Xbox was great back in the day. Well, it still is, still use mine. The fact that it was basically a mini pc in a custom box (and was easy to hack) really helped it along.

I need to update Coinops, but it's amazing.

Everything Wii has, but runs better, except PSX and N64, those have been stunted thanks to a lack of dynarec cores.

Unfettered access to the entire Nintendo lineup minus the 3DS and Switch? The Vita needed that homebrew to even be relevant.

Okay? That's nice? *Shrug* At least it's easier to hack a Wii U than a 360 or PS3. Don't get me started on Switch, it's easily the worst in terms of hacking user-friendliness.

So, you mean to tell me that homebrew to allow an MSD card on an otherwise proprietary console beats out a massive retro library? K then

I don’t necessarily think they’re mutually exclusive. I think having a good overall experience is important. Everything from the variety of software available, to the controls and if it’s a portable, how comfortable it is to use.

No point having great homebrew on a shit system.

Wii can't even play most MAME or Arcade games thanks to its paltry RAM limitations, but Wii U can, hmm...

retro library beats homebrew. yes. but thats because a big company backs it. the whole point of homebrew is what people like me and you can do.

Wow, you're really on a roll today, thanks for the heads up, I should contribute to this discussion more often!
And here I thought you were being a smarmy, silly me!

Edit: Forget it, I'm done. :cry:

To some extent. Having to forego the game slot just to use a standard in storage seems counter intuitive.. Don't you think? There's a couple things that are cool. Is it really what the average Joe looks for in "homebrew"? Not usually. They look for emulators and ports. So Xash, Quake, Doom, etc are fun on the Vita. Great in handheld. I just feel like we still haven't quite seen the full extent of the system. So, for me? It sits nowhere near the top.

XBOX is best because of the variety I would have loved one of those 128MB and 1.4GHz Modded Consoles back in the day and throw in one of the Extender Case Mods x3/x5 HDDs. An X3 Control Panel and Xecuter 3 Modchip that I have.

I have since removed my Xtender x3 Mod and just bought a larger drive and my XBOX is 1.6 No RAM upgrade for me.

It meant I could play games in the same room as my family, when the main TV was in use. So I didn’t have to slink off to the office to play games.

And this is where the Switch's idea came from

lets agree to disagree. but sd2vita is very easy to use. loads of guides online. im sure people in china have made some bucks out of them.

Wii U has plenty of home-brew, or are we being sarcastic?

And hell no, I love the Wii-U.

Well, they are different in their own ways. While the Wii U can use GameCube iso’s thanks to Nintendont. It can’t use original GameCube Discs, or for that matter, controllers without an adapter.

Plus, the obvious one, they are different architectures. Which makes them discreet, independent systems and not everyone will own both of them.

I didn't know the wii u couldn't read gamecube disks.Are there wii's that dont have GC support?

leon315 · Apr 21, 2019

For me PS3, you can literally play all videos/blurays, load ps1-3 games and have Retroarch, the most complete home console ever

CORE · Apr 21, 2019

Wii U is still untapped! That the bloody problem. Please Help me I need some BrU for my WiiU.

How is the switch harder than an xbox 360?Xbox 360 for only backups you had to take it apart and flash the dvd drive.If you wanted homebrew you had to open it up and solder pins.

What is the best console to have homebrew on, and why?

What is it?

Wii

Wii U

Switch

3ds

PS2 (FreeMcBoot)
