Alright.
So, remember bootOpera on the Wii? We could make forwarder channels to go to any site on the Wii browser. We had facebook and GMail Wii channels.
Now, the YouTube app can be used as a general web browser if you do some things to access the Google homepage.
So, we could change YouTube's banner. Edit its icon.
That's easy.
But now it gets harder.
How do we change the URL that it boots to? Sadly, YouTube's romfs is empty. I tried the US version without update and EU with update, both have no files in the romfs, sadly.
I bet it is stored in the code.bin. If we cannot edit that, we could make a custom DNS that redirects youtube.com to google.com, similar to what TubeHax did. But we wouldn't block updates/eShop access.
But where is this screen stored?
NOTE: This is not the app's banner, it is an in-game graphic
You would think this graphic would be in the romfs, but I guess it is not, since there is no real romfs.
And the last "barrier" would be the update. The app does not function without it. There is a CIA on that iso site that has the update built in, so we could base this off of that CIA.
If we can succeed, imagine the possibilities! We could make CIAs of those web browser games. For example, this game runs fun with the YT app: http://www.bouncyflappy.com/
We could have twitter, facebook, and gmail applications, too.
Any suggestions? Comments? Criticism?
@Apache Thunder @Asia81 <-- some nice devs who could look into this possibly
