Hey guys, I don't know where to put this since I can't post a question in the "Ask" section but basically some of my games have this sort of text and I don't know what's wrong with it lol. Thanks in advance and delete this if this isn't the right place to ask this, if you can PM me where to post this :)

What Game is this? Was it a CIA you installed or did you download the game from NUS? A bit more info would help.

We need more details.
What game is that?
What method did you use to install it?
Were there any errors when the game was installed?
Does the game match the region/language of your system?

Since it's a new 3ds try to disable the clock + cpu option (that option glitched my Colors! 3D and Super Pokemon Rumble games)

It's Mario Sports Superstars, but it also happens with Super Smash Bros. Rune Factory and I forgot one more game. It was downloaded using freeshop.

We need more details.

Mario Sports Superstars but also happens with other games, it was downloaded using freeshop and nope US, I tried downloading the other region but it was still the same. And no, there were no errors during installation :)

I'm so sorry for the doublepost/necro bump but I have noticed that this missing text doesn't only occur in games but also in the UI and streetpass.

You can notice that the symbols are missing this could probably solve the text problems in the games below?

I made a thread for this and tried to look for answers but I never got any. If you look at the following images (inside the links) the text are unreadable or
isn't there at all. While not all games are not like this for me, it's still pretty irritating and might happen on future games?

The games are Rune Factory 4 and Super Smash Bros. This also happened to some sports in Mario Superstars such as Tennis and Golf. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Nobody seems to know why it would be really great if someone could help.

Did you install a custom font? If so, it's missing the custom symbols used by the 3DS OS, which are located in the Unicode Private Use Area.

I'm really not sure, I bough this from another person so I don't know if he installed a custom font, is there any way to know?

If you know what to look for, you can dump the Home Menu CIA and disassemble it. Otherwise, you can try reinstalling the Home Menu from the CDN. (I think FBI has an option to redownload a title; not entirely positive.)

The Home Menu title ID is:
  • USA: 00040030 00008F02
  • EUR: 00040030 00009802
  • JPN: 00040030 00008202

EDIT: See @Ryccardo's post below for the Font title IDs. That's probably what you actually need to reinstall.

I have no idea on how to dump files and/or how CDN work, so CDN is something like freeshop/ciangel? I'm sorry for asking too many questions, I'm not really used to this.

@GerbilSoft the system font is not part of Home (although they were invented roughly at the same time as Home text editing)... :)

0004009B-00014002 (First World)
0004009B-00014102 (Chinese)
0004009B-00014202 (Korean)
0004009B-00014302 (Taiwanese)
I was trying to find the Font title but couldn't find it; the only things I could find were specifically for Home Menu. (I guess I didn't search hard enough :V)

Last thing you can do would be:
https://3ds.guide/9.2.0-ctrtransfer.html
(And wiping your SD Card )

This will give u a clean Nand :)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

CDN is nearly the same Software....(just for PC)
I think he means this one :https://github.com/zoltx23/3DNUS/releases
The Title ID you have to find on your own ;)
Little Tipp
I don't really get how the program works it keeps telling me that I gave an invalid input as it didn't match the title id/firmware :/

I don't know about that version of 3DNUS (I use the original by "ground") but you enter a titleid (without the "-") in the middle in the large textbox, plus a title version (without the "v") in the small box

You can find the numbers at https://www.3dbrew.org/wiki/Title_list
