What is Wololo.net?
Updated
Wololo.net is a news and release site focused on console programming, security, and homebrew software. Its own tagline names the platforms it covers: PS5, PS4, PS Vita, Nintendo Switch, and PSP. If you follow homebrew releases for those systems, or you want programming and security news about them, this is the kind of site you'd check for updates.
What the site covers
The site's stated scope is programming, security, and homebrews across the platforms listed above. In practice, its front page is organized around release announcements and news posts, so the content you'll see most often is:
- Homebrew releases — new versions of games and tools for consoles and other platforms
- Game and tool updates — changelogs describing what each new version adds
- Security and programming news — items related to the technical side of these platforms
How the homepage is organized
The homepage uses a "What's New?" style feed, listing the latest posts in reverse-chronological order. Each entry shows a title, a short excerpt, and category tags.
A representative example from the feed is a homebrew release announcement for Warnel Chawpiovs v1.7.0, which the site describes as adding an "Age of Apocalypse" expansion, a web version, support for the French language, and more. The excerpt notes the game is available for PC (with Windows, Linux, and macOS versions) and Nintendo Switch, and that it can be tried in a browser at a link on the site.
Earlier entries in the same series show how releases are documented over time:
| Version | What the post says it added |
|---|---|
| v1.7.0 | "Age of Apocalypse" expansion, web version, French language support |
| v1.6.0 | "Next Evolution" expansion, improved support for fanmade cards |
| v1.5.0 | 9 new heroes, performance improvements |
| v1.4.0 | Android support, 7 new heroes, 5 new scenarios |
This pattern — a version number, the platforms it runs on, and a short list of changes — is typical of how the site presents homebrew updates.
What you can expect as a reader
- Platform breadth: coverage spans Sony handhelds and consoles (PSP, PS Vita, PS4, PS5) alongside Nintendo Switch.
- Release-focused posts: many items are version announcements rather than reviews or tutorials.
- Category tags: posts are tagged by topic (for example, Android, Gaming, Homebrew, Linux, News, Nintendo Switch, release), which helps you filter by interest.
- Links out: release posts often point to where the software can be obtained or tried, such as a browser-playable version.
When this site is useful to you
Wololo.net is worth checking if you want a running feed of homebrew releases and related security or programming news for the platforms it names. It is less suited to someone looking for general gaming coverage, reviews of commercial titles, or step-by-step setup guides — the homepage feed is dominated by release announcements. For the latest items, the "What's New?" section on the homepage is the place to start.
