Host process for loading Switch overlay OVLs (NROs).

This is the loader service of the Tesla ecosystem. It's derived from the default nx-hbloader.

When being run, this service automatically tries to chainload /switch/.overlays/ovlmenu.ovl, the Tesla Menu. From there on it will load and switch between different overlays on request.

Installation

Download the latest release of nx-ovlloader and the Tesla Menu from the GitHub Release page and extract it onto your SD card.

Similar to normal homebrews, you place your .ovl files in the /switch/.overlays folder on your SD card.

User guide

What is Tesla

  • 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.

How to use

After a reboot, hold down L and D-Pad Down and push on the Right joy stick to bring up Tesla at any time.

Navigation works as you imagine it.
