I'd assume you'd use the dummy card as the one you use to reset with (so it gets wiped and prepared for use on that account) and then, because the other card is already prepped for the relevant account you can just plug it in and go. And then when you change back again do the reset with the dummy card (wipe) and after that put your original card in.
Quite a clever idea if it works. Expensive though!

Ok, so I didn't realize how few Vita games would have English language options....are there any good PSP games from the JPN store that have an English language option?
I know FF1 and FF2 do....does Tactics:WotL? Or any other great PSP games? Have 10,000 yen to spend...
Ps..Katamari Vita or ArmyCorps for English speaker?

So when you switch accounts, you have to wipe the card too?
Edit: response below is what I'm thinking of.
That idea seems to be based on the assumption that you have to wipe the memory card when you reset. But you don't (or so I believe!).
To switch accounts you 'just' reset, don't wipe the card, then swap to another card. Or if you don't have a card per account, restore data from a ps3/pc for your second account. Don't see why you'd want or need a third card for the system reset when that doesn't have to involve memory cards at all (?)
Tbh, fighting games aren't exactly popular in Japan anymore, unless it's calls SSB. But i'm surprised Capcom haven't done a Jump vs. Capcom yet. Even Western audiences are familiar with Jump characters from Bleach, Naruto, Dragon Ball etc. Or are the licenses in the West not in one place?

I was gonna go with Army Corps but them kind of impression may be enough to swat me.
Decided to also go ahead and order BlazBlue to go along with a case from P-A.
When it comes out elsewhere, plenty of people will be on. What's your PSN ID? We can try some worldwide online play.
Fighting games still have a large presence...
...in arcades. As others have said, Marvel's popularity is in the west.
@the UMVC3 situation - this sucks. I bought a bomba game.

I thought I'd read (info might be inaccurate now, seemed to change daily for a while) that you need to reset and wipe the card. If not then I don't see why you'd need a third card at all.

Man, the 4GB card I ordered from Play-Asia on Monday will be here tomorrow but my Vita from NCSX won't be here until Tuesday. #firstworldproblems

Yeah, in the West the licenses are scattered among different companies.

Is there any way to do online in LoA? Not sure if it's even an MP game but I'm almost certainly sold on it.

At least its not the other way around ..

Yeah, I am actually pretty glad that my card is getting here first. Sounds like the system is fairly useless without one.

Ok playing around with the vita and figuring out the best way to reset.
You don't need a card in to reset so two memory cards seems to be the way to go if you want to switch between accounts, although it's a bit annoying.
The problem is that when you sign up your account is tied to the system, even if you don't have a memory card in. This means you need to do a full reset in order to change accounts, which means re-entering wi-fi passwords, account name and watching that movie over and over again.
It's annoying because the ability to sign out of one account and into another is there, Sony just seems to have locked it, which is slightly frustrating.

US PSN accounts still not work?
Is it possible that maybe the UMD to Vita passport system could be used for PS3 and Vita as well? Like buy a game on PS3 and then register it with the system and get the Vita version at a special price.
I think it would sort of make sense, either this or a download voucher of some kind I guess.
Double dipping will fail unless there is some kind of system in place I think.

It shouldn't work for now because Vita US PSN won't switch on till near US launch.
Well, they work, but no store access.

Are those online shots or are those AI party members?
AI party members, there's no online play. In the PSP version you can use ad-hoc party, but in the Vita version the only multiplayer you have is the normal ad-hoc...

Ah, still cool though. I like it when the PSO/MonHun type of games allow you to roll around with an AI posse.
Yeah, it's definitely better than running around alone, but I'm really irritated that one of the English sites spread the false information that the game has online play... That was one of the main reasons I bought it in the first place.
It would be good if more PSVita games supported online so there would be no need for ad hoc party to support it :/ Don't want another PSP online situation again

Are full Vita games on the PSN Store at this moment?
Yeah, they're all on the Vita store. You can't access it from Media Go as far as I know, don't know about the PS3.
Argh, I have 4 kids - all will want to play this, so my best option is 5 mem cards (1 for each of us) but each time someone else wants to play I have to do a factory reset as well as have 5 flamin cards!?
oh dear sony

Question (not sure if it is already asked): is it true that the wi-fi only model lacks the GPS function???
If so, a wi-fi model won't be able to play games like Monster Radar, right? A couple of websites are telling this, I want to be sure which version to buy (don't care about 3G connectivity, but I will like to be ablet to play any game I want).

Yeah, the WiFi-only model doesn't have a real GPS. I think it's checking the position based on IP or something, but I don't remember the details.

oh oh... that leads to a second question: are the PS Vitas tied (locked) to any 3G operators? Or will I be able to use a simcard from any operator I wish? Is this also true for the upcoming NA version?
correct, it's not possible for wifi to have exact GPS, they have to triangulate your position from the provider.
not sure how the games will work with it.
They are currently locked to the JP carrier, but their was a rumor or something that said it may be unlocked at some point.
No one knows yet if this is true or not for US/JP
Do we know for sure that it doesn't work with Vita?

Are there any good PSP games on the Japanese store that have English language audio/text??

You should try SFZ3. Not all in English but it's a great 2d fighter that should scale decently.
That's what was written in a Q&A, I can't check that.
Not really a rumour - it's written in the Vita FAQ that they're looking into it, but it's locked to docomo at the moment.

one question, are all the PSV games available as download, and if so, can you download them? Because I believe they will be much cheaper than importing retail, right? However, I am not sure if the store would accept US credit cards...
Castor Krieg

Yes, they are all available for download on JP PSN store. No, you cannot use US credit card.
As has been answered (even on this thread page...) - yes. You can buy them, you can download them but you can't use a CC other than a Japanese one to pay for them (you'll have to buy points for paying in the PS Store online). Yes, the games are cheaper than in some stores and definitely cheaper than the recommended retail price.
Edit: Ninja'd.
