Anything that enables homebrew on those systems probably circumvents "effective" copy protection under the DMCA and would thus be illegal to use or traffic in.

As far as I can tell homebrew enabling is legal, which is why Nintendo hasn't C&Ded the sites permitting it, and instead kept patching out jailbreaks.

People have been hacking their devices to run homebrew since the NES.
