Modernized YouTube for Wii U

YouTube SR Wii U (Modernized YouTube) I'm excited to announce a mini-project I've been working on: YouTube SR Wii U! It's the familiar YouTube app, but with modern graphics. I not only updated the initial graphics displayed when you launch the app (The images are at the end of the post so you can see a preview of what I did.), but also several internal elements, such as the boot sound, etc. I'll let you discover the rest for yourself! This app is based on the latest version of YouTube for Wii U and is region-free, so it doesn't matter if you have a US, Japanese, or European console; it will all work. The app is packaged in WUP format, so you can install it like any other app or game using your preferred installer. Please leave any feedback in the comments of this post. (Note: You still need to use the GiveMiiYouTube plugin. This is a graphics update, so the code remains unchanged. I encourage you to read the README for the release on GitHub to understand everything.) GBATemp won't let me upload the file directly because it has a very low file size limit, so you'll have to go to GitHub to download it. I know it's something very simple, but I wanted to contribute to the community; for me, it's an achievement to be able to share it. Edit: Due to intellectual property reasons and to avoid future problems, I decided to remove this mod while I investigate the matter further, I will probably make the modified files available for download soon, so as not to distribute the complete application. You will need to have your Wii U modifiedI'll make a tutorial since you'll need to use FTPii to replace application files.

I had this used Wii U in August 2022 with TiramisU already installed on it, everything worked fine as I installed games from PC with a SanDisk 32GB SD card (that came with the console). I then switched to Aroma and modded the vWii.

Later I found out that I reached a memory limit (which i don't know how many GB is the maximum) within my NAND, SD, and USB drive (200GB with Y chord), if i delete some games the installer does its job normally. The already installed games generally work fine.

What I think it's the fault is that I often ejected the SD card when the Wii U light indicator was yellow (Stand-by mode), probably making the NAND go coo-coo crazy. Now I don't do that anymore.

List of things that don't go right:

Sometimes when I boot up the console it blinks once and then runs normally (very suspicious!!!!).
WUP installer freezes at a certain percentage (as I reach this invisible memory limit).
NUSspli does this thing (which I think it's related to WUP installer).
Boot to Priiloader makes the Wii U go on Wii mode but then crashes and restarts the console (even if i try using Homebrew Channel it crashes and restarts the vWii).
Some Wii U and Wii games rarely crash, making me hold the power button (but not making the typical Wii crash sound).

Things i tried to do:
