PS Vita v1.80 update now live

4.6
The first round of PSOne Classics is now available on the PS Vita. The 1.80 firmware update is now live, making available nine different PSOne titles on the PS Vita: Arc the Lad, Cool Boarders 2, Final Fantasy VII, Hot Shots Golf 2, Jet Moto, Syphon Filter, Tomb Raider, Twisted Metal 2 and Wild Arms.

Outside of the addition of PSOne Classics, v1.80 also adds the option for d-pad navigation. Users can go into settings and enable d-pad controls for menu navigation, which was previously touch screen-only. The PS Vita browser has been expanded, as well – all of which is demonstrated in the video below.

As always seems to be the case with Sony backwards compatibility, it's more complicated than release lists make it out to be. Two games from our previous download list, Cho Aniki and Money Idol Exchanger – both PSOne Imports published by MonkeyPaw – downloaded to Vita from our accounts. We've only tested Cho Aniki so far, but it runs. Neither of these games are on either Sony's or MonkeyPaw's list of supported games.

Um Jammer Lammy, another PSOne game missing from today's release list, was not downloadable on Vita, proving that not all PSOne games are active – but some that aren't listed are.

Blam Thought about buying it once decided to wait maybe I will soon


I can't decide whether to buy it or not.


dont buy this crap...


It's not crap. To you maybe. To me, i wanted it but it just so happened i lost interest in getting one short after its release due to me realizing i'd never play it as i never play my PSP Go. It's all depending on how you see yourself using it in the future. If you are planning on getting it, i'd just suggest sticking with the Cheaper Wi-fi version instead of 3G. You do NOT need to always be connected to the internet. If you wanted that, get a Smartphone unless you really loved playing your games online constantly


This just made my decision go towards buying it.


I dont like PS Vita, i think its horrible IMO
