Misc Youtube NDS ROM that runs on an R4

[BungeeTest]

Hello users here on the forum, how are you? This is my first interaction. Does anyone know if there is still a YouTube ROM(.nds) for Nintendo DS/DSI (or any NDS) that works?

I have an R4iSDHC and I had this idea of running Youtube on it, since Youtube for 3DS is no longer working. (I'm running on an old Nintendo 2DS)

The only one I found was this one, but reports indicate that it is no longer working (the last update was in 2016 so it is kind of expected). (by Gericom user)

Any idea?

There is no such .nds file. Why not use ThirdTube?

For the simple fact that my console isn't unlocked and I don't want to risk unlocking it just for that reason.

I don't believe so. The last one required the author to host a server to process some things, and that server was shut down.

What device are you using to type this?

Please don't say "phone".

I am using a translator

Why would you ever use a DS for YouTube? And if somebody did try, then its not going to run well. You might as well consider using a 3DS with ThirdTube.

Gericom managed to make a Youtube player for DS some time back....I don't think it works now anymore due to API changes and such. But he did pull it off. It was like 144p or something to that affect though so don't expect it to have looked good.

Is there a DSi version? Though it was only for 3DS.

No, there is no DSi version.
As the user mentioned they have a 3DS, I suggested ThirdTube.

The homebrew from Gericom doesn't work anymore because YouTube changed the API. Additionally, the API only allows requests via HTTPS. I can imagine that implementing this on the Nintendo DS is not exactly easy. He also hard-coded the YouTube URL, so there was no GUI. More details are at his GitHub. The project seems to be dead. After all, it's still quite fun to see YouTube on the DS. ThridTube is the way to go.

Ugh, this is why you shouldn't start more than one thread on the same topic.
