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

Unfortunately I only have my Vita and laptop with me at the moment.
I seriously doubt it but does the web store allow me to download games onto my pc?Unfortunately I only have my Vita and laptop with me at the moment.
Media Go, the software does. Lol. I used to do it all the time for my PSP. I use it as my Sony version of Itunes, since it helps organize PSP game/save downloads.
Alright, i'll test it out with Media Go.
The only thing you'll want to do, is make sure that you know where Media Go saves the files, and where Content Transfer Manager saves files, cause you'll have to copy and paste the data from one, to the other. But I used content manager to move all of my PSP game saves to my Vita, even for games I haven't put on there yet, like Dissidia, Peacewalker, Crimson Gem Saga, etc. I'm holding out for Birth By Sleep to get figured out... Sigh.
Is that with the game pre-installed, or just directly downloaded from Media-Go? I haven't tried myself, honestly, so I'm just verifying.

Jesus, I didn't know this was licensing issue. I thought for sure it was something to do with the emulator.
This is bullshit. Sony should be burned at the goddamned stake for this. I can't believe that they're actually locking people out of accessing their games for no fucking reason at all.
WOW.

So now I've taken almost every measure I know to back up my "forbidden" games (PC content manager, full mem card backup on PS3, de-activating wi-fi on Vita), excluding copying them to PS3 individually and see if they can be transferred back. Can anyone confirm if it works by this method?
Licensing there own games is an issue? and I'm not even talking about Crash and Spyro.
scea don't care.
I just want to thank OP for finding this and sharing it. Though it was short lived, those of us in here were able to get some games we haven't played in a while and some games we never played.
Absolutely loving Burnout Legends and I have you to thank for it (along with the people mentioning it)
Hopefully some day this will be open again to everyone but until then I will remember fondly the few days that Sony's goof made the Vita just a bit more worth owning.

They may have published the games originally, but Sony has no rights to publish a Crash or Spyro game completely on their own because they don't own those characters. They probably need to hash out a new contract or amendment with Activision to cover Vita playback.
He knows that, he's thinking about stuff like Legend of Dragoon and maybe Jeanne d'Arc (they were publisher, but Level 5 developed so they could hold the IP still.)
guys is there a way to still play the Genesis collection? I was meaning to buy it, but it got too late
Yeah, you can grab that still. I believe you can transfer from PS3 at the very least.
I'm never deleting it. Finally have MGS1 and VR missions together (although in Europe they're called 'special missions' for some reason). MGS is a good example of the regional stupidity.
US - can't download MGS but can download VR missions
EU - can't download VR missions but can download MGS.
Crazy.

I bought Twisted Metal Head On now that it was Vita compatible. It runs and works well.
I was going to buy more games now that they all work... guess Sony doesn't want my money.
This is such a stupid thing. Us fans were so happy, now they are taking it back.

Just wanted to quote this for fun.
There's a huge number of PSP games that should be available but aren't either due to apathy or licensing fucking it all up (I do imagine it's apathy for FFI&II because that seems to be how SE rolls these days.) Maybe it'd be better if not only were larger memory cards available sooner at affordable prices but Sony was going full force with DD from the start. Instead they dipped their toes in then jumped in fully with go, and while that made the online store much more robust literally overnight there were still a lot of omissions.

Capcom at work. At least Maverick Hunter X is here.
Considering how negative this topic is (Sony being pricks :l...) why don't we list the games we put on our Vita's due to this glitch? Could be a nice way to bring back the positivity this topic had when it started .
For me the games I put on my Vita include:
Crash 1-Crash 3
CTR
Spyro 1-3
Pac-Man CE Mini
Twisted Metal Head On
MotorStorm Arctic Edge
Rock Band Unplugged

Considering that pretty much every other Capcom PSP game is on PSN, I think that there is some sort of problem (cert?) on this game. They advertised it as coming when Mavrick Hunter went up, but said there was something that was preventing them from getting it on the service.
I'm guessing it's got some compatability issue with a random model type or random memory card type that made it fail certification at the last second.
Confirmation of that problem from Sven http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_cap...sking-for-mega-man-powered-up-on-the-psn?pg=2

I'm pretty sure Sony owns everything Level-5 has worked on that they've published.

Gran Turismo PSP.
Motorstorm is gone forever, right? Not even via PC.
I managed to get all 3 Spyros and all 4 Crashes on my Vita Tuesday night. I would have bought more games if I had known they would be taken down again, but I'm just happy to have the Crash and Spyro games. Those were the ones I wanted on Vita most.
And I got them all for a dollar each B^)

I only grabbed:
MGS1
Sega Genesis Collection
Thought about a few others, like Gran Turismo PSP and SW Battlefront 2, but debated and waited too long.
I've wanted MGS1 since I got my Vita though (no PS3), so I'm happy enough with that.

The backups of the games on the pc are account locked, right? If I bought, say, MGS1 and got someone elses MGS file from the Content Manager it would not work, right?
* I mean putting his file on my folder of content manager.

I don't like Mega Man games. I played the SH out of this one and would again.
Still, those games are fantastic.
This is true. But so are the other Crash and Spyro games...
I only copied Crash 1-3 and Spyro 1, but I don't think I'll get around to beating any of them on my Vita before playing Persona 4, finally, or finishing FFVIII.
HOPEFULLY we'll have them on the NA store by then.
I really hope the fact they just don't want to put the games on Vita is a hint at a HD Crash Collection coming to it. The only crash adventure game I've played was Crash 2, and I don't' remember much about it. I just know that I really enjoyed it.
Just what does activision want?!

Remastered PSone games with trophies is something I've been secretly hoping for, but I'm not expecting miracles either. Some better upressing and smoothing akin to the better emulators out there would be awesome.
I'm livid that I now have about 8 gigs of PS1 games on my 16 gig card that I now can't remove or they'll be gone forever.
This is ridiculous.
They shafted me with memory card prices that are ten to twenty times what they should be. Then they shaft me by taking games away that I could play just fine. Now they're trying to shaft me again by paying for another ridiculously expensive memory card if I want to keep the games they tried to shaft me with before.
