Wololo.net turns 5 years old, and I have presents for you
Seven years ago, I bought a refurbished PSP and made my commute to work less boring. One year later I had become a pretty hungry consumer of everything the psp scene could give me: exploits, CFW, downgrades, emulators, homebrews, open source code to look at… everything felt extremely interesting to me. Shortly after that, I decided it was time for me to try to give back to the scene, and in 2008 I set up this blog to talk about the progress on my very own homebrew Wagic, an ambitious PSP project for a game with an AI, based on a famous Trading Card Game that shall not be named.
Five years later, this place is unofficially known as “the” PSP and PS Vita scene site.
This anniversary is an impressive and humbling milestone for me. Wololo.net has evolved a lot depending on my own interests, but also the readers of the blog. This site wouldn’t be what it is today without some of my decisions, but more importantly it wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you, the community. I kinda sound like any website trying to make a typical PR here, but I really mean it. Some of you have been around for as long as me, and it’s heart warming to see you still stick around.
So, this month, I’ll try to make this anniversary a lot about me and a lot about you: a lot about me because I’ll probably be writing a few “history” articles about this site and myself, and a lot about you because I’ll be giving away presents throughout the month. To be honest, my dream would have been to give away a “secret” VHBL release based on an exploit I own to a few “winners” of some sort of contest, but I didn’t find the time to work on that. Instead, I’ll be having a few PSN Codes giveaways for the next few weeks, and, who knows, maybe a bit bigger present towards the end of the month.
I’ll start right away with two US $20 PSN Codes:
- One $20 psn code to a random one of our Twitter followers who retweets this tweet.
- One $20 psn code to a person chosen randomly among those who reply to this thread on /talk: Just say how and when you were first introduced to the PSP/Vita scene 🙂
Winners for both codes will be chosen at the end of the week, and we’ll have more gifts after that!
I got a psp and a vita… I love em – I google … then I found this site n’ lovin’ it
I got introduced to the scene when I was looking around the internet for some PSVita hacks.

felicitations,
for the last three year you give me some good time with your site, and some good help for vita hbl. i can more enjoy my vita, merci 😉
thanks wololo
I was introduced to the PSP scene at the very start as I got my PSP with firmware 1.50 installed it so I was there as it evolved. I’ve seen lots of homebrew and lots of CFWs. I saw the rise and death of Dark_Alex.
I’ve made my own homebrew and ran lots and lots of homebrew.
I’ve even got banned for life from a few forums and I’ve stood up for you bastards on one occasion and I killed a forum for you people.
I’m still around doing my thing and doing it well. Mainly in person jobs these days and everyone I do a job for is happy with my work. Nothing of what I do gets released online anymore as I got so much abuse none of you deserve my work.
Nobody knows what I do anymore which is good. I bet some of you still use my homebrew as I released it under another name and someone stole it and released it under their name and they’ve taken all the credit for it but I’m still happy its getting used.
So, I’ve been in the PSP scene since the start and still going. I dont know anyone else that’s been in it as long as me and still going.
Oh I didn’t say, I’ve saw the rise of this site too. I didn’t join at the start but I knew of it and visited it a few times.
I first got introduced to this site July 20, I was lucky enough to be just in time for the legend of robot 2.12 VHBL. I’ve heard the name wololo be used in videos about jailbreaking ps vitas and I picked the rigbt time to google it. I really like this site not only because the jailbreaking and homebrew but bow there are posts about upcoming games and systems and the great community
The worst of all posts the more you delete my regular posts the more i will will write back to you making that nerve in your brain react.
