Vita Firmware 1.80 announced for this summer, will have PS1 games support
Sony announced today that they will bring Playstation 2 support to the PS3, as part of their “game archives” program, on July 25. 5 games will be initially made available (including one of the Resident evil games, as well as Siren), for prices going between 800 yen and 1500 yen (roughly between 10 and 20 dollars).
The announce also states, in small characters, as if it were an anecdote, that the Playstation Vita will support PS1 classics as part of its 1.80 firmware update, scheduled for “some time in summer” (as was previously announced)
In related news, some users have spotted a silent 1.691 update of the Vita firmware recently.

“PS Vita users can already enjoy PC Engine games. Playstation Games support is planned to start this summer with firmware 1.80 and above”
Unfortunatly updatingto 1.69 now… location kentucky USA
Why are you updating
As always, Sony can never give a decent date.
I don’t want to be annoying but, you think we can get a release for “Tony’s” PSP CFW on this firmware?
amen to that,…
News about Tony’s kxploit were good tho! But it’s hard to say when he should release the kxploit. I mean if Sony still Updates the Funktions of the Vita then we’re probably wasting an kxploit……, but for now i don’t see any useful Updates…
PSX and PCEngine Support would work on a CFW too….
heh, orginal firmware hasn’t been cracked yet, doubting their giving us an update with bigger “holes” :->
@cc , I havn’t gotten lucky enough to get hbl on my vita yet, I still have a GO for that… I want to keep one legit vita… albeit the lack of great games I want to keep this one legit… all my other systems are hacked and I like being able to get online with it… when easier access to homebrew and such is available and the price comes down I will get another…. My vita is my phone… I don’t have a cell.

does this mean only the digital copies downloaded from PSN?
how about the CD?
Only the digital copies.
Wait…is Japan just now getting PS2 support? Because I thought the US could already play PS2 games downloaded off of PSN.
*** Sony my uncle has a ps2 and a lots of games because of me and i prefer to buy ps2 instead download in euro,it’s so much cheaper to download or copy my uncle games for me to play anything i want.If they release those games with something new that will be great but it’s only the same thing but for ps vita.
I DO hope that sony makes the mistake of rendering a pops loader for these games and open a window for futher development without kernel access :->
I thought the ps3 already played ps2 discs. So now they will have them digital also, or is that the only way now? Digital ps2 games should of been done a long time ago and available for vita.
Very few ps3s play ps2, only phat models with ps2 hardware built inside… no emulation is used for the play of ps2 games…..
I am still on 1.67 in case when some decides to release a good kxplot for the psp emulator, it will probably be on older firmwares first.
Thats the right idea… my view is that sony dosn’t increase security untill a flaw has been found and exploited, thats why ps3s were good to go till 3.55 was hacked… it was up to date with psn for a little while untill they became “aware”
I’m pretty sure this is referring to the rumored “cloud gaming service,” which will be a subscription service allowing you to play PS2 titles online, instead of downloading them to your PS3, kind of like that old-school online gaming site. Which is to say that we won’t be seeing anymore PS2 classics through the PSN.
Judging by the webpage, it looks like the titles available to play online will change every month.
@wololo The title says ps1 but in the traslated part ,you have it saying pc engine,
doesn’t that mean turbo graffix 16 emulator ?
They mention both pc engine and the ps1. Both are part of the games archives program, but currently only pc engine games are playable on the vita.
TurboGrafx 16 was the North American/UK version of the PC Engine.
I heard the update wont be out till late august early September.
hey wololo can you find a way to downgrage the vitas firmware but if you are unable to cn you tell me how to test games to find out if they are exploitable and can you also find out how to copy vita games that was downloaded by someone else because i have downloaded super collapse 3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?bjbwpb7u88bwrc1)
and my vita wont let me copy it…
so you want us to help you pirate a game….. yea I’ll get right on that
(BTW downgrading wont help you use it as its not signed to your profile)
Hi
You can’t downgrade your vita, sorry about that.
You need psp (modded) to find game exploits and you can’t play pirated games on vita 😀
LOL
yo wololo can you help me by finding a way to fix a bricked psp go because i tried all the button combos and nothing seems to be working and i dont have permanent custom firmware so i cant use recovery menu (ps i think it has something to do with flash 0 because i found a tutorial on youtube on how to change a gameboot (this vid contains what i did but instead of the game loading my psp turned off and i cant start it again even now!!!… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWpTIjW8c7o&feature=related) but when i loaded a game it bricked my psp go pls help!!!
yea only Sony can fix that >__>
when you fix it,use cmxb from now on so you dont brick it
and for future note dont touch flash on non-Pandora motherboards
you can git a new pspgo motherboard on flee-bay
lol you mean CXMB?

erlkio- I think I can help you! But I’m not 100% sure. Please look at my video of my old psp slim. Here’s the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a4EKwhlNYQ&feature=plcp
psp go cant use pandora batterys
So I take it you guys missed the re-release of v1.69, it was on a few days ago but an error came up but yesterday low and behold it worked for me. I wonder if this is because games were not working…the Escape Plan demo which they took off the PSN failed to work….$ony $ony $ony Someone else on the forums stated their PSN Gravity Rush failed to work after buying it…it’s be how many days now since this firmware released?
Not buying Escape Plan until that demo comes back to see if it works…
Wow, it has me thinking about updating.. Back to the PSP for homebrews?… I think not. 😉
God i hate “digital library” and Sony trying to scum as for ever more money, so what am i going to do with my 20+ original PS2 games which I would love to play on PS3 and not on my PS2? Bastards…..
If the Vita can emulate PS2, I’m pretty darn sure that would make it very enticing…lots of memories on the pS2…
Yeah, I might lose VHBL over this deal.. :/
Don’t get the article wrong. PS3 will get ps2 support, Vita will only get PS1.
it will be good if vita and ps3 gets ps1 and ps2 support… more money from them…
PS1 classics…hahaha. $ony is crazy, don’t buy into this people. Old old old games & not even the good one’s like Pocket Fighter, resold at a high price.
But yet no PS2…ps3 which already should have it but they took the emulator away. lol
Buy a PS2 if you want to play your PS2 games so badly, or PC, the amount of complaining over Backwards comparability jesus…
Then again I can’t carry my PS2 on the train… that’s kind of why emulation on the psp was so attractive in the first place
Wololo you know, if the scene will liberate tonys kernel exploit for this update, or we will wait more time??
That is entirely up to him, he didn’t give me any specific date
I really love some of the old PS1 games, but I’ll be fooked if I’m paying for them again just so I can play them on the Vita! I’ll just stick to using my trusty old PSP1000 and convert them myself. Yet another cash in technique from Sony. Where is their loyalty to some of us that have been buying their games for the past 18 years?
Do you at least know that PS1 games bought on your account are free then on even for the vita? Probably not.
Hey I know this isn’t the right place to be asking this, but does anybody know how to update the ps vita from 1.06 to 1.67 because I had to get a new ps vita since my other one got messed up.
wololo does the 1.69 update on ps vita support the ps1 games?… and i don’t know how can I put the games on vita can you help me?… how to put ps1 games on vita?..
What is the point of 1.691?
