PS Vita firmware 1.8 is the one to watch for PSOne Classics
- Thread starter BradleyUK
- Start date
we will know tomorrow... Sony is not saying anything..
That's my understanding of this.
They havent announced the list of games that will be compatible, but they have said that you will not have to repurchase games you already own. So when Silent Hill is compatible, it will work on your Vita.

which means it'll be a big disappointment.

I'm expecting tomorrow only obscure, niche games will work and the big titles to be "TBA" on the store.
Then when it does work,transfarring(I always had a feeling this was a made up word) will be limited and the games will be at a 4:3 aspect ratio with no smoothing.
Expect the worse people so you can be excited tomorrow.

If Money Idol Exchanger, G Darius, or Silhouette Mirage work, I'm good.
we are expecting this on the 28th. of August... ;o)
I'm expecting it tomorrow prior to the store update.
Sounds good.
Who wouldn't want PSX games to play in 4:3?
yep
That would be completely new... Every ps3/psp/psvita firmware has released in the early hours of the morning

Most likely. That's when they usually release firmware updates. Its usually around 11pm 12AM EST for me.

This is what I expect based on previous PS3 FW experiences.
Granted, this is my first new FW as a Vita owner though...
$9.99 each

Yup it's going to be great playing FFVII again in 4:3
That's about the dumbest exaggeration I have seen. You purposely cut out the edges?
Yeah usually 3 or 4am for me.
Good to see people are expecting that then. Fingers crossed.
He didn´t like Tifa´s butt..
Damn. I still can't believe Square released the biggest game ever at the time like that for everyone.Yup it's going to be great playing FFVII again in 4:3
1997 and a third of the screen was cut off for millions. What were they thinking?!
They clearly shot themselves in the foot.

Yes, please.
There is but for only for Japanese games on Japanese PSN.
It's not so much a transfer but it discounts the digital price of your game for you to repurchase as a download version.
Yup, that's what i've been thinking.
Same for me except it's Grandia and Vagrant Story.
Can't wait.

I'm hoping Metal Gear Solid will be compatible after this update.

It's one that was already confirmed.
I think my favorite emulation of psone games (other than epsxe of course)was on the ps2. I'm still surprised they had the smoothing option for that back in the day. Made games look fantastic. I feel like that's the last time any of the huge console manufactures tried with emulation to actually enhance the games, as I feel like they should.

It was? I didn't know that. Thank you for the info.
Pretty sure it was confirmed on UK Playstation website.
well, the ps2 didn't really emulate much i think?
sony used the original psx processor as the i/o processor in the ps2 so they got BC for "free"
Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Twisted Metal 2, Tomba!, and Final Fantasy 7 are all confirmed for tomorrow, which are arguably some of the biggest and least niche games for the console. I'm holding my breath on FF8, Medieval, Future Cop: LAPD, and a few other heavy hitters for me, but the few confirmed games are basically the biggest and best of the bunch.
I hope you guys are right. I wont hold my breath, but you're right when we look back at past firmware releases.
There's smoothing for PS2 games on the PS3...

I have Vagrant Story and Xenogears but I wonder if theyll be playable.
Praying for Xenogears. It's really what I've been wanting to replay for the longest time.
Would be sweet to play Future Cop, how come EA never got the Strike series on PSN, unless I have missed them, they would be pretty sweet to play.

got my grandia and threads of fate saves ready
Oh I see. I wasn't sure. I never really looked up how they did it. I just remember being excited that it added AA to games and had faster loading, etc.
Yeah, I didn't think it was the same thing. It doesn't add AA just kind of filters the image I thought?
