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.

Try moving

bpcInitialize();

to InitServices

Add bpcExit() under exitServices

And well - it looks like you will need to share more than this, because what you have shared looks good.

That was exactly it! Thanks so much for your help and for your time!

is there a way to turn off automatic-on whenever you are in-game?

 

[Smoker1]

is there a way to turn off automatic-on whenever you are in-game?

Go to
sd:/atmosphere/system_settings.ini
find
dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x1
and change to
dmnt_cheats_enabled_by_default = u8!0x0

Alternate is
sd:/atmosphere/config/templates/system_settings.ini
Same as mentioned above.

I have changed to u8!0x0, yet edizon overlay still seems to have automatic on.
Any ideas?

 

[Smoker1]

No idea. Dont know why that is the Default.

 

[deejay87]

Maybe more easy to try mine, cause this work for all

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I have tried a lot of things/configurations/different forums, etc nothing I have done changed the outcome to actually work. So at this point, I don't know what I'm doing wrong.. In the ovlmenu and EdizonOverlay, have nothing in them for me when I download them. I tried using Edizon.nro instead, but that didn't work.
I'm not a coder or anything. If I'm just completely wrong so be it. I did like reading up all day with this stuff though.

thanks, I saw the difference.
Will you try to support the non English characters? (I am using Chinese.)

 

[yinyangshi001]

Excuse me ,tesla can't work if i used ldn_mitm v1.3.3

It does work, you just have too many sys modules active at the same time.

 

[Philipp_94]

I have changed to u8!0x0, yet edizon overlay still seems to have automatic on.
Any ideas?

If the problem still persists, make sure the config file is saved in atmosphere/config and not in atmosphere/config_template, as the template folder is just there in case you mess up the config so you can redo.

 

[WerWolv]

Quick heads up: Tesla is currently broken in 10.0.0, it will simply silently kill itself on launch. I will look into it tomorrow when I have some time. Thank you for your patience
