Homebrew, when used in the context of video games, refers to unofficial software produced by hobbyists for proprietary video game consoles, which are not intended to be user-programmable. The official documentation for many video game consoles is often only available to licensed developers, and these systems may use storage formats that make distribution difficult, such as ROM cartridges or encrypted CD-ROMs.
