Let us know if you’ve had any success transferring and using any titles not included in this list – we’ve heard some reports that there are some unlisted games that work.

All the ones are on there, I have some money saved, I reckon come the January sales I’ll be a joining the Vita party!
Kamokazi-UK
Well if i didnt have so many UMD’s id be thinking about getting rid of my PSP
Kamokazi-UK
…and i think i need another memory card…

That’s a shame, Ape Escape isn’t there. For some reason I’ve always wanted to play that, ever since I was young. Thought perhaps because Spike was announced for All-Star Battle Royal he might make an appearance on the classics list.
Bodachi
Well there is still the PSP version of the original Ape Escape.

Wow, what happened there? Usually the EU store gets the short end of the stick when compared to the US store. But this list of PSOne classics for Vita is way bigger than the one available in the US store. Well, good for you guys anyway, let’s hope SCEA can sort their stuff soon.
Tanzil
Loving this update
stueeeee
This is good to see, and the other updates were good, but this should have been 5 moths ago……
LTG Davey
I’d probably still have my Vita if this had been available day one. Portable Resi2, FF7 and Tomb Raider 2? Yes please!
Bilbo_bobbins
Thats a pretty good list, well done Sony. Now for some new ones for those Vita owners.
Hur4d
Yes! It works by copying from the PS3. Sadly the test game was Mickey’s Wild Adventure. However I will redeem myself with some relevance to the times, in that it was developed by Psygnosis, which became the late Sony Liverpool.
Taylor Made
I don’t want be a party pooper but really though why are u lot excited about these outdated washed out shit graphic games that should be illegal to put on show after so many years lol
I look forward to playing metal gear the only Mgs game I have never played
Forrest_01
You read the games that were in the list right???
I don’t even have a Vita, but just scrolling through the games above brings back some awesome memories for me.
The Lone Steven
Because we want to play some of favorite games on the way to work?

Graphics aren’t even close to being the main part of a game.
You can polish a turd…
