.0 version

Full changelog:

Fixed bugs:

Temperatures for PCB and SoC were swapped in 0.9.2 release

Sometimes exiting mode resulted in exiting overlay

Changes:

Introduction of experimental configuration file, which allows changing exit button combo, Mini + Micro + FPS Counter + FPS Graph UIs, refresh rates. More explained here.

Button combos are read from 3 different configurations files, the most important is status-monitor config, next config used by Ultrahand overlay, and last config for Tesla Menu.

Now default combo button is L + D-PAD Down + R Stick. If someone wants to bring back old combo, use status-monitor config file.

Allow reading real frequencies from sys-clk 2.0.0_rc4+ sysmodule, if not installed showed frequencies in Mini and Micro modes are falling back to target frequencies

Allow reading RAM load from sys-clk 2.0.0_rc4+

Remove option to change refresh rate with button combo

Remove option to change position of Mini and FPS Counter modes with button combo

Show proper button icons in Full mode (only exceptions are general UP, DOWN, LEFT and RIGHT because they include both Sticks and D-Pad)

If sys-clk 2.0.0+ is active, Micro mode shows next to frequencies instead of @ also △ if real frequency is higher by 20 MHz than expected, ▽ if it's lower by 20 MHz, ≠ if it's lower by 50 MHz (seeing this for longer than few seconds without any change suggests that your overclocking solution is bad).

PFPS is now not showing in Mini mode

Small examples of how now Full mode looks like + what you can do with Mini, Micro and FPS Counter.
For some of new stuff it is required to have sys-clk 2.0.0_rc4 or newer installed.

linuxares · Nov 10, 2023

Yay! Great work @masagrator

masagrator · Nov 11, 2023

Released version 1.0.1

This was released mainly for people that would like to see RAM Load without seeing real frequencies + deltas in Full mode.

Allow hiding real frequencies, deltas and target frequencies in Full mode (deltas are not showed if both real + target frequencies are hidden).

This release also includes 2 shadow updates for 1.0.0, which includes fixes for overflowing of real frequencies + deltas, and also fixed RAM positioning calculations in Micro and Mini modes.

I don't know if it's only me but i have an issue with Status-Monitor-Overlay : FPS is stuck at 254 and i cannot return to the overlay menu. I reinstalled everything twice, and the issue us still there.

I will try later another full reinstall

Post automatically merged: Dec 7, 2023

I just reinstall and still the same issue.

I don't understand what is missing :

Either your game is 32-bit / in incompatible games list, or just happened that it didn't catch game and going back to main menu and choosing mode again can solve it.

I guess because you didn't read release notes... Wait, where I saw this already?

Diablo 2 was working before I updated everything, so it should be still compatible isn't ?

For combo button, I am like an idiot but unfortunately it's not working (see video)...perhaps it's due to my fps locked issue ?

Thanks for your support by the way
