PSOne Classics now live on Vita
The PlayStation Vita 1.8 update is out, enabling PSOne Classics and packing some new usability features.
It's a bit odd that the PlayStation Vita didn't include PSOne Classics support from the start, but better late than never. The 1.8 update has gone live, including a handful of usability revisions alongside the new (old) games. Sony has only officially released a handful of them on the store, but apparently many more are available through a PlayStation 3 workaround.
The PlayStation Blog includes a brief walkthrough video of the new features. They include cursor control, back-touch for scrolling, selectable playback speed in videos, revisions for maps, notifications settings, and the cross-controller feature to work on concert with the PlayStation 3.
It also details the nine current PSOne Classics that are officially available, including Arc the Lad, Cool Boarders 2, Final Fantasy VII, Hot Shots Golf 2, Jet Moto, Syphon Filter, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal 2, and Wild Arms. But Joystiq reports that many more can be loaded onto your Vita by downloading them on the PlayStation 3 first. Check out the full list below:

If they weren't so damn expensive, I'd be down in a heartbeat.

You can play anything on the PS3.
Except games. -
YES! Why aren't you doing it right fucking now?
-
-
These are flimsy excuses at best.

wait till xmas, buy the AC3 bundle with game and memory card. either that or keep an eye out in the EB, best buy, etc. flyers/emailers for bundle deals. There are constantly bundles with the memory card and and a game from launch for the cost of the system without game or memory card. IMO, the price is right it just sucks that you have to dole out another wad of cash for a fucking memory card which then puts it into the too much money area.
i'd have waited to get mine but my xmas gift card was burning a hole in my wallet. also the bundled cards are usually only 4GB but just an FYI, if you're only interested in playing physical media based games that will get you going but i ended up buying the largest card and have been buying all my titles online for 4 or so dollars off and no tax in canada which is making up for the high price in memory cards. -

Wii only :(

That took forever...
-
-
Does anyone know if you can log into the other regions and buy/download games onto the Vita like you can on the ps3?
-
Do you need to create a PSN account for that region to access it? Because you can only have one PSN account per Vita Memory Card
-
Ah damn, yea. My main issue is that I have breath of fire 3 (UK version) and it's still not available on PSN classics :(. I have a lot of rare PSP games that I can't replace if I get a Vita. Hence why I haven't gotten one yet.
-
Same but at least they're slowly going in the *mostly* right direction
-
haha yea, I guess. I don't understand what's taking them so long. :( They would get more people to switch over if more games were replaceable. Oh well. I'll stick with my old psp.

And now I'll buy a vita
-
Been wondering, can the vita play games like Liberty City stories, Vice City stories?
-
Yes. They're for sale on the PS Store
-
-
Where is Tomba, N2O: Nitrous Oxide and Future Cop LAPD, Sony?
-

Still no DooM? WTH Sony??
Not to mention the PS1 DooM is probably the best port ever.-
I don't know I had Doom 64 and that was pretty pretty good.
-
The monsters in D64 were a little goofy looking IMO. The lighting and echoes and ambiance in PSOne DooM were incredible.

how the f do i get FF7 onto my Vita? I can see it in my Downloads List but it says not available for download on the Vita. Do I need to re-download it on the PS3 then transfer it? (Since it's already installed on my PS3)
-
I tried the transfer thing and it didn't work. But, when I went to the store on my vita, it knew that I'd already purchased the game, so I just downloaded it again.
-
-
still waiting for a price drop before i bite the bullet on a vita
-
Needs more Ape Escape :(
-
-
What!!!???!!!
I was going to "rebuy" FFIX and play it on my Vita and now it wont work? :(
I really want to play Chrono Cross again. I didn't see it on the list. Phooey :*( -
-
It's not showing up on my copy list (from the PS3) and it's not "officially released" in the US yet, so it's not on the store if you browse from the Vita.
Europe and Japan each has a different list, though, I think you guys get more games on this wave. Because Sony is the dumbest smart kid I know.
