I don't doubt that Sony is working their butts off to make PS1 games work on the Vita... so they can charge you for them again.
Oh man, finally some progress. I've been itching for Metal Gear Solid on that delicious screen since launch.
They need to be working on PS2 Classics for Vita. Sorry, there's just no good excuse not to have those available eventually.
Always find it sorta funny that people point at homebrew and all they ever shout is piracy or "why would you want to play old games on a new system"..... Then you have big companies investing hundreds of thousands into emulating old games on new systems so they can sell you those old games again.
I'd be willing to bet that a decent percentage of the people who scoff at homebrew and emulation have probably dropped cash on PS1 titles.... tiles they probably already own....

Ohemmgee I actually played that game.
And you'd think it could be as simple as transferring your PS1 data from your PS3 to your Vita, but it seems we may have to buy them again :(
Kinda dumb, but oh well. If they provide them, I'll be downloading Silent Hill, Crash Team Racing and most likely a Final Fantasy title.

Yeah, there are some things I'd like to say, but I'm not up to being "that guy" right now. ^_^;

Does anyone know if the Psone Classics that I've played on my PSP would be compatible with a Vita, if you are able to transfer them?
i cant wait for ps1 games on vita, ive got final fantasy 5,7 and 9 to play and resi 1,2 and 3 but im far more likely to play them on a handheld
Its hilarious that "the hackers" can do stuff like this faster and for free.
Psone/ps2 games and cheaper memory cards Sony (or, *gasp*, some on-device memory!). That's all you have to do to sell me.

If this is something they have to work on with each individual PS1 game then I can see them dropping the ball somewhere by not having certain games be compatible.
So long as I can play Suikoden, Breath of Fire IV, Vagrant Story and Um Jammer Lammy on my Vita I'm golden.

SONY=ZION.
anyways, maybe they should have started "working hard" on this sort of thing prior to the release of the Vita.
Good thing i like Disgaea, otherwise my Vita would never get fondled.

"Hopefully we get the feature soon. I've been desperate for a reason to use my Vita and I've had a hankering for some old Final Fantasy. This would scratch both itches."
I agree with this wholeheartedly.

I have to ask,
Is it really that hard to emulate games from a 16 year old console on a MUCH more powerful portable?
I'm going to admit right now that I don't know much about how emulation works so I apologize if this ignorant, but this is unacceptable.
Sony should of had this ready at launch, but they're pulling the same shit Nintendo pulled when the abysmal internet browser and eShop weren't available at launch.
And Buzz Lightyear of Star Command? REALLY? That's the first game you decide to release on there! Why not Chrono Trigger (a SNES port I must remind you!) or at the very least one of the RE games.
I really, really hope the Vita picks up steam like the 3DS did. I love my 3DS and PSP to death and my wallet is craving I spend its money on some over priced tech once again.

You know, I remember this time last year people all about the then-NGP were making fun of those taking advantage of 3DS's backward compatibility.
Now some of them seem hopeful for the chance to just play a PSOne game.
Nothing against PSOne games, mind you. I just remember people telling me Vita was going to do everything better and not need to rely on older content to get by.

Doesn't the Vita play downloadable PSP games? Anyone who took part in the PSP hacking scene knows that their PSOne games were just straight PSX games ran through their POPS emulator software. You could convert any old game into a PSP-compatible game and it would run pretty flawlessly. What really is the hold-up here?
Why the FUCK wasn't this here at launch. Why is it missing a feture that the PSP fucking had. I want to play some free Silent Hill but no it won't work.... Assholes.
Also get Gitaroo Man Lives on PSN. I want to play that on my Vita too.

I think what I'm more concerned about is the fact that they have "no plans at this time" to bring on PS2 games on the thing. I would've bought it day one if they had done that. Right now, I'm waiting for P4 The Golden to come out because hopefully by then SOMETHING will happen (whether allowing PSX games, PS2 games, price drop, something).
For some reason, this article was hilarious to me. Funnier than anything I've read on Destructoid in awhile. I dunno if it's that header image, or just the fact that Buzz Lightyear of Star Command was the first game to maybe possibly work.
Wait, rebuying PS1 games? Or maybe that should be re-rebuying. If that's true then they can fuck off. And don't try to tell me that there's any signficant difference between my PS2 version of Godhand and the version you have on PSN.
I don't suppose anyone actually has a copy of this game and can confirm that it works on PS3,PSP and PSV with just the one purchase?

One would think it'd be easier for them to distribute the homebrew software, grab the ROMs and sell them themselves. No work, and all the profit!
How about getting more of the PSP's library available on PSN? That sounds like that might be worth looking into. Christ on a stick.
Just because it was added to the Vita Store doesn't mean you'll have to rebuy them. Rememeber, all digital PSP games that are compatible with the Vita are also on the Vita Store..........or they can just be transferred from a PS3 if you already bought them there.
I am sure that will be the case with already purchased PS1 games as well.

This was probably already written, but I'd suggest getting Tactics: War of the Lions off of PSN for psp. It's 99% the same game with beautiful cut scenes, great voice acting, and a lots of better written dialogue. Not to mention Balthier, and a the kid from Tactics Advance 2 with the stupid hair cut. Other than that, it's the best version of the game. I think its only 10 bucks too.
Just give the project to the that handful of guys who make emulators. They probably understand the firmware better than Sony. (also, theirs upscale)
Working hard? WORKING HARD?! The damn thing should of had that ability since launch. If the original PSP can run them, how the fuck can't the psvita not. For all I gives a shit for is the psvita to play God damn PS2 games! IDIOTS!
And just when I thought the world had forgotten about this cheaply-produced animated show based on a made-for-TV movie.
That show was my goddamn childhood. I wanted to be a Space Ranger more than anything else.

War of the Lions is not the best version of the game. It has aspect ratio issues and slowdown during magic effects. HOWEVER, there is a patch that fixes all this making it the best version of the game, especially with the new translation. You'll need cfw though.
please PS1 and PS2 support!!!!
if the HD Collection can be run on Vita, there's no reason PS2 games won't be able to run on it.

Buzz Lightyear of Star Command? That has got to be the most random-ass game to choose as the first PSOne Classic.
I don't think it's particularly difficult to get PS1 Emulation running on the Vita in some form. I think the problem is making sure every game on the store is running properly, licensing is all in order, the emulator is functionally where they want it, and this doesn't open the door to piracy like PSP Emulation on the Vita already has.
That, and I just don't think that getting 15 year old games that are sold for $6-$10 a piece takes precedent over developing new AAA titles, creating software updates, and making new applications that will actually sell more Vitas.

Bunch of whiners here. And one nintendo hypocrite (the idiot posting the nelson pic).
The reason it wasn't available at launch is cause they remade the emulator from scratch so it'd be native to vita.
The reason why they ddnt use psps emulator is the same reason why many psp games aren't available for vita. The psp emulator isn't perfect
3ds launched missing tons of stuff vita launched with. Be patient

The best example to give to someone ignorant like you about emulation. Is to think of it like translating in real time and at a high speed to make it acceptable to the viewer (this is why early emulation has frame drops and other problems).
You're translating the language of the emulated system into something the current one can understand and at a high rate to make it acceptable.
Emulation is never perfect though, some things just don't work 100% for sure b/c of the way the system's resources were used and if you fix it for one game, it may break another part in a different game when you emulate that.
The difference here is, Sony has access to their system, so they should be able to create a new emulator in a fairly reasonable time. I think they are taking long b/c they don't want to use the same POPS system for whatever reason (probably related to piracy concerns).
