What are the odds that we are left trying to figure this out on our own, like with psp games that can only be transferred through the ps3?

I bet we'll have games pushed to us on the store front but have some that we need to experiment with. 100 at launch should cover most bases, though.

Well considering that last part of your post, it's very likely isn't it :|

Damn you Sony.

High in the US, low in the EU.

 

[FireCloud]

I so hope this goes up tonight for NA. I doubt it will, though.

So do I. But it will probably come out at GCT (Grace Chen Time) so I'm not going to hold my breath.

Well, I know the first thing I'm doing is connecting the Vita to the PS3 and trying to transfer Darkstalkers & DS3 over.

Grace Chen doesn't have power over FW updates. We are safe from her delays.

The Store still has to get updated, right?

 

[Easystride]

As long as FF9 and Xenogears are playable, I'll be satisfied.

?? Psp port of Darkstalkers is super sweet, just get that

MonkeyPaw Games will make five of its PSOne Imports and Classics available to Vita users tomorrow, when the new firmware adds PSOne support to the handheld. Alundra, Arc the Lad 1 and 2, Vanguard Bandits, and the recently released Tomba will all be playable on Vita in North America starting tomorrow, the publisher told Joystiq.

Anyone making a thread for ps1 games ?

What about the store? Firmware updates have nothing to do with the store.

Woot, I was hoping Vanguard Bandits would make the cut.

Tomba on vita? There is a Jesus.

 

[Cameron122]

Vanguard Bandits!! My first SRPG!

Technically, if the FW update is out before the store, you'll be able to transfer from your PS3 (and maybe PC). o:

I asked jeff about firmware 1.8

 

[Iacobellis]

I'm pretty sure the games have to be updated in some way to work on the Vita. That's what has been happening with PSP games.

Don't we already have all the details about 1.8?

 

[Jucksalbe]

I really hope they tell us exactly which games will be compatible (or just put them all on the Vita store) or this is gonna be a huge testing marathon (and a bunch of account switching) for me tomorrow.

 

[theDeeDubs]

You've never played Vagrant Story, then.

Also, it's the only PS1 game I re-bought in digital form. So, yes, insta-fail for me.

With ya there. It's my favorite game of all time. Just got my Vita and would love to have Vagrant Story for the road.

 

[B.O.O.M]

Maybe there's a secret!

Waiting patiently for this.

They usually do a post saying "firmware incoming. Here's what it does". He probably means that. So firmware is likely tonight.

I'm sure they will list them

 

[tearsofash]

Maybe I'll finish my run of FF6 since my PS3 likes to keep turning itself off while playing it.

 

[Bboy AJ]

I bought my Vita months ago specifically for this moment. So pumped.

I have a US Vita with a US PSN account. But I'm living in Europe now. Problem?

Nah.

 

[Bboy AJ]

Nah.

Alright, cool. FFVII, here I come. I also never got a chance to play the original Silent Hill. That will be awesome.

Legend of Mana? Gimme.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Don't we already have all the details about 1.8?

Nope. They said on the Blogcast that there are more features in 1.80 and they are working on a video that will be posted today.

 

[Skilletor]

Bought FFVII last night.

Also have:

Alundra
Arc the Lad 2
SotN
Xenogears
BoF4

Hope they all work!

Sprites + OLED = bliss

 

[Misterhbk]

First game I'm hoping to give a go is either Grandia or FF VII. Never completed either of them so really can't wait for this update to go out!

 

[Aurizen]

didn't someone say we will get more news on it soon? there's more features?

 

[Saint Gregory]

The more that I think about it the less I think I need flawlessly rendered, portable Vagrant Story. I don't have much free time as it is...

All 100 better go up or I'm dumping my Vita and going back to the PSPgo which I originally had before trading it in for the Vita.

Are we sure that it's limited to a small number of titles? The PS3 had full PS1 software emulation in 2006.

It's a sign. That's your PS3 telling you to stop playing the horrible PS1 version and go find the superior GBA version.

 

[Afrikan]

is there any info if new psone games that haven't had a digital release yet, are part of those 100 titles?

should I stop getting my hopes up for one of them being Colony Wars? especially here in the states?

 

[Figboy79]

I will double dip on Chrono Cross if it's available to play. I've only beaten it once, and it was around the time it released.

I already have Alundra, Vagrant Story, and Castlevania: SOTN on standby. I've already beat SOTN, but dammit, I love that game! I've only gotten a little bit of playtime on Alundra and Vagrant, so they'll be new to me.

Let me check my magic 8-ball:
Signs point to no.

That is, I think Sony is just trying to get the PSOne emulator on Vita working at this point and (that I know of) no statements about getting new PSOne classics up in the store have been made.

 

[MrBS]

I might use this as an opportunity to finally get around to beating Chrono Cross. That and getting those last two titles in Vagrant Story - kill 5000 of each monster and use each weapon 5000 times. Heh, I'm in the 'against' team for achievments and Vagrant Story would have to be the only game I've ever really bothered doing it for.

 

[DukeTogo1300]

This talk of the update possibly launching around midnight is making me goddamned crazy.

I play through SotN once or twice a year. It's definitely one of my favorite games ever.

 

[Wario64]

It's Sony. Update will come tomorrow night most likely

 

[KalBalboa]

I've tried it on my PS3 and I got to about 60% before I got lost. I made the mistake of putting it down and coming back to it once a week or so.

 

[Carl]

If they said 28th on Euro show, surely it will release on the 28th in Europe...and we always get firmware updates at like 3am

 

[twinturbo2]

I never upgraded my Vita to 1.69. Should I do it or wait for 1.8?

 

[Andrefpvs]

Wait.

 

[Skyzard]

^doh..

This is why I'm sticking around. (And the internet addiction).

 

[Extra Sauce]

So people don't have to re-buy the PSOne games they already downloaded on other Sony systems? That's awesome for the consumer, but it might be a good example of why SCE struggles financially.

Didn't MonkeyPaw already say that Arc the Lad 2 and Vanguard Bandits will be available, too? That would mean that's not the full list.
