PSOne Classics Compatibility List for Vita (US)

[oversoul53]

even though SCEA only listed a few on their blog, just like with PSP games, many PSOne games work with Vita through the use of Content Manager.

SCEA only listed the ones that can be downloaded directly from the PlayStation Store as of the store update on 8/28/12. But there are more that can be copied over by plugging your PS Vita into your PS3.

Please note: If you wish to copy a PSOne game that is already installed on your PS3 you will have to redownload it. PSOne games and Minis can only be copied to PSP and PS Vita while still in their install bubble format.

UPDATE: 26 new games added today (8/30/12) lists have been changed.

love the idea

I'll try Bishi Bashi now and see if it works

[pmm_fin]

I cannot find FF VII with the search in store. If I browse it using my dl list, it says that it cannot be downloaded using Vita.

Is there a category for these in the shop that I can browse?

there was an option to make them standard or fullscreen on both PS3 and PSP. I imagine Vita will have the same.

It's wierd, I tried to redownload Destruction Derby from the store and it gave an error something like 'This cannot be downloaded on your account'
I tried via my download list and it worked first time

pay attention guys. lol. I'm trying to explain it to you.

AFTER the store update TONIGHT (August 28th, 2012) you will be able to download those games listed directly from the PS Store.

until that time comes... you must use the transfer method.

I tried FF VII and IX transferring via PS3 and they both run as 4:3 screen with black border ALL around them, not touching top or bottom of Vita screen either. Maybe there's a way to adjust them that I didn't find.
