Homebrew applications


This page gives an overview of released homebrew apps. The Twilight Hack and the new Homebrew Channel are currently the only ways to run the apps on an unmodified console. Go to the peripheral info page for a list of what Peripherals the applications support.

DO NOT add projects which have no public release. The In development section is for that.

Also this is not a place to produce your wishlist.


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 icon.png and meta.xml file for easy installation for end users.
  • There are also some Development Tools, you may need.
