Hi everyone. I'm a total noob at this so this is what I did.

I recently bought a second hand New 3Ds XL with an existing custom firmware. The first thing I did was to update FBI using the in app option that says "Update FBI", updated no issues.

Since the console already had Luma3ds v10. I used the popular 3DS Hacks Guide, just to update to the latest Luma version and stuff. After installing those Metroid games you see there, I found that I had two FBI apps. Now, the original one is in Spanish (top left), because I'm from México and the other one (bottom right), was created somehow, is in English.

How can I delete any of them?, I would like to keep the one that is in English, but how?, or, which one should I delete?. I tried to use the app manager on my 3ds settings but there's only one FBI there. I like keeping things clean and organized, how can I just keep one FBI without breaking something?.

EDIT: If I remember correctly, I think that new FBI app appeared as a gift box after updating FBI. Because when I connected the console to my router, two more gift boxes appeared too.

Thank you!.

Chances are the first one was a Health & Safety app inject.

I would just ctrtransfer to a known good/clean state instead of carrying on with using whatever the previous owner did, because you don't know what they might have done, and we can't know either. So if you have issues in the future, it'll be hard to get any kind of proper help.

If you haven't formatted the 3DS when you first got it i suggest doing so now. Also copy/paste the sd card contents to your pc (for now), and reformat it again as Fat32 32kb cluster size, and follow the steps here to install all the latest FBI, GodMode9 etc and other homebrew apps.

Can't I just uninstall one of the FBI apps?.

    ewww key shops...
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Why do you really want to use key shops nowadays? You're not really paying towards the companies who provided the keys, plus its very sketchy.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    https://gg.deals/game/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/ - I rather use the proper shops, but here are Key shops shown as well. They tell you the risks as well with each shop

  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    One of the keyshops is 95% off at the moment (probably humble bundle keys)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    And a small percentage of keys bought with a stolen credit card.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    You never know if the key works or not, they don't provide a guarantee.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Sure is... and poor devs get hit with the charge backs

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Exactly.
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Thor from "Pirate Software" said its just better to pirate the game than buy from a keyshop if you care about the devs

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    devs don't get hit with the chargebacks, the keys are free to generate
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    at least on steam
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    Except he said the DEVS get hits with the chargeback cost
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    since the key gets bought with a stolen credit card
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    there's nothing to charge back because the keys don't cost them money to generate in the first place
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If the game has a crack sure
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most these crack sites have dead links anymore or the crack don't even work
  • linuxares @ linuxares:
    @The Real Jdbye What don't you get? If someone use a stolen creditcard. Then sell said key on G2A. If I the dev sold the game key, I will get the charge back cost. That's how it works, it doesn't matter if I generate 300 keys if 300 of them are bought with stolen credit cards. I never said it was on Steam, but its the dev that gets hit. There is a ton of stories out there if you google it.
