thread_title: Small amount of information about Sega Saturn

message: Why was the section covering the Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 titled "Third-generation"? Those consoles are supposed to be seventh generation consoles. I've changed it to reflect that.--Fragman52 (talk) 11:43, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Third generation?

message: Why no information about Dreamcast?  It's been one of the most popular legal homebrew platforms in recent history. —preceding unsigned comment by 12.208.7.22 (talk • contribs) 
: "Today, the most frequently used platforms for homebrew development are Atari 2600, NES, Game Boy Advance, and Dreamcast."
: First line, second paragraph. —preceding unsigned comment by Dub-c (talk • contribs) 
:: Well obviously if the user in question added it by themselves =) Anyway, if you read the article, you see that it doesn't really talk much about Dreamcast homebrews itself; The reason was that I (who wrote most of the stuff in the article) am not very well aware of most of intricacies of DC homebrew scene. I admit it's a big omission though; someone who knows a bit more about Dreamcast stuff should add a little bit to the article. Might be worth it. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 23:48, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dreamcast 

message: I felt like my brief description of the change I made in the GameCube section might be misinterpreted, so here's a bit of a clarification...
The game, Phantasy Star Online, for the GameCube, was always released as a "compilation" of Episodes 1 & 2.  There wasn't ever a GameCube title that was simply "Phantasy Star Online," as there have been for the Dreamcast and the PC.  The first GameCube PSO title was the compilation of Episodes 1 and 2.  The fix was the same compilation of episodes, just that the word "Plus" was tacked on to the title.
o.o  I hope I don't sound to horribly redundant when I say that, but I'm trying to make this perfectly clear.

message: Was there ever anything on the N64, http://www.pdroms.de/ had 37 N64 Games, and to my understanding PDRoms is mostly if not totally homebrew, so atleast some hb had been done.
Anyone have info?

message: I believe this article should be cleaned up with respect to homebrewing by generation. As it reads, there's a messy introduction that glosses over various platforms across several generations before picking up into a generation-by-generation breakdown.
Given the remarks at the head of article about the popularity of homebrewing for older systems, it seems a bit odd that the more popular homebrewing targets (e.g., Atari systems, ColecoVision, etc.) aren't remarked upon in any structured way.

message: Why does the first line say something like, "the term homebrew is used only to refer to home-made video games." This is blatantly untrue. Homebrew beer has been around for a long time before videogames. I understand that it can't be included on this page, but I was very surprised to see that there was no disambiguation page for 'homebrew'.
By the way, for the record, I'm not some beer loving nut who wants to know where his beer page is, I was simply trying to find information about the home brewing of beer.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.178.226.12 (talk) 05:55, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: It wasn't an attack, it was a statement of fact. Citation: Your last edit (and your itchy trigger finger in pointing to WP:NPA). You stated in your last edit comment that "homebrewing is not a word used in the homebrew scene". This is demonstrably false. A simple Google search of "+homebrewing games" yields ~370,000 hits. Certainly not all those hits refer to video games, but more than enough do to establish the term's use in the homebrew gaming scene. Clayhalliwell (talk) 04:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you add quotation marks to that search "hombrew games" gets 274,000 hits. "hombrewing games" gets just 120 (down to 36 with duplicates), so I think my point is valid. Fin©™ 11:17, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Hey, just want to start off by saying that I'm new to editing on here, so I'm not entirely sure about the guidelines of how articles should be written.
Anyway, I took a look through this article and noticed that the section on Eighth generation consoles (Essentially Nintendo consoles) is FAR too dense. I know that there have been many advancements recently as to the Homebrew area for said consoles, but it feels unnecessary for an encyclopedia, it feels more like it's explaining the entire history of homebrew hacking in immense detail rather than giving a summary. And although I dabble, I'm not very knowledgeable on Wii U/3DS homebrew, so I'm not sure about how to make the necessary edits. Could (and should) this section be condensed or cleaned up in any way?

message: I noticed that every time "Homebrew" was the first word in a sentence it was capitalized, which is correct. But when it was in the middle of the sentence, it was capitalized most of the time but sometimes left lowercase.

message: The lead sets up the article for being bout hobbyist-written video games for closed consumer systems. The actual article, though, is a spotty history of jailbreaking each video game console across eight generations. I'm tempted to  delete 90% of the article. Another option is to rename it to "Jailbreaking video game consoles" or somesuch, which is what it's currently about, but that sounds guidebook-like. Dgpop (talk) 15:07, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
