Still a no for me on Phantasy Star Portable 2, Fat Princess, Twisted Metal Head On, Motorstorm Arctic, and ModNation Racers PSP. If others are truly able to play PSP2, I'm going to change to color to match if nobody has already.

EDIT: Well, maybe not. I guess we don't have the "Works for some" color anymore.
 
I can add that Wizorb and Ape Quest's demo/starter pack work via transfer. I'd guess that if you bought the game packs for Ape Quest, they'd also work with it.

Finally! But there's a note on the store that says that multiplayer is not included, which would explain why it took so long to come out after being in the Euro store the whole time.

Thanks for the update I really wanted this one for the Vita but Tuesday I logged in to the PSN store on my Vita and could not get it. I read your post and went on the PSN store on PS3 but it is down for maintenance. Is something trying to make me not buy this. It looks great for a portable game.
 
They announced on the new PS Blogcast that these games will be added to the Vita's PS Store this week:

PSP
Gungnir
Manhunt 2
Unchained Blades

They also mentioned that Growlanger: Wayfarer of Time should be playable via PS3 transfer.

Sweet! I've been wanting to replay Manhunt 2! :D
 
[quote name='jeremybristol1959']"And seeing that Phantasy Star Portable 2 works"

Okay, so how is it done? It doesnt work on mine.[/QUOTE]
That's because it's been disabled from being visible by CMA. I doubt it's any more complex than a simple I/O switch that Sony can use to cut us off from being able to play certain games in the same regard that Android developers can go into their dev. console and disable certain phones from being able to access certain software.

As it is, the only way to play Phantasy Star Portable 2 on a Vita is to go back in time... and grab it off the European PSN.

About a month after having multiple people confirm the EU version was transfer-able, it was removed.

It's probably not a real big priority but I wish they would get Pac-Man Championship Edition (Mini) running on the Vita. Has anyone tried it more recently?
 
So then it's either a licensing issue (Sega's releasing PSO2 next year and wants us to play that version rather than this hacked version that they pulled from the online store months before the vita was released, which I'm okay with, I just wish someone would say so) or it's an exploit issue (like with other hacked games like Motorstorm Arctic, it won't come out until the exploits are fixed). I've repeatedly brought this issue up with the people at Sony's tech site, and not one of them will admit why it hasn't come out, and for months have said precisely the same thing (we're sorry about your frustration, we are constantly bringing out new games, blah blah blah). Anyway, that explains why some have been able to play it. Thanks.
 
Seriously, now, where's the PS1 Vita update?

EDIT: It was just announced that it's coming 8/28!

Only a few games to begin with...

Ill probably end up buying whatever games i don't have and are playable out of the gate, Such as Tomb Raider. For shame...
 
I've heard conflicting reports on whether the firmware update will allow only 10 games or every game, with IGN sure that every game will be available and most everyone else saying we'll only get the ten. Personally, considering how long we've waited for it, it ought to be all of them at once.

Final fantasy 7-9, FTW. If those three don't make it, oh the Sony nerd rage the internet will endure. Might have to take a break from the.internet and listen to something more sensible, like politicians.
 
Well, in the last couple of days, the gaming news sites are saying "more than 100," which I guess is a confirmation that all of them will be made available.
 
[quote name='Big St3ph3n']Also anyone know the best star wars Battlefront on the PSP?[/QUOTE]

I liked the 2nd one, Renegade Squadron, the best because of the mix of Solo story and simplified controls that made the game more fun to play. Unfortunately, this one doesn't work on the Vita, at least not yet. The other two are fun as well, but you'll need to do a PS3 transfer to install them.

Battlefront II is ugly and old-looking, but the dual-stick layout really works on the Vita, making it a whole new game IMHO. There's no internet multiplayer but otherwise, this is very similar to the version released on PS2.

Elite Squadron is more geared towards the PSP, including a different (from Renegade) set of simplified controls, and I like the way you can fly from space to the surface and back again. The missions are less varied and the controls don't map as well to the dual sticks as SWBFII did. Internet multiplayer still works.

Walkthrough video of 1.80 and some details on PS1 support:

Before the update becomes available, I wanted to take the opportunity to walk you through some of the highlighted changes and give you a sneak preview of what you can expect.

They're doing phased rollouts of PS1 games every week.
 
With the PSone titles now going the phased rollout mode just like the PSP/minis, do you guys think it'll be best if we modify the list to reflect the status of PSone titles also or should we make a separate thread for that instead?

EDIT: Looking at my download list, it looks like I can't download the games I bought from that list of available PSone titles just yet. However, I can download Cyberbots: Fullmetal Madness. I just need to get a bigger memory card before I can start checking out my PSone collection against this firmware.

Castlevania Chronicles
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

Cho Aniki was confirmed working by Joystiq. I'm still in the process of downloading all of my PSone games so I'll have my results soon. In the meantime, I'll try to update the list with Jetup's findings.

BTW, if I haven't said this before, a big thank you to everyone who's been updating the thread with their results, especially FriskyTanuki who's been pretty much the caretaker of this thread. All I wanted from this was to have a thread that would be as helpful to people as SynGamer's Xbox 360 HDD install thread and I'm glad that it's doing its job so far.
 
Chrono Cross and Legend of Mana do *NOT* work either way
Getting conflicted reports about Chrono Trigger
 
My PS3 is in hock right now, so right now I can only re-download using the download list. I can get Mega Man 1-4 and Castlevania Chronicles. It's probably too early to panic about this, since the store hasn't been updated yet (won't until Tuesday afternoon), but I thought we were done with this waiting business. Another phased roll-out? What the hell?

Edit: The PS3 transfer list includes some of the great RPGs I've been waiting for (no word on FFVI?), so as soon as I get my PS3 out of hock, I'll be ready to wait a month or two for some of the other games.

Colored even more games, FF8, RE2, RE3. FF6 is on my to-check list.
 
PSP games on PSN store don't have online functionality. I wish I knew this before buying.I hope devs start publishing their games as PS Vita games instead of PSP.
