Revitalize Competition: $1000 in cash prizes to win, and 2 weeks remaining to submit your Vita homebrew!
Hi there, PS Vita community!
Hopefully by now you’re aware that we’re running a huge Vita homebrew competition here at wololo.net, with $1000 in cash prizes to win.
There’s 2 weeks remaining to submit your homebrew to the contest as the deadline is September 30th, end of this month.
What is revitalize?
Revitalize is a homebrew programming competition for the PS Vita.
The cumulative value of all prizes in this competition is $1000, which will be awarded as follows:
- $400 for the best entry *
- $300 for the second best entry *
- $100 for Wololo’s favorite open source entry (this can be cumulative with one of the 2 prizes above)
- $100 for the best color emulator (think 8 bit or above, no gameboy/gameboy color)
- $100 for the best non emulator homebrew
* We have yet to determine is we will have a judge panel, or if we will be running a poll on the forums. We’re edging towards the latter.
More details on the competition can be found on the revitalize page
I see Only Emulators coming :C
I hope we will see a wagic entry
Still waiting on a Dreamcast emulator.. heck port the one on the PSP over
Just told my friends about this, and they were interested in looking into it. Wish I told them when the competition started D:
3ds emulator and vita cartridge dumper would be the best..pirates are comin
I think it should be extended one month, we haven’t seen all they’ve got.
Agreed
Those images you picked (both of them) are horrible (there is hardly any contrast, nothing “pops”). It looks like it took 3 seconds to make, then again the Wololo logo isn’t much more creative. On a side note, are people showing what they have BEFORE the contest? If so get ready for 2d “games” and pre n64 emulator ports because that’s all I can find. Isn’t it a bit early for a contest like this?
This contest was created to promote growth of the vita-hacking scene.
It might be a motivation for many developers to get into the matter.
It could potentially speed up the whole process quite much.
The fact that only so few work has been done so far proves how important this content actually is.
But I agree, they should extend it for a few weeks. And maybe spread the news about it a little more.
The images were submitted by users, if you could have done something better, why didn’t you do it then?
I submitted an image like many, MANY others did. This was a matter of preference on Wololo’s part.
I would have made something. I updated by accident.
I hope someone makes a 3ds emulator
based on the fact that even the only 3ds pc emu.(citra) can’t run any game at full speed even on a gaming pc, what kind of speed would we get on something slower such as a hand held? I just can’t see it happening yet.
hey, where is the cash prize for yifanlu for making all this possible? 😛
:(:(:(:(:(:(
After using many of the homebrew for Reyuvenate. I think too It’s better to give one or two months more time for the revitalize competition…. Some news like the RetroArch cores are very good but in a early stage. BTW, the other competitors are at the moment to save and they wait… I not saw a significant update and effort for most promising but far from perfect homebrews…
But that’s in wololos hands. I’m “only” a donator for the competition…
