Our Story

About HoskBrew

We help indie developers bring their retro games to life on real cartridges — from prototype to production.

Born from the Homebrew Scene

HoskBrew started with a simple frustration: there was no reliable way for indie developers to manufacture professional-quality cartridges for retro consoles. The existing options were either too expensive, too slow, or produced subpar results.

So we built the infrastructure ourselves — from custom PCB designs and injection molds to a full QA lab with every major retro console. Today, we serve homebrew developers worldwide, handling everything from a single prototype to full production runs of thousands of units.

What We Believe

Our Values

Quality First

Every cartridge is tested on real hardware. Every shell is precision-molded. Every label is die-cut to exact tolerances.

Developer-Centric

We built HoskBrew because we're developers too. Every decision is made with the homebrew creator in mind.

Physical Media Matters

There's something irreplaceable about holding a cartridge, reading a printed manual, and sliding a game into a console.

Community Driven

We sponsor homebrew jams, publish RetroNomicon, and contribute to open-source dev tools for retro platforms.
