Vita PSN Store Classics (PSP/PS1/Minis/TG-16) - The US definitive list

Shinriji

Member
Every time that PSN have a new PSP or PS1 game or sale, there is confusion if a particular game can be played on vita. Mostly because the vita store is a huge mess, but also some games have licensing issues and can be transferred using a PS3. And some games can be delisted by the publisher or removed by Sony because of exploits issues.

So this is an updated list with all classic games that you can buy and play directly from your vita, download via PS3 or see if the game is incompatible with the vita. When browsing for a game on the vita store, use the search function. The Classic Tab in the vita store isn't representive of the contents. Many games have incorrect links, etc.

If a game is incorrect noted as transferable by PS3 or delisted, please inform me. If you can post a picture, even better. CTRL-F for better results.

DISCLAIMER: This list was created with the members of VitaGAF, /r/vita, CAG and many others. Playstation TV/Vita TV list can be different.

It's about time we made a renewed effort to curate this list. The most accurate one, on Cheap Ass Gamer, is several years outdated.

Portable Ops and Dark Mirror not being compatible is a sad travesty. But now that the Battlefront games are up, there is hope.

This was my main motivation to create this list. The CAG list was pretty great when the vita came out, but since then, several games that were delisted, made compatible, etc.

I will try to keep this list updated.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 isn't on PSN anymore.

The Star Wars games are weird:

- Lego Star Wars III is on the Vita store, but only through using the Search bar. It is not in the Classics folder (or this week's sales folder despite being on sale). On the webstore it's only listed for PSP, but it works on Vita.
- The other five games are on the Vita store but you won't find them in the Classics folder or through search. You can find them individually in the Weekly Deals tab, or buy them in that overpriced bundle.

Awesome list. I can't find the SW: Battlefront games on the Vita storefront though, but it could be that the Canadian Store hasn't been reflected to update that. Edit: Ah, Takao has info on the SW games.

Also, Armored Core (PS1) is downloadable from Vita. Didn't see it on the list. Still, amazing job; going to be much easier to just Control+F this list when looking for a game.

Thanks a lot for this, really. I have had to do a lot of independent testing and research to learn what works and what doesn't. It's a huge undertaking to put this list together and I can already see a lot of mistakes you corrected.

Great job, and a personal thank you for me, Anthony, who is afraid he will not love his own children as much as he loves his Vita.

Phantasy Star Portable 2 isn't on PSN anymore.

So, do you think that a "DELISTED" list is necessary?

Last I checked, Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow was fully compatable. It doesn't appear to be on the list at the moment.

I didn't find it on the store, even using the search tab. If is just a listing mistake on the Vita store and the game can be downloaded from the download list, I will correct this.
 
So, do you think that a "DELISTED" list is necessary?

I would. Just to clarify that games aren't accidentally omitted and for more complete documentation.

And this is just an organizational suggestion, but sorting the list by platform would be really great for simply browsing. When I first got my Vita I would scroll through the list of PSP games and PS1 games separately and find games I didn't know existed or it never occurred to me to look for.

Alphabetical has its own benefits, though.

This also makes the distinction between games like Myst, which have PS1 and PSP versions that both work.

I don't have my Vita with me right now, so I can't verify. I could have sworn I downloaded directly, but at the very least you should be able to transfer from PS3.

Amazing thread! The fact that it's been 3 years and this is still an issue is shameful. Thanks for making it!!

EDIT: Hopefully this will help the thread:

These games can be downloaded directly (you have to look for them in the "download list":

Art Camion Sugorokuden
Finger Flashing
Lup Salad
Makeruna Makendo 2
Zanac Zanac

These games are incompatible, but not on the list:

Bomberman Fantasy Race
Command & Conquer
Motor Toon Grand Prix
Vehicle Cavalier

These are probably PS3-Transfer, but I need to make sure

Command & Conquer: Red Alert
Command & Conquer: Red Alert Retaliation

And these games remain untested for PS3 Transfer:

Bomberman Party Edition
Delta Force Urban Warfare
Ford Racing
Sno-Cross Championship Racing
Turnabout

So, if I want to play Valkyria Chronicles II on the Vita, I have to download it on the PS3 and then transfer to the Vita? Is that correct? Why?

