Background audio player for the Nintendo Switch + Tesla overlay.

Installation

• Download the release zip from here.
• Extract the zip to the root of your SD card.
• Put mp3/flac or wav files to your SD card.

Make sure you have Tesla Menu and nx-ovlloader installed.

You can manage playback via the Tesla overlay in the release.

User guide

How to play music only on the home menu:

• Launch sys-tune overlay.
• Scroll down to "Play / Pause" section and click on "Tune (default)" once until it says "Pause".
• Whilst on the home menu and without a game launched in the background, scroll down to "Play / Pause" section and click on "Tune" twice until it says "Play".
• (it will say "Play" by default, but you need to click the option at least once for it to be saved to the config file).

Certain games crash when using sys-tune due to resource limits, you can manually create a blacklist by configuring the /config/sys-tune/blacklist.ini file:

[blacklist]
0100F2300D4BA000 = false

Controls

Y - Shuffle

X - Play/Pause

ZR/ZL - Seek
