Ultrahand Overlay is a Tesla Menu replacement built from the ground up off of libtesla that provides powerful C/C++ commands through the usage of its own custom interpretive programming language (similar to Shell/BASH). It is a versatile tool that enables you to create and share custom command-based packages, providing enhanced functionality for managing settings, files and directories on your Nintendo Switch.

With Ultrahand, you have the flexibility to customize and shape your file management system according to your needs, empowering you with greater control over your system configurations.

Features

Ultrahand Overlay currently offers the following features:

Create Directories:
- Effortlessly create directories on your SD card by specifying the directory path. Ultrahand will handle the creation process for you.
Copy Files or Directories:
- Easily copy files or directories from one location to another on your SD card. Just provide the source and destination paths, and Ultrahand will seamlessly handle the copying process.
Delete Files or Directories:
- Simplify file and directory deletion on your SD card. By specifying the path of the file or directory you want to delete, Ultrahand promptly removes it, making the deletion process hassle-free.
Move Files or Directories:
- Seamlessly move files or directories between locations on your SD card. Provide the source path and the destination directory path, and Ultrahand takes care of the moving process, ensuring smooth relocation.
Download Files:
- Download files to your SD card with ease. Efficiently retrieve files from repositories or URLs to your desired location. Whether you need to download/update homebrew or transfer files between locations, this feature simplifies the process, making repository management a breeze.
Unzip Files:
- Extract compressed zip files on your SD card by unzipping archived files, preserving their original structure. Whether you have downloaded zip archives or received compressed files, this command simplifies the process of extracting them, making it effortless to access the contents within.
Modify INI Files:
- Edit INI files on your SD card with ease. Take full control over your configurations by updating existing key-value pairs, adding new entries, or creating new sections within the INI file using Ultrahand.
Hex Edit Files:
- Perform hexadecimal editing of files on your SD card. Edit the binary data directly, allowing for precise control over your data. Ultrahand's Hex Edit Files feature enables you to analyze, modify, and customize files in their raw form.
Convert Mods:
- Convert pchtxt mods into ips or cheats format.
System Commands:
- There are a variety of system commands that users can utilize. These include functions to shutdown, reboot, reboot directly into Hekate entries/modes, manipulate the screen's backlight, and turn off all bluetooth controllers.
Run Commmands On Boot:
- Users can also utilize their own /switch/.packages/boot_package.ini file (with a command section boot) to run a series of commands once upon device boot-up.

Installation

Your Nintendo Switch must have the necessary homebrew environment set up, running HOS (Horizon Operating System) version 16.0.0 or above.

Make sure you have nx-ovlloader installed.
Download the latest Ultrahand ovlmenu.ovl and place it within "/switch/.overlays/".
- Warning: This will overwrite Tesla Menu if already installed.
After installing Ultrahand Overlay, a new folder named "ultrahand" will be created within the root config folder on your SD card (/config/ultrahand/) along with a config.ini file containing various Ultrahand settings.
Launch Ultrahand similarly to Tesla Menu with your specified hotkey. A new folder will be made ("/switch/.packages/") with a preset package.ini file for your base menu commands.
Place your custom "package.ini" package file in your Ultrahand package directory ("/switch/.packages/<PACKAGE_NAME>/"). This file will contains the commands for your custom Ultrahand package.
Your commands will now show up on the packages menu within Ultrahand.

See Ultrahand Packages for a comprehensive list of known packages.

Complete recalibration of character width map.
- This should result in more proper table alignments when using tables with info sections aligned to the right.
Multiple memory related bug fixes.
- More memory leaks have been fixed, which should result in less heap overloads / crashes.
Language replacements are now performed on every ListItem and CategoryHeader upon initialization.
- This fixed entries like, for example, Reboot To and Shutdown from not being properly translated.
- Language json's may still need some translations for the new words that have been included.
Removal of shutdown controllers for space conservation. (commented out)
- Did not want to remove this function, but because it only works with Nintendo controllers (and not Mission Control) it does seem somewhat redundant since the sync button on Nintendo controllers effectively turns off the controller as well.

- Has been resolved and should result in better memory handling across all Ultrahand packages/commands.
Slight tweaks to the displayed version label formatting for overlays and packages.
Failed interpreter spawning bug fix.
- Commands would occasionally get locked in an "in-progress" mode when there were memory related problems when trying to spawn the interpreter thread. When memory related problems occur, the command will return a failed command state instead (red "X").

Package Info Section: You can now include a Package Info section within your package.ini file by using [Package Info] as an empty command. If there's no reference to [Package Info], the package info section will not be displayed.
Package title colors now accept custom RGB888 hex representations (i.e. #FFFFFF for white).
NOTE: RGB888 hex color format will be downscaled to RGB444 for libTesla compatibility.

Update:
Ive added a new function ini_file to read data from ini files.
- ini_file <ini_file_path> is how it is defined.

  - mode: this can be set to default, option, or toggle.
  - grouping: this can be set to default or split (split splits commands into groups based upon subfolders)
  - footer: null by default. When used with option mode, it can be dynamically read on the menu.
- DONE is now replaced by a checkmark.

1.1.9

Bug Fixes: Static menu variable and rootFrame handling.
These bug fixes potentially resolve the menu handling issue that occasionally can occur for some testers.
Overall it should be more stable with static implementations of the particular variables I modified.

1.1.8

Introduction of footers for commands.
Testing potential bug fix for handling menu input.
This issue is not very common, but occasionally the menu can get locked into a weird orientation, preventing you from moving to packages or overlays at times. Its hard to figure out the exact trigger, but I've attempted to address the issue here. Pre-release will be dropped after more testing. If you see this bug on this version, do let me know in issues.

1.1.7

Download and unzip files implementation has been added.
Command to download:
- download <FILE_URL> <DESTINATION_FILE_OR_FOLDER>
Command to unzip:
- unzip <SOURCE_FILE> <DESTINATION_FOLDER>
CURL has made it a bit beefier as you can tell, but the potential benefits are pretty great for having these commands handy. Lots of new packages can be made for updating and installing software.

update: slight bug fix for handling more URLs (07/07/2023)
update: bug fix for unzip and createDirectories (07/08/2023)

1.1.6

Move commands now create directory if the directory does not exist.

1.1.4

Ultrahand is now a replacement for ovlmenu.ovl.
Ultrahand packages are now relocated to sdmc:/switch/.packages/.