Yeah, it is annoying, but things got better. It is a shame that some publishers (mainly Activision, Konami and Sega) did a terrible job in making their games avaliable to vita users.

It is an issue, but there's been a slow trickle of games that still goes on today. I mean, Just a while ago Myst and Coolboarders became compatible out of nowhere! So I guess there's still hope. Pretty much the ones faltering on the PSOne side of things are Acti, Konami and Squeenix.

I'd like to help the thread if you want. I'm looking for games that aren't on the list and adding them to my first post. Anything to have the most comprehensive PSP/PSOne Vita compatibility list on the web! :p

I swear that you could download Spyro the Dragon on the Vita for the US. Not sure why whomever would remove the ability to do so.

For your delisted collection:
- Angry Birds (Minis)
- Astro Boy: The Video Game
- Brave Story: New Traveler
- Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai
- Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai Another Road

Your list isn't entirely comprehensive, though. I notice Manhunt 2 is missing, so it sounds like you're going to have to do some digging ...

This kind of undertaking is perpetually a work in progress. The fact that a new list has been put together that is actually going to be maintained with a renewed community involvement is cause enough for celebration.

These two are indeed not listed in the Vita store, but they can be purchased on the online store, and sent to your Vita. They are also on sale at the moment.

It is so bizarre that the games are only available on certain versions of the PSN store.

This is great and I am very happy to see it was also updated so recently, but that list doesn't include PSP games, correct? And PSP games are the most significantly underdocumented titles.

This kind of undertaking is perpetually a work in progress. The fact that a new list has been put together that is actually going to be maintained with a renewed community involvement is cause enough for celebration.

Sorry if that sounded unappreciative or dismissive. I've tried doing one of these before and gave up after about 10 games. ;p

CURRENTLY REMOVED FROM THE VITA STORE (CAN BE DOWNLOADED VIA VITA DOWNLOAD LIST)

Riviera: A Promised Land
Yggdra Union

These two are indeed not listed in the Vita store, but they can be purchased on the online store, and sent to your Vita. They are also on sale at the moment.

It is so bizarre that the games are only available on certain versions of the PSN store.

Want to read something even stranger? Back around 2013 the Mexican Vita store didn't have a search button. And there was no PSN webstore either. Castlevania: SOTN was Vita compatible. But you had to search for it. Thus, for a Mexican PSN user with no PS3, getting the game was impossible. Or was it? By befriending someone whose recent activity included playing SOTN you could touch on their feed and it would take you to the SOTN shop page where you could buy the game.

The most ass-backwards way to but a game ever.

Could always PM KalBalboa (original creator) and ask him to add to the list..dude is super helpful and again, still very active.

Not trying to be a downer, just consolidate threads and celebrate the community that has already put a lot of work into this project.

Many of us have the old list bookmarked and still contribute, two lists just gets too confusing.

No problem. I'm only 100% sure of things that IS on the vita store. The things that aren't right now is that I need help.

Haha, now someone make one of these for Vita TV, which has its own idiosyncratic set of compatibility issues with PSP games (and maybe PSX games?) for some reason.
 
Thanks for this list. Finding a consistent and accurate list is becoming harder as the years pass.

It really is criminal that a lot of those incapable games are some of the best ones. I understand that licensing is probably the issue.

It would be nice though, if Sony is going to hold off making new IPs for the handheld, to at least repurpose it into a classics machine. I would buy probably 80% of what's on that incapable list. Easy.

Well done my fellow GAFfer.

BTW back when the PSN Servers glitched, the psx R-type games could be downloaded on Vita.
