Internet Browser
Study legacy TLS, page formats and a constrained compatibility gateway.

Scope and method
One console. Several separate research problems.
The Browser, YouTube, Badge Arcade and online games do not share one magic fix. Each service needs its own protocol research, legal boundary and recovery plan.
Research areas
Each line is tracked independently.
YouTube
Map the retired application endpoints and test lawful media in formats the console can decode.
Current focusEndpoint researchResearch
Badge Arcade
Research authorised catalogues while protecting existing badge extdata before every test.
Current focusData safetyResearch
eShop & Theme Shop
Explore a legal homebrew-only catalogue; commercial Nintendo content is out of scope.

Online Games

Provider policy
How fallback is intended to work
- 1
Check the selected provider
Use Pretendo when the requested feature is supported and reachable.
- 2
Explain the gap
Never switch silently. Show which exact feature is unavailable and why.
- 3
Offer an explicit fallback
Let the user opt in to Slime infrastructure for that feature only.
- 4
Keep rollback available
Restore the previous configuration without reinstalling the system application.
Non-negotiable boundaries
- No commercial CIA catalogue or scraping of copyrighted game archives.
- No distribution of Nintendo applications, keys, certificates or console secrets.
- No claim that a prototype revives every region, version or feature.
- No silent replacement of Pretendo or Nintendo Network configuration.
