Yes
Thought this would finally be my chance to play FF7 with a decent analog stick (PS3 is d-pad only, PSP you can remap so it does but the nub is thumb pain, PSP go with PS3 pad you can't remap at all). But nope. You can only map the d-pad buttons, face buttons and triggers. Can't believe they actually took that out from the PSP. Unless it's some top secret option I'm missing.
One day I'll actually get to replay this thing. One day.

yep like psp/psv/minis
Aso sony made me happy and quickly mad at the same time, you still have to start the game up wait a couple minutes close it down and copy the save into a memorycard created for the game >_>
I looked inside all the touch menu options (Controller Settings, Memory Card Utility, Other Settings, and Reset Game) but couldn't find anything for screenshots.
I'm just confused. :lol
Hmm...the plot thickens.
Only game I could get to transfer over was Castlevania Chronicles. I have a couple install bubbles and I even tried downloading Crash 1 again but that wouldn't transfer either.
I tried restarting my Vita/PS3 and still no go.
Eh, maybe I'm missing something, I'll trying fucking with it some more after work tomorrow.

Is it just me or did 1.8 alter the screen brightness? Mine seems much brighter but it's at the same level before I did the update.

Oh jeez, there's no longer a live area for notifications. I like how slick it looks now.
Seriously. So much better.
I'm disappointed they still didn't put a wifi option in the quick settings though
I feel it did the same for me :S

Quick non-ps1 question here but...
is there a good guide/procedure for cleaning off the vita screen and/or buttons
is there a good guide/procedure for cleaning off the vita screen and/or buttons
he must've lied to us only explanation for why klonoa has a capcom copyright
Haha, yeah, that is bizzare. So nobody else is able to take screenshots on their PS1 games?
Microfiber cloth is what I use.
Notifications looks the same to me? Not sure what you mean outside of them adding a "bubble" marker like a comic book to show it's coming from that. Or maybe that was there in the previous firmware update and I didn't notice since I have only had the hardware for a day.
Go to an opticians and buy a microfibre cloth and lens cleaning spray (the stuff I have is 1% Butyl Cellosolve).
Spray and wipe. I use this on all my portable devices, TV and laptop. Works a treat with no damage, just a perfectly clear screen.

I don't like to leave finger smudges on my screen, or at least as less as possible so this new control method is a blessing to me.
Well, you can't unlock the screen with buttons so you still have to smudge it a little. Kinda sad about that. =\
Either his system glitched or he ended up with a super secret dev firmware.
How exactly did you take that screen? D:
So hey, I've discovered a little trick to get the Megaman (and other import) PS games on your vita without a PS3 (for people like me).
Download Media Go on your computer
Log in to your PSN account
Buy Megaman 2 (or the import game you want)
Don't download it on your PC
Go to your PSN store on your Vita
Check your downloads
Download Megaman 2 directly to your Vita
I'm going to try and download The Legend of Dragoon via Media Go to my computer and then transfer it to the the Vita via the content manager. Will let people know how this goes.

On the PSP PS1 emulator, only certain PS1 games allowed screenshots. I'm sure that carried over to the Vita emulator.
I was playing the game. I held my finger on the touch screen until the menu pops up. The first option in the menu is "Screenshot". I tap that, the game "pauses" (not like the pause menu but more like a freeze) and it said "Would you like to take a screenshot of this area?" with a little thumbnail. I hit "yes" and it saved it.
I had no idea that you could take screenshots of PS1 games on PSP.
MediaGo doesn't work with Vita.
It seems you're right, but the Megaman 1-4 trick worked like a charm, so I'm happy.
Edit: I'll eventually borrow a PS3 from someone so buying Dragoon isn't a loss for me

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
It's amazing how Vagrant Story is pretty much the best looking game on Playstation, such a technical masterpiece, and the game's only 90mb.

Yeah, the first time I saw the option was when I bought Cyberbots. I was like WTF!
Hmm, let's see what watermark shows up for Cyberbots! LOL
Game is sexy looking on this screen!
Okay, the mystery of screenshots is solved. I had no idea you could do that with some of the PSone games on PSP since I just used custom firmware with universal screenshot functionality whenever I wanted to take captures.
Thanks, this was very descriptive. I'm sorry for making you type it all out.
Dat FF7 blue menu screen @_@
I actually don't mind the PS1 bubbles that much. They're a whiter shade. The PSP ones just look terrible though.

After looking back at it, I think the default wallpapers were modified. The wave itself seems lighter.

Kinda sad that with rear pad support in the browser, you can't zoom in on things. That's still front touch only. ):
I agree! nobody else does ;_;
I do like the look of them, though. They look a lot more slick.

Heh good thing I told my bro to get a 32 GB off the bat...shame I didn't tell him to call me before buying his Vita tho, I mean UMvC3?
Hopefully US PSN will have a Vita sale in coming weeks I wanna fill that 32GB with some goodness.
ATM I'm playing the PSP game Crimson Gem Saga, so far a normal JRPG, but the dialog is really good
, music is good too.
Alas my bro's leaving for UK so he'll be taking the Vita with him in a couple of weeks. No biggy as I can still access my US PSN account to get him goodies...too bad he has zilch knowledge of video game titles and franchises =V
Oh and touching+holding a section of the screen while playing a PSP or PSX game brings up the options huh? Was wondering how you access those lol.
