This website is a true labor of love, created with one clear goal in mind: to preserve, showcase, and celebrate homebrew games developed for the original PSX. It exists thanks to passion, curiosity, and countless hours spent discovering projects made by people who still believe in the magic of that iconic grey console.
Whether you are a developer, a collector, a retro enthusiast, or simply someone who grew up with the PSX and still feels a connection to it, your involvement can make a real difference. This site is not just an archive, it’s a living space meant to grow, evolve, and stay alive for many years to come.
Most importantly, the mission of this website is to encourage people to actually play these games. Homebrew titles deserve more than being stored away or forgotten on old hard drives. They deserve attention, feedback, and a real audience. Every download, every play session, and every comment helps give these games the recognition they truly deserve.
If you enjoy the content and would like to support the growth of the site and the PSX homebrew scene, here are several simple but meaningful ways you can help:
Send New Homebrew Discoveries
If you know of a PSX homebrew game that isn’t listed on the site, We’d love to hear about it! You can send us an email at psxhomebrewgames@gmail.com with the name of the game, download links, and any useful details you may have. Every new discovery helps make the archive more complete and valuable for everyone.
If you are a developer and want to promote your own game, feel free to reach out as well. Your project can be featured alongside the rest of the homebrew catalog. Even though the news section is still under development, there is already the possibility of giving your game extra visibility through a small interview focused on your project, ideas, and development experience.
To make the process easier and more consistent, please include the following information in your email if possible:
Name of the developer(s)
Release date (month and year)
Last update (month and year)
Type of graphics (2D or 3D)
Game version (for example, 1.2)
Genre
Number of players
Are you the developer of the game?
If yes, would you be interested in a short interview about your project?
Please also include links to the game itself and to any developer social networks, websites, or profiles.
Play the Games!
Homebrew games are meant to be played, not just cataloged. Download a few titles (or even just one), try them on your real PSX or an emulator, and explore what creative developers have achieved with the hardware.
You can also leave comments on each game’s page to share your experience, report bugs, highlight interesting mechanics, or point out fun details and hidden easter eggs. Your feedback helps future visitors know what to expect and adds real value to the site. Every comment contributes to keeping these projects alive and relevant.
Follow and Support the Developers
Every homebrew game featured here is created by passionate developers who often work on these projects in their free time, usually without any financial reward. If you enjoyed a game, consider following its creator on social media, YouTube, GitHub, Itch.io, or wherever they are active.
By supporting developers, you can:
Stay informed about new versions, updates, and bug fixes
Discover other homebrew or indie projects they are working on
Show appreciation through likes, comments, and shares
Help them grow their audience and stay motivated to keep creating
Sometimes, a simple follow or kind message can mean a lot to someone working on a passion project. Supporting creators directly is one of the best ways to keep the PSX homebrew scene healthy and thriving.
Share the Website
If you like what you find here, please help spread the word. Share the website on social media, gaming forums, Discord servers, or anywhere retro gaming fans gather. A single recommendation can help someone discover a whole new world of PSX homebrew games.
The more people discover the site, the stronger and more connected the PSX homebrew community becomes.
Help Improve the Site With Suggestions and Resources
This website is constantly evolving, and your ideas can help shape its future. If you have suggestions to improve the structure, usability, or overall experience, feel free to email me at any time. I’m especially interested in:
Features you’d like to see added to the site
Useful PSX homebrew development resources (tools, tutorials, libraries, documentation)
Any ideas that could help the PSX homebrew community grow
No suggestion is too small. Every bit of feedback helps.
Additionally, if you find a broken link or something that isn’t working properly, you can leave a comment directly on the relevant game’s page. This is the fastest way for issues to be spotted and fixed.
Together, we can build a stronger, more complete, and more enjoyable home for PSX homebrew. Thank you for being part of this journey and for helping keep the spirit of the original PlayStation alive.
