2 daily questions in one day, hey lets be extravagant, the homebrew scene on most consoles are years old now and only the wii which has been cracked fully for homebrew in the last year is considered new, consoles like the pandora and wiz are still not here and so the homebrew scene across many consoles may not be thriving as much, for the consoles you own do you still play homebrew on them or have you left homebrew behind until the next big thing.

Gonna be interesting to see how many have for the time being lost interest and moved on.

Do You Still Homebrew?

After my Friends and familiy, my girl and unborn child, Homebrew is my life! i hope that i can learn c++ so i can program my own homebrew game! homebrew is the real freedom of the consoles!

its like if you got a laptop and were not allowed to install linux on it, cuz its only a vista computer.... homebrew to the rescue! not so good example, but think if the laptop was a console, and the operating system was your boot2 or your ps3/psp firmware... all of them will void your warranty if they found out... thats not freedom,
but hey...who cares, i rather fix my own things....

i just dont believe in corporations, dont like them never will

For sure.

I love homebrew on DS. It makes it into such a more powerful machine, and I use it all the time for videos, music, internet, writing, games, etc.

Not so much the homebrew games (with the exception being PSPRevolution, the DDR clone), but I frequently use homebrew applications (such as alarm clocks, internet radio streamers, and the like) and various emulators on the Wii and PSP.

Still using the homebrew especially the alarm clock and the emulator.

Just recently got a Wii, so I'm digging on big-screen emulators for my old SNES faves.

Still running SNES and GBA emulators on my PSP, as well as my old converted PSX games--I just love being able to take Final Fantasy IX and Parasite Eve I and II with me on long flights.

All the time on Wii for SNES, GENESIS etc. Sometimes on PSP, mostly just for CPS1 and 2.

I mainly use emulators on my PSP, but I am currently making a Sonic game for the PSP, Sonic Dash. It's coded in lua and once it's done, hopefully it would give Lua a new face and would influence other coders to try it out and actually make something useful with it and not just crappy portals or whatever.

ironically, I just got a slim and light PSP two days ago just for that same reason (extra memory) - so yeah, I'm still doing it :)

Yes, most on my PSP and my Xbox 1, and a little bit on my Wii. And hopfully in the near Future on the DSi :-)

I still use my modded Xbox. :)

My Dreamcast died again (GD drive died), so I haven't been playing homebrew on that as of late. :/

I was more into emulation, until I got into homebrew, and actually coming into it a bit late, I could honestly say yes I do still homebrew and I just want more and more. Lots of cool stuff out there.
