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.

It is normal for the InfoNX to show 0 for temperature and fanspeed? The reduce battery aging also doesn't stay selected when exiting the overlay?
I have not used these before and the original github doesn't have a readme

I'm sorry but I'm a bit confused as to what I need to update, hopefully, you can help.
I updated to the latest firmware, from what I understand, the overlays work well on handheld but for some reason, tesla crashes when docked, currently, I'm using versions that worked on 15.0.1.
I'm also using some version of sys clk which allows me to go up to 1862mhz.
Out of all of the overlays, I only care about Tesla (obviously), status monitor, eumiibo, and a sys clk version where I am able to use the KIP to go put up to 1862 memory, would love some assistance as in the past I had tons of crashes and it was rather annoying to deal with.
Thanks!
