Redownloading all my psone titles, but now I'm a little worried because PJM Deluxe won't extract on my PS3 without a PSP connected and my Vita doesn't see it in content manager. 
Vagrant Story.
....that was quick?
Unless you mean before the updateIf I were you guys and had a friend who had a PS3 I'd ask just to go round and setup a temporary account to transfer some games instead of waiting a few months for SCEA to get it together. Only friends you trust of course, might be a pain entering payment info otherwise
Here's some games I got working on my Vita, although they're obviously not from the US PSN store.
Zanac x Zanac
SOTN
Osaka
Culdcept
Star Gladiator
Langrisser I & II
Langrisser IV & V
Front Mission 1st
Brave Fencer Musashi
Einhander
FF7
Rakugaki Showtime
Gunners Heaven
Saga Frontier 2
Policenauts
KOF98
Alundra
Vagrant Story
Xenogears
Arc the Lad II
There are others I have yet to try I have on my account, but I kind of ran out of time and space on my Vita.

I'm conflicted on the idea of adding non-NA account games, but these are still worthy finds. If any are from SCEE you should chime in the Europe compatibility thread.
Ehh to be fair, this thread isn't really about the complaining. This is 17 pages because people are constantly updating with games that work/don't work and requests lol.
This is the thread you're looking for: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=488785
Much thanks for that.
I'm working on a tutorial right now for transferring games from a NA PS3 to a Vita. My camera is pretty shitty, but I think it'll get the job done. If anyone with a solid DSLR or ability to screen-cap a PS3 wants to help I'd certainly appreciate the help!

Hmm, so possibly very dumb question here... Is there any way to get the FFXI save from my PSP onto my Vita? I plugged the memory stick into my PS3 and copied them onto the (PS3) system, but I can't find them anywhere when I navigate the Content Manger through my Vita (when it's connected).
I'm saving IX for later when I really want to play it again.
Replayed the first disc of VII (kept restarting after long breaks to get back into the story..) too many times to be honest but I'm skeptical of trying VIII...as I've always been (untouched copy).
Does it still have some of the charm that VII and IX had? (The music, visuals and situations/story). The emo-ish look from the images/trailers I've seen doesn't appeal to me like VII and IX did. Am I wrong about it? Or should I just get on with VII.. decisions decisions..fwp
Would appreciate any input from fans of ff who've played VIII as well.

It's not like those two. It closer resembles X in style and gameplay.

It still amazes me every time I see how small the game size is. Like 97mb.

Transferred MGS to the Vita. Too bad I can't start it tonight since I have to read for class!
Sorry was watching some CGRundertow vids to decide which crash bandicoot to start off with. The first one lol. It's harder but I'm more familiar with it so the added nostalgia would be nice. Then I get to enjoy the upgrades of the later ones...anyway!!
Thanks for the reply, I'm leaning more towards VII now but I did enjoy X.
That was still pretty colourful and light-hearted (from what I remember of it anyway!)..plus that fantastic soundtrack..Is VIII a lot darker than X?
I've got MGS at the ready but I just got dual-fed MGS2&3 quite recently on vita..was thinking I'd want to hold off for a while and perhaps play them all through again when I start to miss it again...Btw MGS2&3 are great on vita if any of you didn't already know!
The L2/R2 buttons mapped to the touch pad killed any enjoyment of MGS for me today. The weapons and item menus just randomly opened and closed whenever I held the Vita normally and my fingers pressed against the rear touch.
Until Sony fix this stupidity and disable the rear touchpad, I've got a bunch of unplayable PSone games. I have a half completed save file imported from my PSP. Having L2/R2 mapped to the analogue stick worked well, so the touch pad is completely redundant.

Having a grip for the vita really helps avoid the basic want to rest your hand on the rear touch pad to prevent cramping.
Of course I'd love if they add to the PS1 emulator so it has the nice features of the PSP too...perhaps customisable rear touch too. I'd love to map to either analogue stick as well...wipeout would play much better....since you control the pitch a lot more in the older ones.

Yes, a grip helps to avoid rear touch accidents. ^_^
I wish Crash Team Racing worked via transfer, but I'm happy.
What theme is that? Do you know if it exists with just the section labels?

Does Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver still hold up? I just realized I never got around to playing it back in the day and know nothing about it. I think I am going to buy that and Klonoa.

Because it seems to have been ignored before (I don't blame anyone because of the constant posts at the time): The North American version of Reel Fishing II works perfectly.

I think everyone ignored it because the majority of gaf probably has never played a fishing game. However I appreciate your input.

Does legacy of kain still hold up? I always wanted to play it but if it feels broken by today's standards I won't bother.
Edit: also where is the default R2 and L2? Playing SOTN and if I go to custom controls it won't let me set those buttons.

By Legacy of Kain are you referring to Soul Reaver or Blood Omen (the first game)?
I don't think either of them hold up particularly well, to be honest. Soul Reaver was at least a technical feat for the PSX while Blood Omen was a piece of shit on that front (still a good game, though).

Meant Soul Reaver. Anyone else recently played it?

I picked up FFV-IX on the PSN sale in March. I had already played V on the PS3, so loading ain't no thang.
But VII is looking better than I remember. Pretty excited to get through them all.

Possibly dumb question, but I assume you're talking about a PSOne Classics game save. How did you get it onto your Vita? I tried to use the instructions linked below, but it didn't work; I don't see the save data when I browse via the "Copy from PC to Vita".
http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/52313/how-can-i-move-my-psp-game-saves-onto-my-ps-vita
I copied my PSP's memory stick contents in their entirety and then copied the folder of the save file(s) I wanted into the local folder created by the Content Manager App. I'm using it on a Mac, so I'm not sure if maybe Mac OS put one of those ".DS Store" files it writes in and it's fucking it up or something. :-/
VIII is looking better than I remember. The last time I played it was on a 40" HDTV, so the pixel density and oled are helping.
I can confirm Cyberbots.It showed up on my download list before FF VII.

SOTN is a complete joy on this thing.
My PS1 games are not in bubbles. Don't tell me I have redownload them.

Not 100% sure myself but I think because of the new firmware that blocks multiple account usage on one memory card it is possible still but you would need a second memory card for the EU account. Or you have to keep reformatting and losing data when you switch.
I might be completely wrong though. I did try to sign in to my NA account and it brought up an error saying the Vita was tied to another JP account.
