Nice job all involved!
I'll give the 'full' version a test later, but will probably end up using the 'lite' version if I decide to keep it on my system.

What does it do?

I put the romf folder in the appropriate title id folder and enabled game patching but the nintendo zone app still says the service has been discontinued. Am I missing something?

edit: Nevermind. I launched the nintendo zone app from the titles list using fbi and got satellazone working. Nice!

But it still wont launch from the nintendo zone icon. Any suggestions?

What does it do?

From what I can tell it's just nintendo zone self-contained on your 3DS, as all the videos and files it uses are on your SD card and it doesn't access any online 3DS content (maybe in future updates?). Videos are not available with the lite version, so get the full version for max enjoyment of how nintendo zone used to be.

I believe if you have a EUR or JPN version of Nintendo Zone Viewer ROM. It can be launched from the home menu.
It’s nearly impossible to find the rom for it, because no one has dumped the rom for each region. So good luck trying to find that rom.

You're not worried about getting in trouble?? iirc theirs full episodes of tv shows in that....

Double checked, You may wanna take out the entire first episode of pokemon that you have inside of this! Very cool project otherwise!! - side note, that video compression is pretty nice lol

I tested it on a USA 3DS. But I have a Japanese 3DS with cfw too so can I dump the nintendo zone from that using godmode9 and then put it on the USA 3DS?

OP should use https://www.pokemon.com/el/episodios-pokemon/ as these are open to the public and could just use the video URL in case is supported

If it doesn’t have English for it, we won’t be able to put those latest episodes into our revival.

Ok then. At least the GitHub link has a license so that the team and I don’t have to worry. Edit: nvm I’m dumb. The license was to say that no one should copy the project and think that they actually created it before us. I think the team will think about it.

Welp, that's certainly a thing I could contribute to I guess.

The episodes are available in English, is just that my browser automatically redirects me to the spanish episodes haha sorry. Google "Pokémon TV" and you should be redirected to the English Episodes.
