This evening I played Velocity and Surge until my battery died. I had the brightness down and headphones on too.

Fuck you futurlab, making me play games all evening.

For mentioning your nick in their trailer, you owe it to them :P
 
these few posts above really made me very sad about the absolute lack of useful apps (and apps in general) on Vita.

smh@Sony
 
Those two screenshots also re-rendered PSP polygons with higher resolution, so it's more like HD remaster.
While I agree that Vita could do this, I am really doubting that Sony would enable this, since the industry is trying to regard re-rendering at higher resolution as an added "value".
(To simply put, they'll rather release re-mastered version as the different title).

It is rumored that Sony has already giving PSP re-mastering engine to third party devs. Of course it is just a rumor so we'll see..

It's not rumored. It's confirmed. SCEJ has the PSP Remaster program which is just that, the problem is for some dumbass reason it seems to be only tied for PS3. I suspect they might have a Vita version, but it's not a publicized thing.
 
Here is a code for PSASBR in the US, can't use it with my EU account on the region-locked Vita (yeah, I know, I can reset the Vita and switch to US)

More apps are definitely welcome. It can't be stated enough how great the youtube app is.

Also Wake Up Club looks really good from the screens we've seen but I don't like that it has trophies. An app like that doesn't need trophies or you being forced into using it in different ways if you're (slightly) a completionist.
 
huh..

Derrick maybe your Vita is broken/dying? you need to test some of the other PSone games that are knowing to not have any problems and see what is going on. (i heard of few Vita that got GPU issues..it's very rare tho)

That's my only PSP game though. I'm not going to send my Vita in for PSP problems though. Only if I start having problems with the OS or actual Vita games. I'm tired of having refurbished systems all of the time.

quite generous and I tried to snag it, but I am getting "the code you entered may not be correct or may be invalid, please check that you entered it correctly. (c2-13930-6)"
which i checked and I entered it correctly so I am gonna assume someone took it and hasn't said anything yet. Thanks for being generous in general though.
 
Is there any website that allows to buy PSN game codes?
 
gamestop has some (random choice to prove they do :P) if you live in the USA

unless you mean cards for your ps wallet then toto below has you covered

These are all the ones Gamestop has. Prices are exactly the same as on PSN, though (bummer)

Ah perfect, Leonas list is the one I was looking for. Awesome, thanks.

Edit: Does Gamestop offer this for different EU states as well?
 
Alright I tested out FF7 and did a little more in FF9.

7 runs almost flawlessly. There are a few flickering pixels here and there in some textures but nothing bad and not as much as 9 so far. I did most of the prologue in the reactor there.

I continued 9 from the first save point in Alexandria and there are no purple lines, I must have somehow merged this and FF Tactics PSP in my mind. But there are some areas with a lot of tiny flickering line-like pixels in the environment. It varies in the areas I've been in, some have quite a bit and some may have 1 or 2 very tiny ones. I chalk that up to emulation jank and nothing to really worry about.

I'm really interested in testing more PSP games so hopefully PS+ keeps giving 1 a month out.
 
It's just that the Xbox 1 version look better than the Vita version(I need to see more screens for a better judgment)

Why are you saying this? Observe:

I know about that. As a matter of fact Monster Hunter Portable 3 got remastered last year and has sold like 400K copies. What I'm saying is there may be a engine that let you port a PSP program into a Vita program, more like PhyreEngine let you convert PS3 game into a Vita game.

I bet Sony wishes they didn't make Monster Hunter the star of the PSP Remaster program, lol.

I have LBX W on Vita. It's a game also available on PSP, and on Vita it feels like a PSP game. It doesn't use the touch screen, is just a resolution boost with no AA applied, or support for the second analog stick at all, and it doesn't even use Vita's OS native keyboard. It feels like someone just tossed a PSP game into a machine and this is what it spit out.
 
So am I wrong to assume that we should be expecting the new PS+ announcement tomorrow? Unless SCEA wants to pull some shenanigans since the week after is christmas eve.

still not sure which is better. I remember the XB1 version looking better than that too back in the day, but maybe I'm just getting crazy.

Not sure..

We dont know for sure, but that would be my best bet as well.

Well of course you're going to remember it looking better than that. Its like that with all games that you haven't played in a long time. When it came out it looked amazing. And don't forget, that tiny screenshot is being GENEROUS for the Xbox version since you would have played it on a much bigger screen, while the Vita screenshot looks worse than it would on the Vita since you'll be playing it on a smaller screen.

Even with that said, one looks way better than the other even in those two screenshots, so I"m not sure what you mean by not seeing a clear winner in that comparison.
 
I really would like to do some Santa gifting with you guys, but that game code/region thing is really annoying. I'd like to gift someone a surprise game he doesnt own yet and want one to be gifted! Unfortunate that you cant get gift codes for PS1/PSP games. Lots of goodness to be gifted there.Man, I wish PSN had a steam like gifting option :(

Sites sell codes for some games, but not many games, unfortunately. :/
 
All I want for Christmas is SFxT for Vita. My recent "troubles" have left me dirt poor, heh.

Will send candy + cute pics of my dog + incredible surprise gift in exchange...

<3
 

Ah cool. Well I'd be up for something like that. EU would be a bit more tricky since I am not sure which country have the same codes in Europe :/ But the US gaffers at least, interest in a christmas gifting? I'd say we make a list of people wanting to participate, then randomize who needs to gift to whom and then gift a code of about the price of a $5,99 PS1 classic? (Or more if you DESPERATELY want to gift that $9,99 Vita game)

I'd be in.
