gm9-title-fixer is a script intended for consoles where applications installed to the SD card are missing from the HOME Menu but appear normally in System Settings -> Data Management -> Nintendo 3DS -> Software. If the apps are grayed out and have Xs on them, use faketik to restore them. The script scans all of the installed titles installed on the SD card and deletes any that are missing or malformed, as they cause issues with the HOME Menu. It also has the functionality to verify the integrity of every installed title.

What You Need

• The latest release of gm9-title-fixer (the y_title_fixer.firm file)

Instructions

Section I - Prep Work

1. Power off your console
2. Insert your SD card into your computer
3. Copy y_title_fixer.firm to the /luma/payloads/ folder on your SD card
4. Reinsert your SD card into your console

Section II - gm9 Title Fixer

1. Press and hold Y, and while holding Y, power on your console. This will launch the Title Fixer script
2. Press A to unlock SysNAND (lvl1) writing, then input the key combo given
   • If the permissions are not given, the script will still run but will not delete titles. You will have to manually delete them using the info from the log, or run the script with the permissions given in standard mode.
3. Select "Quick Test" and press A
   • The script will scan your titles and find any with missing data, prompting you to delete them, and attempting to show the information for them on the top screen. They will need to be reinstalled if you want to keep them.
   • If the script doesn't find any, it likely can't solve your issue. The verification test is unlikely to fix the issue either, and would take a very long time to run in most cases.
4. Once the script completes, select exit and press A to exit, then press B to restart the system
5. Your applications should reappear on the HOME Menu

If your apps still do not appear, ask for help in the Nintendo Homebrew Discord in #3ds-assistance-1, tell them you followed this guide, and send the log file located at /gm9/out/title-fixer_log.txt (don't send a screenshot of the file's contents).
