faketik VS custom-install

Faketik restores deleted tickets if they were somehow removed. https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik/releases/tag/v1.1.2

https://3ds.hacks.guide/troubleshooting if you scroll down on this list it will tell you what to do. Replacing boot.firm file from freshly installed luma zip from that guide may fix it. If not, use 3ds.hacks.guide to try ctr transfer and don't forget to install faketik so you can restore your games and save data. https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik

no, you just have to generate the missing tickets. I usually use faketik

Have ye tried running faketik yet?

Also, next time your apps go missing, youre supposed to run Faketik

1. If NONE of your games are showing up, first back up the contents of your SD card to your computer, then…Download, install, & run [Faketik](https://github.com/ihaveamac/faketik) 2. If you can’t launch the Homebrew app because it too is missing, open the “Health and Safety” app, from there press L+Down+Select to pop up the luma3ds menu, “Miscellaneous Options” → “Switch the hb. title to hblauncher_loader”, Return to home, close the “Health and Safety” app, then open it again. 3. If that doesn’t work, your SD card is likely corrupted. Copy everything off the card (if on Windows or Linux, use [Roadkil's Unstoppable Copier](https://www.roadkil.net/program.php?ProgramID=29)), format the card, test the empty card with [h2testw](https://3ds.hacks.guide/h2testw-(windows).html), and copy everything back if the test is okay. Sometimes that is enough to solve issues like this. 4. If that doesn’t work, setup a new card and put your backup onto it. 5. If that doens’t work, the contents of your backup are no good. Try an older backup if you have one. If not, [Follow the “Finalizing Setup” portion of the guide](https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup.html)

put old SD card in new system & use faketik to get your games back.

But yeah, custom-install can install games without a 3DS system, it just needs some files dumped from the console: https://github.com/ihaveamac/custom-install

Ah, I see. Unless someone can correct me, I've only seen methods that can install games one at a time. Fortunately, you can do a batch install in FBI and GodMode9 where they'll take all the .cia files in a directory and install each and every one with one command. As you can imagine, this will take time to complete depending on how many games you have lined up. A faster method would be to use a PC to install the games with a specific tool. The 3DS CPU and SD I/O speeds are very slow which is why installing games takes so long.

Use custom install https://github.com/ihaveamac/custom-install Guides are on YouTube

the readme on its github should cover everything

Yep, this is the github page and this is the tutorial that worked for me, because the github instructions are kinda confusing.

Like u/Great_Tumbleweee71 said, using a PC is the only way. The fastest way I know is downloading on hshop on PC, and then using Custom Install to put the game on the SD card. Bypasses FBI and the need to have double the space for the game (CIA+installed game)

I personally recommend if you're pirating it to just download the extra DLC files and manually install them to the sd. If you want it to be 10x faster, use custom-install, it's a popular program that supports small or large multi-file installation for your 3DS. All you need to do is let the program run after downloading the cias, and then once the program says custom-install-finalize has been copied to the SD, you place it back into your 3DS and open up custom-install-finalize (Homebrew Launcher app) and it'll do the rest for you; once you return to the home screen your games will appear as if you just bought them. DLC of course won't, but still works the same way. I'm a huge fan of this program so I'm fine with going on a tangent, but it's legitimately 10x faster than using FBI for installs of especially larger files. Have fun!
