Amazon deal: 3 vita games for the price of 2  

February 21, 2012 in PS Vita | 11 comments

Amazon have a cool launch offer for the Vita in the US: buy 2 games, and get the 3rd one for free. The following games are part of the promotion: Uncharted Golden Abyss, Rayman Origins, Lumines, Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3, hot shots golf, Wipeout 2048, Fifa, BlazBlue, Modnation Racers, Dungeon Hunter, Little Deviants, Asphalt, F1 2011, Michael Jackson the Experience, and Ben 10 Galactic Racing.

The promotion applies to the cheapest of the 3 games, which means worst case scenario, a 30$ discount. Not bad, especially since half of these games look pretty good :)



…And we’re still good to go on 1.61  

February 21, 2012 in PS Vita, VHBL | 37 comments

As confirmed earlier by Teck4, VHBL still seems to work fine on vita’s firmware 1.61. I say “seems” because testing this is very difficult.

VHBL still works on the 1.60 firmware  

February 16, 2012 in VHBL | 82 comments

Today I updated my Vita to 1.60 and could confirm that HBL for the Vita still works as of firmware 1.60 (assuming the game itself hasn’t been patched). A few days ago, Teck4 had confirmed on Twitter that his exploit still works on the most recent firmware. Read the rest of this entry »

I’m in China for a business trip, and I randomly found a Seven Eleven convenience store that was selling Magic cards. I thought it would be an interesting souvenir :)

I don’t speak Chinese though, below is the rare card I got in that booster, anybody know what it is, or what it does?

Server issues

If you tried to visit wololo.net yesterday or today, you might have ran into issues. The site was down for more than 12h over the past 48h. I’m investigating the root cause. The FBI or Sony are not taking us down as far as I know :)

Vita HBL, how the release will happen  

February 3, 2012 in VHBL | 107 comments

As the release of the PS Vita in the US and the EU gets closer, I’m getting an increasing amount of requests from people about HBL on the vita. I did post a FAQ a few weeks ago, but people still seem to have questions. When will it be released? Will it allow to run PSP isos? Will it work with a demo like for the patapon 2 exploit? Does it support this or that homebrew? etc…

Let me try to answer some of these questions, with more up-to-date answers. Read the rest of this entry »

Humble Bundle going Android: pay whatever you want for 4 quality games  

February 1, 2012 in Gaming, release | 6 comments

For those who don’t know, the idea of the Humble Bundle series of indie games is to let you pay the price you want for a group of high quality independent video games. The offer is usually limited in time (it lasts only a few days), and is a great deal. This time, the Humble Bundle people decided to give some love to mobile gamers. The games are cross platform (Android, Linux, Mac, Windows), without DRMs (you can install them on as many machines as you want)…

Most popular Homebrews in January 2012  

January 30, 2012 in Homebrew, Top 10 | 12 comments

A few months ago I introduced /downloads, a homebrew database dedicated to organizing the homebrews that can be downloaded on my server, as well as external links. You can rate the downloads as well as add your own homebrews, it’s free and doesn’t even require a login.

I haven’t blogged about PSP homebrews in a while, but it’s great to see the trends of votes, and I decided it would make sense to blog about the homebrews people like, in case your PSP had been collecting dust recently and you’re looking for new stuff to try, or if you simply want to discover some hidden gems. Here are the highest rated homebrew games for the month of January 2012, in reverse order to preserve the tradition of a countdown:

New Hacking discovery could open up remote play for Vita  

January 28, 2012 in Gaming, PS Vita, PS3, security | 12 comments

Note by Wololo: Thanks to guest blogger Justin Taylor for this article. This is the first time an article in this blog is not written directly by me, if you guys like this it might happen again :)

When the PlayStation Vita came out, everyone was excited about the remote play option. Who wouldn’t like being able to play Mortal Kombat on the Vita anywhere in the house? But, Sony blew it on this feature. The Vita has remote play, but it can only be used on some less than exciting games, like Bejeweled. However, a recent series of Youtube videos and some other players online have found a way to hack the Vita, opening it up to many other PS3 games. No one is sure if the hack is real[Note by wololo: between the time this article was written and the time it was published, the hack was proven to be real, and tutorials can easily be found to test it by yourself], but this can mean a lot for the hacker community if it’s real.
