About Better Gaming

Hey, I'm Yu. Better Gaming is my YouTube channel about the console hacking scene. When a new exploit or firmware drops, I break down what it actually does, which consoles it works on, and what you can really do with it, without the hype.

I test everything on my own hardware, and I make guides for custom firmware, homebrew and emulation that you can follow step by step. I've been making gaming and tech videos for over ten years.

None of this would exist without the developers of the homebrew scene, so their work gets the credit (see below).

  • Real testsWhat a modded console can actually do.
  • No piracyHomebrew, emulation, backups of games you own, and modding your own hardware.

FAQ

Is Better Gaming about piracy?

No. The channel covers homebrew, emulation, backups of games you own, and modding your own hardware. Piracy isn't supported here, in the videos or in the community.

Do I have to pay for the guides?

No. Every video and guide is free on YouTube. Patreon is optional, for people who want to support the channel.

Can modding brick my console or get me banned?

There's always some risk. Follow a guide step by step, keep a backup of your console's system, and stay offline with custom firmware unless you know what you're doing. If you get stuck, ask in the Discord or the Telegram chat before you try anything else.

Is my console hackable?

It depends on the model and the firmware version. The newest videos always say which firmware a hack works on, so check the latest one for your console first. Each of these has a status page that's kept up to date, by firmware and model: Switch 2, Switch, PS5, PS4.
