I found a micro sd that i though I lost that is full of games so I updated luma and other things and it works but all games arent working I know its because the tickets arent there so quick question

Is there a way that I can Install those missing tickets or the fastest way is to redownload everything ?

old sd card, gray titles, incorrect tickets . . . such a pain, i am sure re-downloading/installing the games is the simplest way to go about it . . . although if you want to save them (and other data on the sd card . . . saves perhaps) @TurdPooCharger can help

Read this thread about unrecognized or not working games. Let us know if you see X's marked on titles or not.

If you haven't formatted the console since you used that MicroSD (so the encryption keys are the same), it is possible to recover the games.
It might be a bit of a pain though. For the games that are from a proper eShop dump (downloaded with FreeShop, CIAngel, FunkyCIA2 or similar) it's possible to generate .tiks that can then be installed with FBI. For the ones that are converted from cartridge, or made with PlaiCDN or another tool that doesn't make proper eShop dumps, you need the original CIA you installed, and some way to extract the tik out of it as simply reinstalling the CIA will work but will wipe the save data. No idea how you would extract the tik out of a CIA though.

I recently had some games missing after I had to do a ctrtransfer, and for some reason the tickets for some games were missing in the ctrtransfer ticket backup. What I ended up doing was editing the hosts file in my router to add the title key site to DNS so I could use TIKDevil/tikShop on my 3DS to reinstall missing tickets, and then I ran tikSweep, which sorted out the missing games I had. But this is kind of a pain as it required messing with the router file system over SSH editing config files and was only possible due to my router having CFW (AsusWrt Merlin)
The better way would probably be to run a local DNS server on my PC, which has the hosts edit on it, but in my case that would have taken much longer and probably been more effort.

    even at "uncensored" home releases they still show no nipples with few, rare exceptions
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    It makes it seem cool, that's why smoking

    comercials were banned here in the 90s.
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even ecchi manga dont show nipples nowadays
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I'm reading several that do atm. x'D
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even it looks cool, i still hate smoking and i always hated smoking
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    They're seinen though.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    But yeah, it also has to do with the fact that stuff are more sexualised

    now
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    even at seinen i am reading, the only one that shows nipples sometimes is Oversized Sextet
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Like, Urusei Yatsura, I love the manga and the original anime.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    In the original rumiko takahashi works, nudity was common
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    i still havent read the manga. also surprisinly i like both the new and the old anime adaption.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Lum being topless and Ranma always topless when turning female wasn't sexual
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also the old anime adaption of Urusei Yatsura had more fanservice than the manga
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That's one of the issues I have with ecchi stuff recently, it focuses too much on the sexual aspect, not the comedy effect.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    The manga had it's fair share.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    I mean, Lum was supposed to be a one time character
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    ecchi anime focusing too much at fanservice was always a thing
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Rumiko Takahashi got so much fan email about the character that she brought her back in the manga, it was going to be completely different originally (with the alien of the week type).
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
    also i m a takahashi fan and i love ranma
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    There are different ways of fanservice
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    the first manga I bought, was Psychic Academy, when I was like 12?
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    That was good 2000s ecchi
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Great plot too
  • Vetusomaru @ Vetusomaru:
