Some examples in the thread include people running Rare N64 titles not on the Virtual Console, likewise DS games. Though the original poster on NeoGAF is careful to highlight that you can simply backup games that you own, the channel and related tools do allow people to run ROMs through an existing Virtual Console game we've seen similar things on the 3DS. There are also tools for creating backups of your games, which is where things get sticky. In terms of what the 'channel' can do, some of the arguably less harmful uses include a tool to use any 'USB compliant' controller on the system, such as the PS4's DualShock 4. Just as on 3DS, however, frequent system updates mean that those that seek to use it will likely be lagging behind soon enough. A Wii U Homebrew Channel, of sorts, has been pulled together - it's not the first Wii U homebrew workaround by a long shot, but in its current form is certainly the most durable while functioning on the current firmware.
As a result it's a very niche area, albeit with some quirky tools such as someone running Windows on a 3DS, just because they can.Ī similar state of affairs is now underway on Wii U.
The homebrew scene on 3DS has been in a constant dance with Nintendo, with regular system updates often forcing those that want to use unofficial apps to run outdated firmware and lose the ability to play games online.
