"Never said I wasn't a hypocrite."
Is it that thin black outline around the bubbles? The bubbles were always pretty jaggy imo but I'm just now noticing an extra outline around them. They may have sacrificed some AA to speed up the OS.

Yeah that's what I'm talking about. It always looked a little odd, but now it's almost like it's been highlighted.
 
I like that there's a nice level of button customisation when playing PSone games, but it's disappointing that when selecting custom you can't map buttons to the right stick or touch pad (which also means that if you want to swap R1/L1 with R2/L2 you're basically sacrificing L1 and R1.

Being able to map R2/L2 to specific directions on the right stick would be fantastic, for instance. It would make something like Soul Reaver infinitely more playable.

Sucks I have to redownload all ps1 games except chrono trigger, oh well at least its going fast.

Yep..definitely hoping for some improvements here. But it's alright mostly, it was a bonus itself that it's possible on the psp emulator.

I didn't catch this. I guess I'm setting my alarm for 6 AM.

I hate it when I'm away for a few days. Miss so much here.

Props to SCEE. lol SCEA.

So what's the best way to get PS1 games on my Vita, considering I'm in the EU?

You see I deleted MGS and FFIX thinking that I would have to redownload them after the firmware update. Should I now redownload them straight to my Vita or download them on the PS3 and transfer them over?

I don't think they are available from the download list from what I've been reading...I've been transferring them fine from ps3.

Dunno if it's been mentioned but Asda are selling FIFA for £15. Bargain.

Thought I'd give UK-Vita-GAF a heads up, even if I'm the only member.

New Fifa releases in 2 or 3 months. Should be below 10 fire sale soon.

Ah, right! I'm not up on the FIFA games. I grabbed it, switched off all touch functionality, switched the controls to '2 buttons' and had a bit of a giggle with it. Might look into the new one because although I'm not normally into football games, they're pretty cool on a portable.


Oi. I'm UK-Vita-GAF :p

I hate football.
Our ranks swell!

Same here!

I really like my vita, but why can't they fix this stupid firmware problem. Really wanted to play FF9 today on my vita.
 
How are you guys getting your PSone games on your Vita? When I go to the Download list it just says "Cannot download using a PS Vita system." Trying to play Final Fantasy IX.

Need to download some PSOne games for this thing.

I meant that my Vita got bricked by the firmware update. As in completely. So I'm screwed for quite a long time :(

So sorry to hear. :-(

Was your battery low or something? I updated mine twice in one day (new Vita->1.69->1.80) and luckily it's fine.

I'll be all over the 32GB if its $50 or less!

That would be amazing. I have a 32GB arriving tomorrow... paid $80. Eighty freakin' dollars.

Thanks guys. So the reartouch is ONLY for scrolling? Kinda shitty, oh well. Pretty dumb that you can hit O to remove the apps but can't unlock the Vita when turning it on. Who's the genius that didn't thought of this?

Yup, when that happened i was:
Sony, you're so stupid for forgetting this. there goes the don't touch the screen to keep it clean. Also no buttons on the store doesn't help also.

And, let's put out the update today, say that the main thing is psone games but i go to the store and no psone games to buy. Brilliant! >_<
Guess only when SCEE updates the store tomorrow on the afternoon. there goes the hype for today. it sucks.

LOL!

Stealth update:

Exiting and entering the friends app again doesn't make you sit through the "connecting to PSN" or whatever screens anymore.

Wow. I'm very happy about this update so far overall.

OMG YOU CAN DELETE ALL MESSAGES NOW! YES!

Kind of irritated me too. You'd think they would be able to update that today. I'd imagine they'll lose out on some sales waiting until tomorrow.

I'm still kinda hoping they put up more than 9 PS1 games tomorrow. But... they won't.

I really want Silent Hill. Never finished the first one, and would be fun to play on Vita screen with headphones on.

Don't tell me that or i'll cry T___T
I really hope they put the complete list of psone games. At least the one Andrefvps posted here. Because if they only put 9 games there, i'll be a sad kitty ;_;

because not every vita user has a ps3, and it's already kinda bad i can't play darkstalkers or valkyria 2 because they aren't on the store but if i had the ps3 i could easily play them on the vita.
Somethings from sony i just can't understand. sometimes i think they don't want to get money from their clients

That's how I'm feeling right now. So many improvements that make the experience that much better. I personally wasn't waiting for PS1 BC (my PSP is for that), but it was still a very good update.

Guys, it feels like we waited for so long but it was worth the wait :D

There are still things they could add and improve, but I honestly didn't expect them to add this much with this update.

Another UK-Vita here.
And i hope you didn't turn off the rear touchpad option, its pad=goal shooting method is the biggest revolution in footie games since the analogue stick. I'm not even kidding.

I did, yeah. I hate the rear touchpad with a burning passion. Just can't get on with the thing. I can tell the game is 'punishing' me for turning it off though.

Wait, my browser back-touch scrolling doesn't work :/

You need to turn it on? Where?

EDIT: nvm, found it
Holy shit, incredible. Thank you based Sony
