So here's my situation:
  • I installed some legit EU .cia, while I have US N3DS
  • The games are not visible on the home menu
  • But if I go to the Homebrew Launcher and launch HANS, it will appear, and the games run fine
HOWEVER

It would be pain in the ass to launch HBL then HANS, pick my games, launch, configure some options, and play my game. So I think having a HANS shortcut would be convenient.

But I don't know how to create shortcut.

After searching, there was smealum post explaining how to do it, I've tried and with my very shallow skill and my inexperience in coding (with only html knowledge from highschool), I managed to create .xml file as followed. The games appeared on the HBL, but it failed to run.

There was also HANS shortcut creator here, it also failed me because the icon doesn't even appear on my HBL

As far as my understanding, there are 3 files:
  • shortcut.xml:
    Location - /3ds
  • shortcut.smdh
    Location - /3ds
  • title.txt
    Location - /3ds/hans/title
For anyone wondering, I'm trying to make Majora's Mask and Tomodachi Life .cia to appear on HBL as HANS shorcut, as they're not appear on home menu. If you're so kind, can anyone make HANS shorcut for two games stated above?

I already have their .smdh files, and here's their title ids:
Majora's Mask: 0004000000125600
Tomodachi Life: 000400000008C400

Try this: http://jmp.sh/6TFC0ce
Copy the 3ds folder from that archive to the root of your SD card. Also don't forget to chuck your .smdh files in /3ds.

How do you get the .smdh files from (I want to do the same for Yo-kai Watch) ?
dammit quadpost.

I don't know where to get official .smdh, so I had to get my files one by one.
For Tomodachi life, I had a quick Google images and then I put the image on online smdh creator

For Majora's Mask, my google-fu failed me, but I got the smdh from the Gridlauncher theme sharing, a MM theme with matching smdh with official one, so I use that.

But if anyone has a complete pack of official smdh, it would be greatly appreciated
