Looks like all digital PSP / PSone games work on Vita now [Not Anymore]

But...it's just backwards compatability in digital form. If the games are licensed to play on PSP I don't see why separate licensing is required for Vita. It's just using the PSP part of the system. Ugh.

Maybe? *shrug*
It'd be cool if there were no licensing issues as then I don't think there'd be any reason to lock the content again

Are you sure? Someone was saying last night they worked. Did you buy them on the web store and try to download them through the Vita?

If this is a problem that need some "fixing", then that may generate a big headache for them, since now many people certainly have already downloaded tons of stuff just to play on Vita.
I really hope that this was intentional, and not a mistake. But I think it may keep up like that! =)

If this was done on purpose that seems to be the only logical solution really.

Seems just as plausible as anything else we've come up with
Oh my word. Went to the download list and Legends is downloading. :O
This makes the most sense, although it doesn't explain why stuff that's been pulled from the store (IE, stuff that will never be available on PS Now) would be affected by this
I'm aware of that, but the digital version won't pass SCEA's cert. Capcom has confirmed this multiple times.
I understand the "it can be played casually" argument, but it's a broken port. The man who created the game is the man who created Pac-Man, and this was the first true sequel to that game. It was created to have very specific timing and balance, and if you play the Minis version, you're not getting that.
I'd consider it, like, the SNES version of Street Fighter Alpha, or something similar. Especially worse here, because a lot of people might not understand they're not getting a proper version of the game.

my theory is that during the E3 sony conference they would announce everything playable on vita but ti just slipped out
*puts tin foil hat on*
better download crash team racing and spyro 1-3 before its too late

Hopefully we can get some sort of response, from what I can google no real reason for removing it off of PSN was ever given.
They've removing games since this happened? That's a bad sign.
This includes
$9.99, 28 games.
You can play Ps2 classics on Vita?
its been delisted for years
No. It was delistee a long time ago.
Oh okay. Hopefully they put it back up.
Not this again..
The game was on PS2 and PSP.
2 seconds of googling.
Fault of OP to put a ps2 cover instead of psp as well

Has anyone tried downloading Alone in the Dark? It wasn't possible to get it on Vita before.
I know it should work but I'd really appreciate confirmation.
Also, how is the Gradius Collection?
The song is integrated into a few major cutscenes of the game and is featured in full at the ending. I can't see them changing it without severely crippling the experience.

New info isn't always easy to find on Google. I thought there was a chance they just became playable.
Anyways, thanks to you and the person below you.

The home screen bubble layout, looks like a drew it up
Aside from being anti-consumer for the sake of being anti-consumer, is there any real reason why they would bother trying to stop people from downloading these on their Vitas?

artistic integrity? That's sorta pulling a george lucas isn't it?
On the positive side, maybe that licensed Leona Lewis song will prevent FF13 from ever being re-released.

If it's like the other "PS3 only" Classics (AITD, Delta Force, Motor Toon Grand Prix, Pocket Fighter, Vehicle Cavalier), I don't think it works. I know Motor Toon doesn't work, but dunno about the others.
except like 10 people on the internet would notice if a song from crisis core were to change and it wouldn't impact the game at all.

I actually put this in my list of announcements Sony could make for the Vita to give it the best E3 possible, in this post 5 days ago!
Anyway, so happy with this. Downloaded Burnout Legends straight away and it runs beautifully. In all honesty it actually feels better than I remember it on PSP...
How do the graphics hold up on the Vita?
I've heard Domination looks tons better and I much preferred Revenge over 3
But everywhere I look people say Legends is better and those that say Domination is better only back it up with Maniac mode (don't care for) and graphics

Honestly I can't do a graphics comparison because I owned Dominator on UMD back in the day, and my PSP went missing in a house move years ago. But I can relay my feelings on the two games from vague memories of 2009! On the Vita, Legends looks as good as any 3D PSP game i've seen. Better than Vice City Stories, anyway. Want me to grab you a screenshot, despite how ridiculously unrepresentative they can be? EDIT: Never mind, screenshots not an option...I think it holds up as well as could be expected, and better than my (admittedly low) expectations!
Between the two games though, I think Dominator did look better. But if I remember, it didn't have Crash Mode, and it was overall a much smaller game. Legends is much closer to Burnout 3 than Revenge, but i'd say that holds for both games so if you really didn't enjoy 3 they might not be the games for you. I just like the course selection in Legends - it's the closest i'll likely ever get to replaying any of Burnout 1 or 2.
My tested PSP demos all works great:
Ape Quest
Warhammer 40.000 Squad command
Dissidia Final Fantasy
MGS Peace Walker
Little Big Planet
Undead Knights
God of War: Ghost of Sparta
DBZ: Tenkaichi Tag Team
Lord of Arcana
Gladiator Begins
Modnation Racers
Yes been checking this thread for psp demos

Is either of the Star Wars Battlefronts working does anybody know?

I'd like to know this too.
Ah, okay thanks, I guess that makes sense...it's been so many years since I beat the game. I thought it was only at the ending.
obviously pulled it from my butt, i'm just saying that I don't think that S-E is thinking that deeply about it. you're talking a couple uses of a song in a 40 hour long game (or however long it is, sorry that number is from the booty too)

Obviously legal licensing issues are the only thing preventing it, and if they didn't give a shit they would have replaced the song with something else by now. (I think they should just replace the song too, fuck that song)

This is really a massive bummer. I bought it on impulse last night and I'm OK with playing it casually on handheld since I have the other two versions on console if I want to play it. But the timing really is the thing on that game - it's actually a lot like a racing game in that respect.

How good is the PSP version of Sega Genesis Collection? Is emulation good enough for all games, or does it have any kind recurrent problem?
The emulation of the games is comparable to the PS3 version; can change how much of the screen the games take up, the games run at their original frame rates (most of them 60FPS), the controls are rock solid (dat D-Pad man
) and there are exclusive arcade games to the PSP version that weren't in the PS2 version of the collection (though those said games slip my mind ). It is an overall great collection of some of the best Genesis games and while you can get the game without using a PS3, take advantage of it man
