PS Vita doesn't support PS One Classics

[Ssx9]

PlayStation Vita is backwards compatible with downloadable PSP games. So, you can play Akiba’s Trip and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite on it. Final Fantasy VII from the PsOne Classics section… eh maybe not.



Sony Computer Entertainment Japan posted a PlayStation Vita FAQ and there is a big asterisk next to the part where it says the handheld is compatible with PSP software downloaded from the PlayStation Store.



It says support for Game Archives (aka PsOne Classics and TurboGrafx-16 games in Japan) are the exception. In other words, PlayStation Vita won’t be able to run Metal Gear Solid or Chrono Cross. Sony says they will release more information about this soon.

Damn. I was hoping to play Castlevania SoTN and RE2 on it.

Still getting it, though.

My PSP screen is dead and its too expensive to repair.
So this would have been nice.
Oh well, just wait for a hack then wait for a PS1 emulator, heck a Ps2 emulator might work well heh.

Plenty of them can. The requirements aren't exactly through the roof.

Not a big deal for me, I still have my Psone and the PS3 can run PS1 and Psone clasics.
