I am noob and I’m preparing the switch to this Chrismast

I want install some NSP through DBI but that they doesn’t show when boot to atmosphere

I don’t find any home brew to do this but I’m think if there is a simple process using NX explorer and moving some files to another folder, like a forwarded to hide the game and recover if you bring back the file to a original place
 
You can't do that. Moving files will work from OS perspective as deleting games and system will remove entry from registry, so bringing it back after will cause issues as files are not stored in game unique folders (aka it can be a stored in Let's say "80001", you will move that, system can put something else to folder "80001" and by bringing back game folder with the same name will enivetably result in crash, changing folder name will either crash system, or it will be undetected, or it will be automatically removed).

HOS is not like Windows, Linux or Mac. It's managing most files for you instead of leaving this job to user/game devs.

There are though ways to change icons (and names too iirc), search tutorials here.

Yeah this might be a good option if you don't mind it showing that there's something there, but not showing what games they are. You could set up custom names and icons for every game (requires sys-tweak sysmodule), tho can use the same ones for each game - maybe make them look like presents to be unwrapped, or you could try to make icons that match the background so it looks like there's nothing there, and you could set the name to blank/a space.
Then you could have an ultrahand script that you could quickly run from the overlay when you're ready, that would delete all the custom icons/names, to reveal the actual games. Might have to reboot after running the script for them to actually show.

It could be. I need more time and experience. For now I start with CFW in emummc and Tesla menu working. Next step is change to ultra hand. Later think about change icons and names manually. I don’t know if I would reach to write a script to do it on the fly

If you asked in the ultrahand thread, the dev or someone else might write you a script to remove the custom names/icons, it wouldn't take long for someone who knew what they were doing with it
