fastCFWswitch is a simple overlay to boot into payloads to change between CFWs or boot into tools. The overlay is based on Tesla and presents the payloads based on a configuration file on the sd-card.
Its possible to define the entry name and separate them by categories, the order is currently used directly from the ini file. An example configuration is included in the release zip.
Installation
Requirements:
- A Tesla compatible CFW.
- Tesla Menu and nx-ovlloader installed and confirm working.
- A Switch with an Erisa SOC, since Mariko switches don't support reboot to payload.
Extract the latest release to the SD card.
Modify the configuration in /config/fastCFWSwitch/config.ini

Compatibility
Supported devices:
Only Switch consoles with the old Erista SOC are supported, because exosphere uses a bootrom exploit to reboot to a payload.
