how many folders, games, badges, does he have on his home menu?

 

The titles count installed on HOME Menu does not necessarily have to match what has been played in the Activity Log.

Other than exceeding the 300 titles limit, there are three (3) causes for games to go missing.

(1) The encryption between the NAND's movable.sed KeyY and Nintendo 3DS/<ID0> subfolder do not match.

• For changed encryption only due to Format System Memory, use the CTRTransfer (Type D9) - Fix movable.sed KeyY.
• For changed encryption that involves a 3DS system that underwent System Transfer at one point, see hunting and bruteforcing for the movable.sed in Parts I and II of this guide:
  • (Very Messy Tutorial) SDTransfer: Moving or cloning a (source) system's Nintendo 3DS folder to another (target) system.

(2) The tickets are missing. This often occurs when restoring a SysNAND *.bin image made before those games were installed.

• Use faketik to restore with fake tickets.

(3) The 3DS database is damaged. Only GodMode9 can recognizes those games in Search for titles.

• Use the CTRTransfer (Type D9) - Rebuild 3DS Database.
  • For lots of installed games, go with Option (A) Quick. * NOTE: The reported install sizes will be wrong (3-4 blocks per title).
    
  • If your previously used SD card had a reported error in H2testw, go with Option (B) Full. This will determine which titles have data corruption when they fail to get dumped back into CIAs.
  • If you have your own backed up set of CIAs, go with Option (C) Manual.
• Reinstalling a game CIA will overwrite and delete whatever save progress it had. This script avoids the hassle of pulling out and restoring the saves after reinstalling the CIAs.

THINGS YOU SHOULD DO AFTER THE GAMES ARE RESTORED.

[1] You can mass unwrap the HOME Menu icons using Cthulhu.

[2] Backup the saves + extdata for all the 3DS games using Checkpoint or JKSM.

[3] For certain games like Super Smash Bros 3DS and Animal Crossing: New Leaf, these require special attention as they have something called Secure Value.
To reset (all at once) the anti-cheat save protection, delete this specific NAND file.

• [1:] SYSNAND CTRNAND/data/<ID0>/sysdata/00010011/00000000
• Be careful. Don't delete the wrong 00000000 file.

 

maybe you could've used fake tik
