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.

Spoiler: Screenshots

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.

Thanks a lot and have fun using and extending it

The overlay doesn’t work in docked mode. I have it working handheld though! I love the scrolling text and the smoothness of the selection. Thanks for the update!

 

[DonDrapersHat]

Don't know if this is the right place to ask or not but how do I turn off cheats being automatically on in Edizon with this overlay since the latest updates?

The usual method of u8! 0=0 or whatever it is doesn't seem to work for me now.

Edit: Nevermind, I failed to remove the ";". My bad. Sorry.

The crash come too if you have too much cheats files on the folder name of the game

 

[s099064146]

I just updated the firmware from 9.2.0 to 10.0.0, and I also updated the atmosphere and Hekate by downloading the kosmos 15.5
Also, I have updated the nx-overloader and tesla-menu both for 10.0.0
I have also followed the warning for removing the
/atmosphere/contents/010000000007E51A folder
However, when I tried to open the overlay menu in animal crossing new horizon.
Could anyone please help me?
The attachment is the error message and occurred condition and the code I tried to apply in the EdiZon overlay menu.

I'ts because you have too much cheats files on the game folder id in "contents" (it's one of the problem i see)
atmosphere/contents/01006F8002326000/cheats/

Same here, let me know if you're able to fix this.

Thank you for your advice.
Could you please give me some advice about deleting which folder?

Honestly speaking, I only have 4 folders which I really need them for cheating, other with (X) means that I don't even know what are those files existing purposes.

00FF0000636C6BFF - Overclock Module by m4xw (X)
0100abf008968000 - Pokemon Sword (cheat)
0100C2D00EBD4000 - Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town (cheat)
01006F8002326000 - Animal Crossing New Horizon (cheat)
01008db008c2c000 - Pokemon Shield (cheat)
420000000007E51A - nx-ovlloader (New)
010000000000000D - dmnt is a reimplementation of Nintendo's debug monitor (X)
010000000000002B - Error Report services (X)

0100000000000352 - emuiibo (X) (Maybe I will need it in the future but not now)
420000000000000E - Sys-ftpd (X) (Never use it since I am really afraid of being banned by going online)
690000000000000D - sys-con (X)
4200000000000010 - ldn_mitm (X)

Look inside folders cheats if you have lot of xxxx.txt, this is the problem (like i write in my answer)

 

[masagrator]

420000000000000E - Sys-ftpd (X) (Never use it since I am really afraid of being banned by going online)

If this not sys-ftpd-light, then delete it

Um, .... not really

Oh, may I know how to check if it is the sys-ftpd-light?

 

[deejay87]

and the other games folders ?
Your crash is when you are in a specific game ?

I only test animal crossing new horizon. Currently, I only play this game.

I tried to update this folder's contents to sys-ftpd-light and disable it by making the boot2.flag with other last name.

 

[s099064146]

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I originally updated to kosmos 15.5 but I got the error :
(I forgot to take a picture)
Failed to apply 'nosigchk'!
Failed to launch HOS!
Fixed by using the Kosmos_patches_04_17_2020_bootconfig.
And I injected the payload hekate_ctcaer_5.1.4_J.bin.
I am not sure if this is the reason why I got overlay menu crashed in animal crossing new horizon.

Can confirm too much cheats in game by game basis (txt) can make current Edizon overlay to crash, like before. So manually delete all unimportant cheats in the .txt, clean it up then try again, just use like 5 for example.

I see, and I will try to test it later.
I put the codes in EdiZon cheat simulator was fine.
Now I understand that it may be an illusion.

Is this one better?
Since this file is for the animal crossing new horizon inventory items, I tried to merge the redundant separation.
I know that it still has 6 rows in total.

Also, is there any way to modify the cheat text file in Switch?
(no connection of internet like ftp)
It is a little bit painful to turn off the Switch and withdraw the SD card and edit it on the PC and then insert SD card back and finally turn on by injecting payload.

You should try it, can't really confirm for now.

Maybe try using nx mtp for direct usb transfer? Use the one with purple icon.

I see. Thank you for your advice.
If there is any result, I will post it again.

Hey @WerWolv is it possible to sort the overlays in the menu?
