faketik is a program to install fake tickets for titles that are installed but lack a ticket. This would make games and applicatons re-appear on the HOME Menu in the event that tickets are deleted such as a System Transfer.

Manually

QR codes for FBI

Usage

Start faketik from the Homebrew Launcher. It will search for all titles without a ticket, then generate and install a ticket for each one.

Issues

No titles appeared or were fixed

The most likely reason for this is that the system does not know that the title exists.

If a Nintendo DSiWare title did not appear, this is likely due to an old CTRNAND image being restored, which means an older /dbs/title.db file was restored that does not contain the DSiWare title's information. The easiest method to fix this is to back up saves from TWLNAND, delete, and re-install the titles.

"The External Title Database is not available."

This happens because title.db does not exist where the Nintendo 3DS is attempting to load it (/Nintendo 3DS/{id0}/{id1}/dbs/title.db). The database must be restored or re-built. Tools to perform this easily don't exist yet, so it has to be done somewhat manually.
