Hey, how do you adjust the screen settings for the ps1 games? Someone said it looks best full screen with bi-linear filter on, but I can't find the option.

I really like the bubbles, but I agree that the PSP/PS1 bubbles suck.

The store has square icons for every PSP game that would look much better inside these bubbles then the tiny rectangles that don't even fit well.

The issue is they don't allow custom user icons or the icons have to be a set image limit, IIRC the PSP allowed custom images until a firmware update broke them and now they have to be the PSN store size (those "squares") to even load otherwise the CFW just throws up Dracula from SotN as an error message that your image is too big. :/

Man building custom boot/hovers for the XMB (which I wish they'd allow as an option on the PSP2. :() was amazing and had a whole site database dedicated to having games with art and boot images and the like for them.

Now we have the right left-right only assignment of right analog stick for PSP titles. I guess it's obviously for PSP version of monster hunter :)

Whoa, the brightness has 16 levels just like sound on iOS and OS X. Pretty sweet being able to control it with the directional pad now.

Thanks, just found this out. Disappointed that there isn't a way to just zoom it big enough so there is no gaps on top and bottom. Either that or zoomed to far in. Still SotN looks pretty on this.

I'm loving the rear scrolling in the web browser. No more screen-grease!

Does the Vita's PS emulator support analog controls, unlike the PSP one? I assume it does but you never know for sure with these people.

Only in that you can turn on analogue mode. Not switch it around/assign various bits to it....I'm hoping they expand with it and add some of the features the vita's psp emulator has.

G-Police
Wipeout
The Gex games
N20

All fantastic!

Not enough space for a final fantasy...still haven't chosen which one to play yet...

I don't understand what you're trying to say, but if the emulator has full analog control through the sticks and maps L2/R2 to the rear touch pad then it'd be perfect compared to the gimped PSP one.

Have you played a ps1 before?

there was an "analogue" button in the middle - switched to analogue on. That's all the ps1 emulator on psvita can do. Switches between inputting vita d-pad or analogue.

L2 and R2 are mapped to the rear touch pad. you can customise each button as well. you can't customise the analogue sticks or the touchscreen or the rearpad though.

I already deleted Super Stardust Delta and a few PSP games, but I now need to make the though decision of what to fill my last GB up with. Sony really needs to drop the memory card prices. I'd buy so many more PSP and PS1 games.

I just played some MGS and tried out the rear touch with it.

It's pretty neat feeling, although I'm sure anyone who's played MGS2 or 3 HD on Vita will tell me that's old news.

Yes I have, and I think I figured out what you were trying to say!

So the Vita emulator has a worthless software option to switch from digital to analog controls, mirroring the center button on the original Dual Shock controller? At least that answers my question that yes, the emulator uses analog controls unlike the PSP emulator, which is a huge upgrade. You wanted the ability to remap buttons to the sticks if the game doesn't support analog mode, but that probably won't be happening.

Are the L2 and R2 buttons mapped to the rear touch pad?

Yup. I was playing MGS just now and using the rear touch for inventory.

Hmmm... so I moved 9/13 games to the Vita.
Couldn't move any of the Crash games.

Wish we'd have a sale so I could buy a good # of other games I'm missing.

L2/R2 on the rear touch is genius.
Looked pretty good from what I played of Medieval too.

Are PS1 saves tied to the bubble like Vita games or are they independent, like PSP games?

Despite telling you not to buy Soul Reaver, I'm actually interested to see how it plays on the Vita with the rear touch mapping now. So many good games and no space for them.

Somebody talk me down from buying a 32 GB card. I want to download all of my games on my Vita since I won't be able to use my PS3 until December, but on the other hand, they are eighty dollars, and I mean, that's eighty dollars, which, no matter how I look at it, is still eighty dollars.

Wow this really does look nice. Only played ff 8 but was amazed at how nice the colors look. And I am playing it in wide mode too. Normally I prefer my ps games at 4:3 but I want to use my entire OLED screen!

Black Friday, my friend. They have to cave, or at least a retailer will.

Get 16gb? Thats what i'm highly considering right now. 4GB ain't cutting it at all for me and I had to delete some PSP games just to get others on there.

PSP, PS1, and Vita games put together? I could probably fit them on a 16 GB card, but I'd hate to buy another card and then be forced to upgrade a second time down the line.

Well, two 16GB cards is more than one 32GB on Amazon. If $80 seems a lot to you, then go with the 16GB. When Sony releases higher capacity cards/does an official price drop, sell the 16GB and put that towards the 32GB.

Good point. Deleting my Kenzan videos is going to hurt though. I don't know what I'll do when Retro City Rampage and Jet Set Radio HD roll around.

Is there a place that accepts used memory cards, or would my only option be to sell my memory card myself?

Looks like Atelier Totori for Vita was not a hoax after all. I think we'll see scans coming later today...

GameStop, but bleh. You could try to sell it on eBay or Amazon.
