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.

- Run Commmands On Boot:
- Users can also utilize their own
/switch/.packages/boot_package.inifile (with a command sectionboot) to run a series of commands once upon device boot-up.
- Users can also utilize their own
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.inifile 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.inifile 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.

boot_package.ini(just like before).

- This fix was set in
libultrahand, so all overlays compiled with it will now include this fix.
- Underscan and "right-side mode" bug fixes and adjustments.
- Users no longer need to exit the overlay for the underscan fix to correct the overlay dimensions (auto-corrections).

Version 1.9.8
- Important bug fix for
pchtxt2ipsconversion not properly naming the ips files.- This issue came up because of the
NO_FSTREAMdirective change in v1.9.7 (was not properly handled). - Side-note: Conversion of pchtxt's in v1.9.7 is bugged so v1.9.8 is recommended (for usage with
Mod Alchemist).
- This issue came up because of the

Version 1.9.7
- Improved
downloadandunzipcommands.- Library
zziphas been migrated tominizipfor improved compatibility (as well as z64 support). - Tested with near 4 GB downloads (FAT32 limit) as well as files within zips.
- Also tested with zips containing thousands of files.
- Library
- Buffer calibrations for
download,unzip,copy, andhexfunctions.- Calibrations have been set for
nx-ovlloaderandnx-ovlloader+based upon available heap memory. nx-ovlloader:- Download: 128 KB read, 32 KB write
- Unzip: 128 KB read, 32 KB write
- Copy: 64 KB read / write
- Hex: 64 KB read
nx-ovlloader+:- Download: 256 KB read, 128 KB write
- Unzip: 256 KB read, 128 KB write
- Copy: 256 KB read / write
- Hex: 256 KB read
- The result is faster downloads / unzips / copying / hexing and less memory issues.
- Optimizations in this revision have lead to more heap memory available overall.
- Calibrations have been set for
- The selection overlay (sourced commands) has been optimized.
- Improved memory management for usage with
nx-ovlloader(base loader).- Base loader will now only draw up to 250 list items to prevent crashes.
- Side-note: Keep in mind that if you have more than 250 items on the page, you will not be seeing everything.
nx-ovlloader+however has this draw limit uncapped.
- Base loader will now only draw up to 250 list items to prevent crashes.
- Improved memory management for usage with
- Library migration for
janssontocJSON.cJSONcompiles smaller and should be faster for the use cases within Ultrahand.
- Now compiled without
fstream(NO_FSTREAMdirective), utilizingstdio.hinstead.- This should be faster and help keep compilation size smaller.
- Optimizations and fixes to various rendering methods.
- The result is very slightly faster rendering than v1.9.6 with less potential issues.
- Across the board optimizations to all
libultramethods.- Improved ini, hex, path, and json functions.
- Bug fixes for
NO_FSTREAMdirective.
- Slight cleanup of lingering visual annoyances within the
Listclass.- This fixes the menu not returning all the way to the top after scrolling.
- Fix for menu auto jumping to top / bottom when pressing into a table at the very bottom / top instead of scrolling to the end.
- Slightly improved table scrolling.
- Removal of unnecessary internal methods.
- Memory leak bug fix for rapid page swaps (faster than it can draw).
- Bottom touch regions have been properly aligned based upon the text.
- This should keep the touch regions clean and uniform regardless of language changes.
- New flag option for disabling the auto update of
nx-ovlloader/nx-ovlloader+during the software update command.- To use this, add a file (can be empty) named
NO_LOADER_UPDATES.flaginto/config/ultrahand/flags/. - Side-note: Be cautious of using this, because once the flag has been added, Ultrahand will not be updating
nx-ovlloader.
- To use this, add a file (can be empty) named
- For interpreter in progress with downloads / unzips / large copies, the bottom menu bar will now display
HideandCancelwith proper touch integration. - Cleanup of
uniqueandsharedpointers inmain.cppto now purely utilize raw pointers instead. - The glyph cache will now be cleared automatically when you enter Ultrahand packages as well as the selection overlay.
- This prevents the glyph cache from getting too large after entering tons of pages. (potential memory leak)
- The
Script Overlaynow displays the package forwarder commands. - New language variable for abbreviated
Overlays, for drawing on the bottom touch region.- This will be helpful for languages with large translations of this word.
- Faster wallpaper loading.
- Removal of all
.reservedeclarations throughout the project.- From extensive testing, it appears that memory reservations have been contributing to heap overload and memory leaks.
- Revert of all
__builtin_memory related methods back to theirstdcounterpart.- For the use cases within the project, the builtin appears to be less ideal since in many circumstances size is not determined during compilation.
- Bug fix for memory expansion toggle.
nx-ovlloader+was not auto-applying upon the first click (with no expansion zips initially installed).
- Bug fix for favoriting / starring overlays not properly utilizing jump menu navigation.

- If the json / key does not exist, it will be auto-created.
set-json-key <JSON_PATH> <JSON_KEY> <NEW_JSON_KEY>- This changes the name of a key in a json
- Will do nothing if the json does not exist.
- Cleanup of all lingering visual glitches during menu navigation.
- No more cursor flicker as pages transition.
- Proper isolation / cleanup of
jumpToItemexecution. - The Language Menu will now also return to the last selected item after a language change (with translations properly applied).
- Updating Ultrahand from the
Software Updatepage will now also update the version label stored in the HBAppStore'sinfo.json.- This will prevent "new update" flags from appearing on the HBAppStore after updating Ultrahand from within itself.
- Side-note: If you don't see the version label on the update command footer before clicking it, the version label will not be updated.
- If HBAppStore does not have the latest version, the store will still say that there is an update available.
- Side-note: If you don't see the version label on the update command footer before clicking it, the version label will not be updated.
- This will prevent "new update" flags from appearing on the HBAppStore after updating Ultrahand from within itself.
- Various alignment corrections (tables, scrollbar, list height corrections, internal
Listcorrections, etc). - Various scrolling related fixes and improvements.
- Various bug fixes and code optimizations.

- This allows
- Refresh commands with
jumpToItemare now moved torefresh-to.- Called
refresh-to <ITEM_NAME> [ITEM_VALUE] [EXACT_MATCH]. - Exact match is an optional
true/falsevalue, set totrueby default.- When false, it will check if the value / versions are contained within the strings rather than an exact match.
- Called
