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.

I think it is activated but I can't see it because when I press the combo buttons the game has no response and I booted to hekate randomly two times

WHAT?! I fixed it by setting my tv output scale to 100% But I need my tv set to 96

 

[josete2k]

Maybe you need to copy the atmosphere/contents folder too.

If not working, you can update your files with this zip, it also includes the new hekate and a new compiled atmos with the modded libnx.

It works now with ur previous files and 100% tv scale. What do u mean by new atmos and Hekate modded with libnx? I already have latest atmosphere and Hekate but what those modded versions are?

 

[masagrator]

This is a long known bug that setting tv scaling too low will cause overlay to not show and this differs between resolutions.

 

[josete2k]

if you change the Edizon overlay FrameBufferWidth from 448 to 405 then the opening Edizon overlay menu at the River City Girls 2 loading screen, the 100% crash will be gone, but the menu looks distorted
anybody knows why, it won't crash on 405 Width? @proferabg , @TomSwitch

I had crashes too but I've tested this game with latest files I uploaded and it doesn't crash now.

Build with Libnx from ELY3M (https://github.com/ELY3M/libnx)

is this with memory clock at 1800?

So I seem to have gotten it to work without crashing (for now) though I don't have the 1862 oc option, how do i add it?

 

[sirikaro]

Removed due account limitations...

I tried a lot o things this works like a charm and has a lot of things I don't know can do it, hopes one day we can talk to ask you for advice. For this pack thanks a lot.

PR was officially accepted to main libnx repo
https://github.com/switchbrew/libnx/pull/606

I have sent PR to libtesla reverting last commit since we don't need it anymore (last commit is not conflicting with new PR, so it's not a must, but just performance choice)

[SNES-Fan]

Hello
Can some please help me getting Zing to work on FW 16.0.1.
I've updated Tesla (ovlmenu v1.2.1), EdiZon SE (v3.8.37) and Zing Breeze-Overlay.ovl (Zing HOS16_quickfix)
But no menu is shown at all.

Do I handle it wrong ?
1.) Starting an app you want to use a cheat with.
2.) Starting EdiSon SE, all cheats are shown on the left side
3.) Press L and add the wanted cheats to the bookmarks shown on the right side by pressing +
4.) Go back to app.
5.) Press L+DPadDown+RightStick to show menu/overlay.... but nothing is shown.

Really no one able to help me ?

Sorry, I don't see there a solution for me. I can't recompile so if there're code updates without release I'm helpless.

Oh yeah, that's it. I've just renewed all files and it works again.
Strange, why is that needed ?
However, thanks a lot.

 

[impeeza]

Because as statdes recently has been changes on libnx (Atmosphère) and libtesla (tesla) and all the overlays and core files need to be updated to latest
