Homebrew (video games)

An example of humebrew on the Wii called The Homebrew Channel.

Homebrew, when used in video games, are games or mods produced by hobbyists for video game consoles which are not intended to be changed to the extent homebrew gives. Official documentation is often only available to licensed developers. Many consoles have hardware restrictions to prevent homebrew.

The Wii was a target for homebrew. The Wii was originally hacked by a custom serial port interface.[1]
