Front-page Homebrew RELEASE  Updated

Tesla - The Nintendo Switch Overlay Menu

fhwyjbd.png

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.

hi, I'm experiencing various crashes and every time it tells me that the error is caused by a folder in atmosphere/contents, and specifically "420000000007E51A" which is none other than the nx-ovlloader. I've read around and I know there are compatibility issues with the latest FW, does anyone know a way to fix this?

i do it , i use his atmosphere fork , but if i open tesla menu and select amiibo or other, only edizon work, give me the error.

It has nothing to do with atmosphere. It’s libnx. You can recompile Atmosphere with the new libnx, but you’ll also need to create your own loader sigpatches using Mr.Dude’s tool.

Anyway, for newbs, compiling libnx isn’t enough. You must also install it. If you’re compiling on a system that requires sudo, use sudo -E make install.

you can git clone https://github.com/ELY3M/libnx
then cd libnx and make and make install

Thanks for the upload, would have recompiled it myself, but there seems to be an issue in the devkitpro install on my setup.


Edit : can confirm it solved all problems. No more crashes.

That's is thanks to @masagrator and @ELY_M they are the mages I just compiled the sources from they.

By the way that's why I love MSYS if something gey sketchy you only delete a folder and reinstall (pacman) all packages you use and no problem. No inter software dependencies no system variables no duplicated libraries to catch etc.
