Select Titles and navigate to your missing game
On the top screen you should see TitleID:<16 digit number>, write this number down
Close FBI and Launch PKSM
Press X to open settings and select Misc. -> Title IDs
- Note: some of settings can only be navigated with the touch screen
Select the game you wish to add and enter 0x(16 digit TitleID) in the text box
Tap OK and exit out of settings
Tap on "VC Games" and your title should now be present
- If your save does not appear in the menu, restart PKSM

Launch PKSM
Press X to open settings and select Misc. -> Extra Saves
- Note: some of settings can only be navigated with the touch screen
Highlight your game from the menu, press A, then press A again on your game to add a save
Navigate to your game save and select it, you should now see your game save on the list
Exit out of settings and press Y to switch to absent games, your save should now be present
- If your save does not appear in the menu, restart PKSM
