	O'Reilly Network -- Inside the Homebrew Atari 2600 Scene (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		(Homebrew developers use two of the most popular emulators, z26 and Stella, to test their games.) Emulators have greatly increased the audience for homebrew games outside of those who still own the consoles.
		The 2600 was the first video game system for many gaming enthusiasts who were alive then.) The scene is competitive but friendly, where authors share their expertise, advice, and even source code with one another and with those who are looking to program their own homebrew games.
		There are only three: a text editor (many Atari homebrew game developers recommend TextPad), a 6502 cross assembler (such as DASM), and one of the aforementioned emulators (z26 or Stella) to test the code.

	Homebrew Kit
		Homebrewing typically refers to the brewing of beer on a very small scale, as a hobby for personal consumption or small scale distribution at parties or picnics.
		A typical batch of homebrewed beer is five US gallons (19 l) in volume, which is roughly enough for two cases — or 48 12-ounce (355 mL) bottles — of beer.
		Game Boy Advance's recent popularity is due to the availability of C compilers and ready-made, high-quality code libraries, and the direct gdb debugger integration for VBA (the most popular GBA emulator).

		Homebrew video games are video games written by hobby programmers.
		The term is frequently applied only on video games that are produced on proprietary game platforms - in other words, game platforms that are not typically user-programmable, or use proprietary hardware for storage.
		Since the bulk of the development of homebrew applications are done by hobbyists there developed a need to communicate with other programmers to share knowledge and ideas.

	Curmudgeon Gamer: Sony's anti-PSP-homebrew strategy? (or: jvm was wrong!)
		The homebrew hackers are driven by different goals, among them emulation, media playing, and (sadly) piracy.
		Since PSP homebrew is nowhere near as easy as having a friend burn you a CD for your Dreamcast, the official options look tempting, not just for weirdo jvm, but even for Joe Consumer.
		Not only would it give the PSP game some added life (a la downloads for Xbox 360 games), but it would make Sony look like they really do intend to use that wireless networking capability they spent so much money putting into their expensive handheld boondoggle.

	Digg - Homebrew Ipod Games Coming Soon...?
		This page is meant to document any reverse engineering of the iPod game packages (.ipg files) that function with the Apple-written iPod OS.The ultimate goal here is to enable people to write their own games for the iPod, for AppleOS.
		Well, I read an article and posted it earlier this week that homebrew games were pretty much impossible due to the lack of an SDK, but if the games are just re-named.zip files, it looks like we only have the authentication issue to get rid of.
		I myself would buy the Apple games, but I hate ITUNES with a passion which is required to install them, its total garbage, and use SharePod instead to transfer my music.

	Hackers vs Sony: the homebrew game - PSP Fanboy
		A new homebrew game by DreaDNoughT attempts to accurately chronicle the ongoing battle between Sony and the hacking community.
		Their thinking will certainly be that stopping homebrew will prevent piracy, but if they'd have allowed homebrew from the get-go there wouldn't have been such motivation to hack the firmware and there wouldn't be such a large group of users with PSPs able to run pirated ISOs.
		I own a lot of Sony products, and most if not all of them give me the feeling that Sony is not interested in making me happy; they are interested in what they think are their own concerns, not realizing that they would be best served by making their customers happy.

	PSP - Homebrew On 2.00 A Reality - MegaGames console
		This achievement marks the first time homebrew code has been run on firmware 2.00 while it opens up the door for everyone to find ways of running other user-created games and applications.
		Although the group was quick to point out that this exploit is not to be used for copying games, it is also clear that others will seek to find ways of doing just that.
		For most PSP users this is good news as the previous attempt at bypassing 2.00 security, the downgrading method showcased in a video file recently, has resulted in a dead end.

		In fact, the only barrier to burning GameCube discs with a consumer dvd burner is the Burst Cutting Area, a "barcode" in the innermost ring of the disc, an area inaccessible to most burners and writeable only by very expensive disc pressing machines.
		For a long time the only way to run homebrew software on GameCube was through a patching-system exploit of Phantasy Star Online Episode I and II, requiring users to find the game and a Broadband Adapter.
		Because the Xbox uses standard PC libraries and can execute C++ and assembly code, writing homebrew games is extremely easy, as the vast majority of commands available for a PC programmer are available to an Xbox homebrew programmer.

		The video explains it best, but if you've ever wondered, "Can I control my MIDI enabled devices with a portable gaming system?" the answer is "Yes." Use your DS(es) as a keyboard, simulated Korg KAOSS effects pad, a MIDI synthesizer and—would you believe it?—so much more.
		We're not pro-warez, but everytime a hacker figures out how to exploit a PSP to run homebrew software, we can't help but smile: homebrew is the only thing that even remotely validates the PSP as a purchase over the DS.
