Well done my fellow GAFfer.
BTW back when the PSN Servers glitched, the psx R-type games could be downloaded on Vita.
Yea I managed to snag Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. My favorite game on the Vita and the best way to play it with the ability to remap the movement to analog and having suspend/resume.

Fantastic. Could do with one of these for Europe! (But I'm planning on getting a US Vita some time, so this helps).
That'll be temporary. CFW exploit games return a little while after their exploit is patched out of the system software.

I would buy Class of Heroes 2, but it doesn't show up on PSN on my Vita TV.
Could I buy it from the website and download it from the download list?

Great list. Really wish the PS4 supported these titles.

From what I understand you SHOULD be able to do this. /r/Vita might have more first-hand answers if you asked there.

I keep forgetting the Gex games have been released on PSN. One day they will be mine.
Phantasy Star Portable 1 isn't on the PSN either. Thank god I still can download them on PSP (not Vita).
What's going on with Sega and Phantasy Star games in west? We still haven't got PSO2 despite we got an announcement from Sega.

According to the list it works but it's not listed in the store. Very confusing. I imagine their store is held up by threads.
The first Phantasy Star Portable was never uploaded to PSN. The second got removed due to licenses expiring.
I can't tell you what's up with Nova and Online 2 because I don't know.
Class of Heroes 2 works on Vita, but it apparently doesn't work on PSTV. That makes literally 0 sense, but hey, that's SCEA for you.

If you have some money burning a hole in your pocket, I'd buy it anyway. The owner of the publisher says he's working on getting it available to PSTV owners.

Well it's in the golden week sale which is why I was wondering
I wish there was a similar listing for PSTV compatibility since that's what we have. It gets even weirder with that since there are regional differences with some games working in some regions but not others. At some point down the line we'll get an actual Vita so it doesn't really stop me from picking up cheap games on sale or anything, but it is very annoying.
Yeah, questions about compatibility always crop up during sales weeks. I believe this is the first time CoH2 is on sale, so like I said, it might be worth picking up and waiting on it working.
It's kind of mind blowing that PSTV's compatibility list for PSP and PSone software is any different than Vita's. It's the same machine and outside of some accessory required games, there's nothing a PSP and PSone can do that a PSTV can't.
It's pretty bizarro. I guess if you look at the CAG list and things I checked myself, as far as I can tell, this is the list of US PSP games that work on Vita but not Vita TV, even if you transfer from PS3:
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles
Pinball Heroes
Rock Band Unplugged Lite
Worms: Battle Islands
Sega Genesis Collection
Gurumin
Def Jam: Fight for NY
Class of Heroes 2
But there are probably many missing, and I have no clue what the PSX games are.

Its really annoying. Half my game library is unplayable.
I don't understand. How could a license expire when the original publisher Sega still holds the rights of the title? Is it because of the music or copyrighted art or something?
There's crossover content in the PSPortable games that Sega doesn't own.

- Class of Heroes 2 now shows up in Search and the Classics section.
- Riveira: The Promised Land and Yggdra Union have returned to the Store. You can find them through Search and the Classics section.
- The individual Star Wars games can now be found through Search, though they're not in the Classics section.

It might be worth dedicating this to purely PSP classics on Vita, as the PSone thread is updated regularly.
It'd avoid some confusion, probably.
Edit: Here's the original, three-year old, ongoing thread.

I just got a Vita only days ago. Whats the deal with half of my classics from my old PS3 not being available for download on my Vita? I want to play Dark Forces and Crash 3 dammit!
I love this handheld though. It bums me out that something this cool gets no attention really :/
But why no Spyro and Crash?

Activision doesn't want them to be on Vita. It's frustrating, and especially disappointing given how long we've been in the dark about this stuff.
It doesn't show up in the New Releases section or through the Classics folder, but you can buy it directly on the Vita store through Search.

Any new games compatible with the 3.51?

What the actual fuck sony
This was changed on Tuesday. It's available under New Releases and in the Classics folder.
Have any idea on when the latter were removed?

Question: Your list says Silent Hill: Shattered Memories does successfully transfer via the PS3. But this contradicts older lists and the Wikipedia article for the game.
Are you sure Shattered Memories transfers? What is your source? Because I would very much want to buy it, but obviously wouldn't be able to play it if it doesn't transfer to Vita.
Edit: CAG apparently lists it transferable as well. I thought they did not, but I was mistaken. Which means it probably works.

Toukiden Kiwami demo version will probably be removed from the Vita store quite soon. (exploit game) EDIT: jpn only.
Don't try to transfer Silent Hill: Homecoming to Vita. It won't work, it's a PS3 game. ;p
0rigins and Shattered Memories supposedly work via transfer in NA, though.

Aren't they available in other regions, though? Why would they be like, nah, eff you NA folks.

I meant Shattered Memories! My mistake.
But I have returned to say... It doesn't even appear on PSN. It must only be in EU, it's not available to buy digitally in NA.
Different regions means different branches with different contracts.
Really weird. It looks like it got removed last fall with no reason given.

Very disappointing! I was really looking forward to that one. At least I helped clarify the list.
I agree. There really should be a whole archive for "resource" threads.

Silent Hill Shattered Memories should be moved to delisted games.
