My mind's boggles as to why Crash Bandicoot and Spyro are incompatible. It seems like those would be Sony's top priority with this.
Yeah, gonna rush home on my lunch break and nab a few just in case Sony puts out a patch to prevent this "unauthorized" method.
Thanks for the guide, Jim.

It's understandable some games are incompatible right now. Emulation isn't as easy as some people think, especially as the consoles to be emulated get more technologically advanced.
Maybe I'm cut from a different cloth here, but I'm more looking forward to playing new games rather than replaying old ones from 2 generations ago.
Still waiting to buy a Vita, PSOne Classics isn't enticing enough.

I mostly feel bad for MonkeyPaw. It seems as if Sony told them Tomba would work at launch.
@Flint
I doubt they would disable it, as they never disabled it for the PSP transfers, which you can still use to circumvent some games they *still* haven't added to the Vita's store.

I think I already know the answer, but... you absolutely have to use the same PSN account on both devices for the transfer to work, right? Since I share the Vita and the PS3 with someone else, we have separate accounts on the PS3, but another "shared" account on the Vita. If I bought PS1 games on my personal PS3 account, I will have to re-buy them all on the shared account, right?
Gotta love it when using bought games is harder than with pirated games...

That's understandable. Personally, I'm in the process of becoming a grumpy old fart who thinks 90% of new video games are garbage and I'm far more happier playing games of the late 90s that I have nostalgic attachments to. When doing this is officially supported through official ports, even if it requires me paying money again for the game, I'm very happy as it means I don't have to dig out my old consoles, find the old memory cards, or waste my time with illicit emulation.

Hahahahahaha! Now that is speaking my language! Makes total sense, thanks. Myself, I'm afraid to go back and play any PS1 games because I'm worried they won't be as good as I remember with my then little tyke mind.

How well are your pirated games working on your Vita right now?

@Coltrane - today's devices are about convergence. New platforms should do what old platforms could. I don't like unhooking one console to play another.
This is easier than digging up a PSX to play old games i like.

Not very well, but the temptation to just use my PSP and throw all the PS1 games on it is there...

I got Chrono Trigger and FF9 both copied over with save files working before I left work this morning.
It's sad to hear Chrono Cross isn't working but it would have been a while before I got to that title anyway.

Yeah, I'm 29 and I agree with you on wanting new games. I think I've become more into chasing trophies and achievements rather than playing old games. I don't see the point in buying PSOne or PS2 classics. Now HD remakes, i'll buy. And yeah, i realize it's kinda like chasing golden star stickers in grade school.
Kinda upset I bought a 3DS cause i heard they were adding accomplishments. Turns out it was only for Street Plaza and not the games -_-

Great... now lets all wait for Sony to release a new update for the Vita or the PS3 that disables that method.
You know its coming, they won't loose the chance to charge you several times for a game made 15 years ago.

Actually since the 4.00 patch you can install ps1 games and it'll keep the install bubble on your ps3.
Hi,
Here's 2 questions I would really appreciate having real answers to (that is, answers based on facts and not on guesswork/opinion):
- What is the REAL reason Sony is making more PSone games available in Europe than in the U.S. on the PS Vita store? Is it technical problems? Licensing problems? PSone classics are always available in Europe first, so it must be related. But I would really like to know what's going on instead of seeing every gaming blog criticise Sony without providing a clear explanation of things.
- Are PSone classics available in Europe through the PS Vita store that ARE NOT available in the U.S. PS Vita store (Final Fantasy IX for example) of the same exact quality? Perhaps one of the reasons these games are not yet available in the U.S. is that Sony's quality control has not cleared them yet? Perhaps there are some control or graphical issues with these games?
Anybody knows this? Thanks in advance!

Crash AND Spyro don't work?! The FUCK, Sony! Get your shit together! That's my whole childhood we're talking about!
But heh, if those are the only games not working and Sony eventually fixes this (I REALLY want Crash 2 on my Vita, probably Spyro 2 as well. Those games are the shit), it's not that bad.
Now if that fucking paycheck could come so I can get that Vita...

Wow, that's a lot of games that I care about from the PSOne that don't work.
Thanks for nothing, Sony.
Thanks for nothing, Sony.
Oh, and @Scuffles... I don't think so. Some PSP games are not *officially* Vita compatible (such as Patapon 3 *shakes fist*), but I hear you can still transfer them using that same method ever since the Vita launched and work fine, and Sony never prevented it.
Can we make Tommy Wiseau the stupid PS Vita news mascot? It would be soooo fitting. Hahaha what a story Mark!
For the record, Pocket Fighter has never been a game that worked on PSP. It has only ever worked on ps3.
Oh sony your crazy guys :P

Oh Jimothy, you've put a smile on my face AGAIN today and for an entirely different reason, no bodily fluids of any sort this time though, sorry.
@Estel
Right now pretty much every blog on the web is reaching out to Sony to get an explanation, and they're pretty hush about it. Kind of like they were this entire past year when asked every month about PSone Classic support.

Grats for reading the comments of your previous post and seeing I suggested the exact thing.. Jim dont ever touch anything sony again please... I'm tired of the bad press to someone who's a numbers grabber... also I hate you for holding that banana hostage..
@estel
That's the only interesting question about this. All this "thanks for nothing, Sony" nonsense only makes sense if Sony is doing this on purpose or because it is incompetent. If it is, however, doing it because of legal hurdles, then it just shows that the US isn't as open for business as it likes to claim. As of yet, we don't know either way.

While this method gets most games onto my vita, Im running into anouther problum, where when i poke a game, a black screen comes up that says to play in a well lit room and whatnot, that screen stays for a few seconds, then the game minimises in the same manner as if you hit the home/ps button(or whatever the blasted glowing blue button is called)and trying to open it again yields the same results
add these games to the list too:
-Syphon Filter 2, Syphone Filter 3
-Warhawk
-Um Jammer Lammy
-Castlevania SOtN
-Street Fighter Alpha
also did not know that you can sideload PSP games this way too!!
downloaded my GT for PSP and Burnout Legends and was able to copy to PS Vita and play!! so pumped about Burnout Legends, love that game!!
