These homebrew apps can include save editing tools, emulators, cheats, and more. [[Custom firmware]] (often abbreviated as "CFW") enables you to use more advanced hacks that homebrew alone can't do. For example, installing games, apps, or game modifications. CFW is similar to "administrator access" on a computer: it allows you to do anything that the device is physically capable of doing, rather than being limited by whatever the manufacturer allows you to do. <div><h2>Search</h2></div> We have pages on homebrew and guides on how to do things with your consoles. <inputbox> type=search placeholder=Homebrew, problem, guide... width=70 </inputbox> <div><h2>Devices</h2></div> {{Main Page consoles}} <div><h2>Contribute</h2></div> This wiki is made by people like you and is always a work in progress. * [[Project:Accounts|Request an account]].
