The only options it's giving me are:

Delete
Rename
Copy
Paste

I downloaded Kid Icarus Uprising and Legend of korra.
It started to happen with Kid Icarus, but before that i tried to install Super Mario 3d Land but i couldn't because it said ''Failed to install cia'' (With all the games and i still don't know what to do). Then I deleted it from my sd card, so when i was going to try to intall it again it didn't show me the option.
Please help. btw i'm new here.

issue is with the CIA then. no easy way to tell if and when it got corrupted, so you should replace it.

I'm sorry, i meant it's the same with other CIAs even for some that used to show it, I erased the CIAs that i had in my SD card and tried putting them back again from the computer and Super Mario 3D Land showed me the option, but another cia that was showing it before didn't show it.
I don't know if i'm explaining myself well.

is the write-lock switch on your SD card on by any chance?

I'm actually having the same problem and the above did not help. I set everything up for the first time yesterday, everything was working fine, only problem is, I was using a 4GB microSD card to test the process, but you can't really do a lot with 4GBs, so I copied everything to my 64GB Card, everything loaded properly except the Homebrew Launcher and Luna were no longer on my homescreen, as if they were uninstalled, so I opened FBI to try to re-install and though the install files were still there, I did not get the options to reinstall them I only get the following options:

Delete
Rename
Copy
Paste

AS ToxicSlave stated earlier. I tried re-installing FBI, but I get an error, something relating to slot0X25 not setup or something, I forget, anyone else have this problem and a solution to it?

Test your SD card with H2testw, and do a full read/write check. It will take a few hours. (Backup the contents first and erase everything so it can test the whole card)

    because i didn't say i was asleep

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
