;Brick
:A console that is no longer working due to damaged hardware or an error with the internal software/filesystem. Usually the fault of the owner. Sometimes recoverable through special means.
===C===
;C
:An object-oriented language homebrew developers program in, essentially an upgrade to C. Applications built in C++ can, for the most part, use all the same libraries that C programs can use.
;[[ELF]]
:The Executable and Linkable Format (formerly named Extensible Linking Format), is a common standard file format for executable files.
;Exploit:A piece of software/code that takes advantage of a bug, glitch, or vulnerability in the target system to execute arbitrary code. In the case of proprietary game consoles, an exploit allows the execution of unofficial homebrew software on the system. ===F===
;Firmware
:Fixed low-level code written directly into a programmable chip. The bootloader that loads the PS3 hypervisor or that loads up the memory card screen on the PlayStation are examples of firmware. High-level applications like the Wii Channel Browser or DS menu are ''not'' firmware.

;ISO
:An ISO file is a exact digital copy of an optical medium, such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or UMD. It usually has the exact capacity of the data stored on-disc at an uncompressed size, so can often be compressed to a smaller file. The name comes from the ISO 9660 standard, the file format used on CD-ROMs.
