Homebrew FBI App missing from homescreen

Divineheresy88 · Dec 8, 2019

Hey all!

I was grabbing some .CIA VC injected games for the Game Gear and PC engine. Upon using the FBI to install them the app itself disappeared. Would anyone know how to bring it back to the home screen? I've heard that after 300 items certain things do go missing, if that's the case how would I resolve this issue to bring them back?

Thank you so much!

Use emulators instead of VC injects

VC in my opinion has always looked and ran better, i'd prefer to keep it that way if possible.

VC for MANY stuff is better in all honesty, I hate running emulators, many people do, especially if they are only .3dsx ones since I can't stand going into HB menu every time I want to play something...

As for the 300 titles, once you reach that, the system will start hiding non-NAND titles (meaning those installed on the SD card and not things like Camera/Sound/etc.) in the order you installed them starting from oldest, so to make them reappear, just uninstall some stuff from Data Management in 3DS Settings to get yourself back down to under 300.

If you really want to have a crapton of VC games (you won't really play all of them anyways so I suggest to keep it around 50, just keep your favorite ones), install all the VC games you want first, THEN install any non-VC games you want and finally re-install FBI. That way non-VC games will be visible on the menu since they will be more recently installed for easy access while you can still access the hidden VC ones by launching them through FBI.

Get around the 300 titles limit, use more Nintendo 3DS folders.

If your collection contains a lot of GBA VC games, consider GBAVCSM.

Um... i dunno if you still need this but sometimes it disguises as another apps, i was this close to burst into tears since i just did it with my Sister's 3ds, couldnt find the FBI app, went absolute nuts and almost deleted everything in it by accident, but then i found out it disguised as the Health and Safety information app....

Either you installed a game that has the same ID as FBI such as Noitu Love 2 or you installed too many games and it started hiding the earliest things you installed.

Uninstall a game and you'll probably get a game back

This procedure is something that is purposely done. You will know it cause you will have done it. It never disguises by itself.
