Whilst on my sickbed (damn cold) i thought about whats needed for homebrew on each console from a newcomer/newbie point of view, basically only the minimal amount needed to run homebrew on all the consoles we cover with links to related sites and the products needed.
Check out our The Complete Guide to Whats Needed for Homebrew on Each Console.
This is really helpful, I was always thinking about the other consoles but right now I've got to get to class. Blegh.
I just though I'ld steel the first post, kewl guide, hope you get better soon, Oh damn! He got here before me.:mad:
I thought you were gonna wait for a bit after posting this in staff first to make sure to fix problems with it, especially your definition of 'homebrew' (which should be chagned to a definition of CONSOLE homebrew, as it completely ignores what the spirit of homebrew is: doing it yourself, and the fact thathomebrew can refer to PC software).

Also, above is a fairly well trusted online retailler that has saturn modchips.

Awesome. This is very helpful.
This is helpful and good
This is very helpful, but missing a section under GC homebrew.
SDLoad+Action Replay+Gamecube SD Reader (official or SD Gecko) can also run homebrew (snes emu and nes emu support sdload and most .dol files {.dol files are gamecube readable .iso (not the illegal kind) or .exe formats}). You can also us the PSO exploit (must use the original PSO, original only has the security flaw you are looking for) can load almost everything homebrew for GC completely unmodified.
Also, there are a few gamesave exploits that can be used on Xbox to boot homebrew code. You don't neccesarily need a modchip. TSOPing is also a way to mod without using a chip. Just FYI.
no mention of xbox softmods! the free(ish) and easy mods for the xbox! tsop flashin is an a$$ for noobs
well then pspupdates is a toolbox :p, anyways nice guide, people who are just getting into the world of homebrew should find this useful :)Quote:

Like for PS2 you can use memory card exploints to run emu's for GBA, Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo besides running Divx movies and such. OK and thens there's the Xbox. Soft modding an Xbox is so damn easy and you can run all kinds of emu's. Anything from arcade games all the way up to N64 and PS1 and the Xbox Media Center is amazing. Hell you can run Linux on Xbox. So before you call that "The Complete Guide To Homebrew" please check your sources. If you'd like email me and I'll give you any helpful info you want on softmodding on PS2 and Xbox.
Very helpful! :)
You can run linux on ps2 and gc as well and one time the dc was in for a linux system too.Quote:

For the most part its cheaper and less risky, once you obtain a copy of your eeprom there is really no way to mess up your xbox software beyond the point of repair.
