How to setup everything so you can read FPS with Status Monitor and manipulate FPS with FPSLocker

Atmosphere CFW is required. SX OS and other CFWs are not supported. It's advised to use Atmosphere's USB Transfer Tool homebrew to transfer files. If you use Hekate's USB Mass Storage and you will be putting files using any other Operating System than Windows, you must run Hekate's Archive Bit Fixer after putting all files.

  1. Download newest SaltyNX release from HERE, unpack zip file, copy both folders (SaltySD and atmosphere) to the root of your sdcard, accept any popup about overwriting folders.
  2. Download newest nx-ovlloader release from HERE, unpack zip file, copy atmosphere folder to the root of sdcard, accept any popup about overwriting folders.
  3. Download newest Tesla Menu release from HERE, copy switch folder to the root of sdcard, accept any popup about overwriting folders.
  4. Download Status Monitor Overlay release from HERE, copy Status-Monitor-Overlay.ovl to switch\.overlays folder. It may not be visible in USB Mass Storage, but it's there.
  5. Download FPSLocker release from HERE, copy FPSLocker.ovl to switch\.overlays folder. It may not be visible in USB Mass Storage, but it's there.
  6. Download sys-clk newest version from HERE, copy all 3 folders to the root of sdcard, accept any popup about overwriting folders.
  7. Restart Switch, now you can access overlays by pressing all 3 buttons at once: L, D-pad down and R-stick (aka pressing it).

Additionally for FPSLocker download newest set of patches from FPSLocker Warehouse for games that need more things to be tweaked to get proper FPS boost.

In case of any other question read READMEs of those tools.
