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.

Yes, it had the commit by @masagrator, but it was a workaround.
He reverted it and made a proper fix in libnx.

It´s nothing serious because everything is working fine, just cosmestics.

make sure that you also update other overlays to avoid crashes on 16.x

Buddies, I just make an update on the post https://gbatemp.net/threads/tesla-the-nintendo-switch-overlay-menu.557362/post-10121629 and put a new set of builds using latest Libtesla, libnx and Atmosphere-libs, please take a test and let me to know how it works for you.

Please if somebody uses another Overlay not there and if we can make a latest build.

You don't need to put status monitor there as 0.9.0 is already compiled with libnx fixes and works fine with 16.0.0+

Actually downgraded libtesla shouldn't be able to compile with newest status monitor code as I have introduced new functions related to drawing graph. So dunno what you actually put there. My libtesla and main libtesla are already very different and it's not possible to straightforwardly compile status monitor with main one

Edit: According to file name, it's 0.8.1, not 0.9.0. Delete it please because you're confusing people

Thanks a lot, will change the file with a link to your github, it's OK or you should remove all?

thanks for your great work.

 

[masagrator]

it's OK

It's okay now.

Thanks for your repack. However, emuiibo doesn't work unless you use the v0.6.5 version from Github.

Thanks for your repack. However, emuiibo doesn't work unless you use the v0.6.5 version from Github.

For me "Works" but some text is displayed as ???

I am using Emuiibo 0.6.5 from https://gbatemp.net/threads/tesla-the-nintendo-switch-overlay-menu.557362/post-10100476 and the OVL from that repo the OVL shows:

Using the latest build, the emulation status is shown as ??? and the menu for ZL-ZR also.

But with booth OVLs the emulation works fine.

 

[baba91]

how do u close it/bring the menu back up again after setting an overlay?

Yes you need to close the overlay befire update it (press B)

 

[lucas millington]

yeah its not working for me, i put all the files into the sd card the tesla overlay and ovlloader and nothing happens

 

[element14]

Installed on 16.0.2

 

[thatguyoverthere]

hi, i updated to hos 16.0.1 and updated all overlays, tesla, etc.. everything...

Thing is, once i bring the menu overlay and select a field, i can't close and or navigate on tesla again.

Also, in most games shows 254 fps.

Any clue?, Thank you sooo much

SOLVED: had a bunch of .ovl that doesnt needed at all, so delete em and keep the needed ones and now working fine, i supose was a memory thing

Can you compile ShareNX or whatever the best screenshot sharing app is for Tesla?

Thank you SO much for these! Things were crashing in docked mode so I had to update ovlloader and ovlmenu.
