Vita's PSOne support is a Classic blunder

[SupraGaz]

Scea announced 9 games that worked as of the live 1.8 update.

If people want to try their own from download history or buying something off the 9 game list to see if works is there problem.

They announced 9 games to work which there is, don't see where the blunder is... Or am I missing something?

Not really bothered by it myself. All the ones that I have transferred from the PS3 no problem. Just leave them in bubble form.

Playing Castlevania SOTN right now.

I just don't get the problem, PS1 emulation isn't exactly hard and all these game ran easily on the PSP !!

Well technically the American Vitas can run all the EU ones, so it isnt just nine games supported
Its just 9 American versions supported
Probably why they locked the cards

Them only announcing 9 games... that's pretty messed up. Considering what does work that others have already had, isn't listed. That's to say the least.

It's Sony... hard to figure out what the hell is wrong with them sometimes.

Completely agree only announcing 9 out of the catalogue is pants
Trying others out of curiosity isn't their fault though is it?

I don't get the question part... lay it down in elementary level for me lol.

[SupraGaz]

Sorry
I meant trying out the other psone titles that aren't stated as being supported (outside of the 9 listed) isn't Sonys fault. Or maybe I've miss interpreted something wrong
Although only having the 9 to chose from (officially) is crap on Sonys behalf.

[F34R]

I would say that me having to try out all those games that aren't listed, is their fault.

[SupraGaz]

I don't know the reasoning behind it, maybe them 9 are the only ones tested from start to finish that work and more announcements of titles that 100% work are going to be made in the future.

If they work on the PSP, then they shouldn't have any problems on the Vita.

[SupraGaz]

In theory they shouldn't have any problems at all. In reality it could be a different story. The tech is different and I know how pissed I'd be if I put 'x' amount of hours in to a psone title for it to crash or a black loading screen to appear etc.

Maybe I'm just looking into it too much but surely if psone compatibility was that easy it would have been in from day 1 of vitas release.

[Nitey]

Like 90% of PSone games don't have any problems running at all. They just won't be able to be downloaded through the Vita store. If you own a PS3 you can buy then transfer them from that and most games work (This is for SCEA).

They're probably going to release 8-10 a week to give an illusion that new games/content is coming to the Vita weekly . Idiots.

[SupraGaz]

Any trophy support for psone games

[Thorzilla]

Fuck man, where are the damn games in the EU Vita store?

[Nitey]

Gotta wait for the store to update Thor. Haven't been on my Vita today to check but if you can't see them then it hasn't updated

[mickice]

Atleast you got something, Australia still has none with no support.

Ps3 side.

Yeah, look at what they did with the PSP support. smh You can't trust them. Period.

I wouldn't doubt it.

Um, no.

NA store has been updated, PSOne games, only 9, are available.

[Nitey]

Thor, PSone classics are available on the EU Vita store now, and through download list as well

[SupraGaz]

Just had a browse and looks spot on. Annoyed the 2 that I want aren't £3.99 glad its all updated seamlessly though and just grabbed Resi 2

[Marcsony]

A bit sad that they have pushed the prices of some of the ps1 classics up in price Games such as Metal Gear and Resi games have doubled in price from last night. All were £3.99 guess they gotta shake us for every penny.

[Nitey]

MGS was part of the summer sale I think, I made sure I grabbed it at £3.99 last week. It just ended so that's probably why it went back up in price. Regardless, I can see them stealth upping the price of some PSone games anyway
