Have you even been reading my posts? I said you could rip your games from UMD, and play PS1 games that you rip.

How many times do I have to say it? Seriously...

If you meant what games work, this is the only remnant of the original site that listed compatibility: linky.

Other people's games that are created.....is that legal?


Also, isn't this forum supposed to be about the Vita?

The Vita is having PSP games remade for it. Library constantly growing.

They are developing emulation tech for the Vita to run the old PS1 games. It is not a matter of if, but a matter of when, which as I've heard... is sometime this summer.

I said PSP. But I see what you're saying.

Well if it weren't, we wouldn't have (Very popular, I might add) games like Tremulous.

It's thread/topic, man. Thread refers to a series of posts connected for the purposes of a message board.

Forum refers to a grouping of topics/threads. We're in the "General Gaming Discussion" forum, in the "PS Vita- Can someone tell me about it?" thread. Make sense?

Not trying to be condescending, just trying to clear up terminology so we don't get confused on what we're actually talking about. :wink:


And yes, most (If not all) digitally purchasable PSP games from the PSN will work on the Vita. So a Vita gets you access to most of the new games coming out and access to the library of PSP games that have been out for a while.

Also, Sony said that PS1 support will be added in update 1.80. When that will be is anybody's guess...

So which is better? The 3DS or the Vita? I like them both, but I guess I only need one new system. So can someone give me the differences the pros and the cons? BECAUSE THEY BOTH HAVE GAMES I LIKE.

I feel that I should point this out. The whole point of buying a game system is to play "GAMES YOU LIKE"; so buy the system with more "GAMES THAT YOU LIKE".

Vita it is, then.......goodbye, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance............I hope to see you someday............you too, Super Smash Bros. NEXT..............



Well, anyway. Any more info on the Vita? Since I'm planning on getting it when I save up money- ESPECIALLY SINCE A REFURBISHED ONE WITH WI-FI IS ONLY $189.99!!!!


So yeah, can someone tell me?


(edit)....you know what? Never mind. I'll find out for myself when I buy it in Florida on my vacation with my family. Just tell me some good games for it, please.
