Hacking Homebrew Project BlazerTube - a YouTube 3DS revival using the REAL app!

nebulagamez · May 16, 2026

Recently, me and @idkwhereisthisname have been up to a project where we're working on reviving the actual YouTube 3DS app, using the UI seen on it from January 1st, 2014. The project is close to being ready, but right now we're about to open to testers and we're also doing optimizations for the best experience. More news to come soon!
Here's a video of it in action: https://img.idkwh.ct8.pl/vid/yt3ds.mp4 https://img.idkwh.ct8.pl/vid/yt3ds2.mp4
If you have any questions or want to discuss, feel free ^-^

I have two questions:
Can I be a tester?
Will it be compatible with YouTube shorts?

1. You can apply in the Discord https://discord.gg/Xe9stPD3pY
2. No, as the original app was not

I'll be honest who cares that we can't support creators

As a content creator, I care.

Advertisements are not good

SpaceGameJunkie · May 20, 2026

Would you give to a patreon if you liked my content?

Well that's good to know. Thank you.

@nebulagamez , when will we get the results of the form?

Does it use Invidious/yt-dlp to play videos? YouTube is notoriously shit when it comes to restricting bots and ripping, it's nigh impossible to use it without an account if not using that software.

Is that the cli tool for YouTube videos?

Yes, yt-dlp is just that, but it has been used as part of larger projects over the years. I guess that was a rhetorical question though, as I'm not aware of any way to run Python code on a 3DS (not to mention a JS runner), but who knows?
