So this is kind of a long story:

A while ago I did the CTRTransfer method to recover my console from a softbrick, and in the process I wiped my Mii data as per the instructions on 3ds.hacks.guide. After I recovered my Miis through a backup I made, I had an issue where I couldn't edit the Miis I made because I disabled copying on them prior to the CTRTransfer, so I had to change my personal Mii's system ID with a hex editor (keep in mind that I'm still a noob with those) and then use the 3DS Mii Editor to reclaim my Miis with my Personal Mii's new system ID. This worked wonderfully, at first.

After that I was at the Activity Log, and I noticed that the icons for my title disappeared and I had to play through each app to recover them. I barely use the Activity Log but I still want to fix this anyway as it was nice to look through all the games I played over the years. I suspect that changing my Personal Mii's system ID had to do with the issue, hence the beginning of this post.

BTW, before some of you bring up this thread: yes, I read that already, but the OP did a system transfer and I didn't; I only have one console, and less than 300 titles have been logged in the Activity Log IIRC. I am also wary of the solutions in that thread because of my differing circumstances. I would appreciate a solution to this strange dilemma...maybe I have to do some hex editing with the Activity Log data and replace the old system IDs there with the new one, but idk where to start lol.

Have you played over 300 titles? cause thats how many gets stored before they start disappearing from there.
