Homebrew applications
| This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Navarr (talk | contribs) at 02:12, 1 June 2008. It may differ significantly from the current revision. |
This page gives an overview of released homebrew apps. The Twilight Hack and the new Homebrew Channel (in development) are currently the only ways to run the apps on an unmodified console.
Note to developers
- It is important to include a video auto detect routine and a way to return to the loader or restart. Go to the Developer Tips page for more information.
- With the release of the Homebrew Channel please include an image and meta.xml file for easy installation for end users.
