HomeMenuEditor3DS is a PC tool that helps you rearrange your 3DS Home Menu. You can:
- Move titles in the main menu.
- Move titles into or out of folders.
- Create and rename folders.
- Sort titles by name, ID, genre, or publisher.
User guide
Preparation
Use FBI to get launcher.dat and savedata.dat:
- Go to ext save data, choose the Home Menu title ID, copy the Savedata to your SD card.
- Do the same for launcher.dat, except going to Go to system save data instead.
Optional: Use SMDH dumper to extract smdh files from installed titles and put them in icondata. there are already some icons there.
You can also use the python script to extract smdh files from decrypted cia files. it works in most cases.
How to Use
Put both dat files in the app directory and launch it.
Make sure to back up your DAT files first. Although there is a low chance this can cause damage, it's better to do this. the worst that can happen is you reset your home menu layout and folders.
You should see your home menu layout. Click on a title to select it, then click on another title or an empty slot to swap.
Click on a folder to open its contents. you can swap titles here too.
Save and check the changes. you only need to save when swapping. sorting, creating or renaming a folder saves automatically.
Now move the files back to your 3DS and copy them from the SD card using FBI. just go back to the previous directories and paste.
Restart your console and you should see the changes.
