Yeah which is a pain in the ass.
I'm skimming Japanese media, and all sites just mention "over 600 titles playable", and the official Sony say merely says "some games are not compatible", but not which ones.
Most of my PSone classics are from the Japanese PSN, so when I get a Vita, I hope all of them are compatible.

So can you play the ps1 games with the vita analog stick? Or do you have to use the d pad like on the ps3?

Humm, deja vu!
hey guys, so I'm in europe
Hi, I'm from USA. And I don't have a PS3. So tomorrow I can pick from a huge selection of 9 PS1 games for my Vita!!! Woohoo!!! So glad I bought that $80 32GB memory card!!! /sarcasm
But actually, I bought that 32GB for Vita and PSP games. So it's cool. I never intended to get very many PS1 games anyway. But there are definitely a few I would buy... if I could.

We have all the Disney classics.
Eat it USA.
Switch the controller setting to Analog mode and you can use the analog stick.
I did this in Grandia and it also let me control the camera with the Right analog stick. It is pretty rad.

As I said, it was highly likely that Sony of America will continue dicking over Vita owners, and it was highly likely that Sony of Europe will continue doing everything they can to their Vita owners.

For PS One games that were digital-pad only, you CANNOT use the analog stick to control them
For PS One games that supported the analog sticks, they work just like they did back on the PS One. The reason you can control Grandia's camera with the right analog stick is because you could do that on the PS One!
I hope they implement the ability to use the analog stick in place of the D-Pad, like they did with the PSP slider.

There seems to be zero quality control on the titles available for download through the Vita from the Japanese store even though it's an incomplete library. For example, I can't download the Macross PS1 game that was released recently as a digital download on the Vita, and I also can't transfer it from my PS3. But I just purchaseed and downloaded Tokimeki Memorial 2 through the Vita only to find out the game skips the animated cutscenes and also skips through text conversations so you can't tell what is going on.
Very disappointed.
Alright finished redownloading (the 2nd time in 2 days) most of my ps1 games to put on the vita. As others mentioned some that didn't copy over that I can think of off the top of my head are Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy V, Grandia & Tomba.
Sorry for the bad pics, especially the 3rd one :/ I took them quickly sitting at my desk at work Oh also I hit the 10 page limit for screens on the vita..... Thought they would add more
edit: hmm, that's weird, according to the list on the first page Grandia should have copied over. Guess i'll try it again this afternoon

Damnit. I don't have a ps3. ;_;
Damn you Sony. My Vita-only money isn't good enough for you?
So I loaded up my FFVII save and it of course asked me to change to disc 3, Ive pressed every damn button and I cant seem to figure out how to do it. I thought on PS3 you just hit the PS button but that doesnt seem to work on the Vita. Halp?
Press and hold your finger on the Vita screen. Choose "Change disc"

Can I not download these PS1 games on the Vita? How do I transfer?
Of course the one thing I forgot to try. Thank you sir.
Press front touch pad for few seconds and you get menus where you can change settings and disk.
Sigh, cannot transfer US account games from Ps3 to EU Vita. (yes, I tried anyway.
)I just bought Toy Story Racers to play on my Vita.
Man I forgot the name of the music vid that came from :/

That's why I've been waiting so long to be able to play Grandia on Vita.
I really hope it's made compatible soon. :|

R4 (Ridge Racer 4) would be a good one to try...
I would be thrilled if someone would port Looney Tunes Space Race to the Vita.

Is there any way to control FF7 with analog sticks? Analog mode didn't work. On the PSP I could choose a control scheme that had d-pad assigned to the nub.
You can play PS1 imports through a loophole if you so desire to play mega man?

What am I doing wrong? I can't transfer Tomba! to my Vita. I have the install bubble on my PS3.
I thought it was announced that it would be compatible day one?

You arent doing it wrong, its just not compatible. Sony gave MonkeyPaw wrong info.

So basically, anything worth a damn can be copied on Vita by transferring from PS3, but SCEA probably didn't bother testing anything but those 10 games?
No certain games that are "worth a damn" cannot be copied.
Euro released ALL the games to the store, so I assume they are tested.
SCEA just wants to make us visit the store every week. So dumb

No.
they probably want people who dont have them to get 10 new games per week so you can pick among them, if they just gave you shit-ton, they would end up selling a lot less.
Well, they can make a bunch available, and then use marketing to highlight a handful every week.
If they only release in small batches, it is also possible that their QA is overwhelmed. But they had a lot of time to test though. Afterall SCEE and SCEJ have an order of magnitude more titles to release.
*If* SCEA is short in QA resources, then they should have gotten SCEJ to help out. SCEJ probably don't need 600+ PSOne games for Japan by Oct 2012. They can allocate some resources to help SCEA test. If they can't work together, then it's their fault.

They know backwards compatibility with 15 year old games won't sell Vita's this holiday season, so they don't want to put the work into it.
That's possible; then may I ask what will sell Vita this fall if they don't want some income from these PSOne library ? Do they have something else in mind ?
If they opt out of the scheme with no other plans, then they are essentially undermining the overall Vita thrust.
So here's a question that is challenging for me, but which I expect SonyGAF will be able to answer easily: I'm currently playing through a disc-based copy of FFVII on my PS2, with my saved game on a PS1 memory card. I'd prefer to finish the game on my Vita, and don't mind double dipping for the PSN purchase. However, my save is on a PS1 memory card, and I don't have a PS3. I have a PS2, Vita, and Mac (with content manager). Is there any way I can make this work? If I find a "close enough" save online (I was at the whatever canyon with the great music -- think it's still disc one), is there any way to transfer it to the vita?
I had no idea this existed. Is it on the US store?
I will buy IMMEDIATELY upon my arrival home.
