Ps2!!

Dreamcast, followed closely by the PS2 which is currently my homebrew console.

I would say a PSP, but other then that, I dont know ......
Reading some of the comments, it sounds like the DC would be the best IMO

[Balthasar00]

Well, to avoid bias, this topic should be renamed to ''Greatest legal hombrew console'' Then, it would be right to praise DC as the greatest platform. As for now, looking back from 128bit era, there isn't any other system that carry that much functionality, support and potential.

PSP is a handheld, not console

Well, if you are talking about "legal" emulators, then Gamecube technically wins for having a fullspeed SNES/MD(Genesis)/NES Emulator.
All DC SNES emulators are extremely slow (even after turning off mode 7 and switching the sound to Mono), GenesisPlusDC plays most Genesis games fullspeed, but sound emulation isnt accurate. NesterDC, however, is absolutely perfect in my opinion.

But when it comes to homebrew GAMES, the Dreamcast takes the cup.

Thats good to hear. I'll have to reconsider GC. As for storage convenience, looks like both are in the same league.

Of course, Dreamcast is much easier to get homebrew running on.

Gamecube is one of the hardest.
Get SD Media Launcher.
Get GCOS.
Burn the .GCM to a Mini DVD-R (after making sure it is EXACTLY 1.35 GB).
Adjust the laser.
And presto! Smash Bros Melee running on a Gamecube in 5 Extremely easy steps!

Dreamcast cuz I have no Xbox. lol Still havent figured out how my Dreamcast works though cuz Im currently occupied w/ my DS and Wii. I got the Dreamcast from a raffle and hardly played it cuz i got no games and i had only one controller.

[Zense]

The question should've been "What's the greatest in your opinion"

I'd say the xbox because of Xbmc
