are you looking for an answer other than 'all of the ps1 games they offer' or is there another ps1 store somewhere

Super No Vacancy posted:are you looking for an answer other than 'all of the ps1 games they offer' or is there another ps1 store somewhere Some PS1 classics were flagged to not be buyable and directly download on Vita. I believe Metal Gear Solid was one, because changing controllers for that one mandatory fight was reasonable on a ps3 and not at all intuitive on the vita. You had to buy for PS3, download, and then transfer from there to play on Vita (and then know what you were doing when you got to that part). I have no idea what the full list of such games is though.

There's a good list of games on the PS3 subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/PS3/comments/6ym1li/ps3_exclusivesnonpc_multiplatform_games_list/ No PS1/PSOne Classics, sadly. Super No Vacancy posted:honestly dlc might be the bigger issue because who knows how many disc based games thats going to apply to. sony forfeiting a bunch of goodwill to microsoft rn Since the PS3/360 generation was the first one to fully introduce the concepts of DLC and patches, it's gonna be real complicated for anyone that is trying to archive PS3 software. Say you have an original retail copy of Lair a decade from now that you want to check out. You're stuck with Sixaxis controls because the patch that implements analog stick controls is no longer available! That may be an extreme example but there's plenty of games that got big patches after release and they didn't always make it into new disc releases.

Here's the list of PS1 stuff that has issues with a PS Vita. North American versions, not sure what discrepancies exist for European and Asian accounts: Can't download directly but works if you transfer them from a PS3 Arcade Hits: Shienryu Arcade Hits: Sonic Wings Special Art Camion Sugorokuden Blockids Burst Angel Castlevania Chronicles Cho Aniki Command & Conquer: Red Alert Cool Boarders Dezaemon Plus! Dezaemon Kids! Finger Flashing GaiaSeed Galaxy Fight International Track and Field Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver Lup*Salad Makeruna Makendo 2 Metal Gear Solid Money Idol Exchanger Pandemonium Rapid Angel Silent Hill Tall Unlimited Umjammer Lammy Zanac X Zanac These games are blocked from download and transfer, but they will work if you can get them on there (Sony screwed up the white list once and you could get these games on there during that short window) Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain Bloody Roar Bloody Roar 2 Command & Conquer Crash Bandicoot Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back Crash Bandicoot: Warped Crash Team Racing Future Cop: LAPD Motor Toon Grand Prix Myst Pocket Fighter Sim Theme Park Spyro The Dragon Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage Spyro: Year of the Dragon Star Wars Dark Forces Vehicle Cavalier

It’s super garbage that when a PSP game goes unlisted, the Vita won’t download it anymore. It still works by downloading to a PS3 then transferring but it’s a bullshit extra step that requires another piece of old rear end hardware

Wait that doesn’t make sense. Why would you being unable to sync your system clock to a server prevent you from launching your purchased and downloaded games? Excluding poo poo that has to be played online of course

The idea appears to be that the system checks the internal clock for license validation when you launch a game, and the CMOS keeps that clock calibrated. If this check fails (because the CMOS died, say), the system next checks Sony's online servers to make sure the digital title is registered to your account. If both are kaput, there's no provided bypass to the lock.

Gutcruncher posted:Wait that doesn’t make sense. Why would you being unable to sync your system clock to a server prevent you from launching your purchased and downloaded games? Excluding poo poo that has to be played online of course This probably isn't 1:1 with how it works but there are some interesting things that happen with the internal clock in various digital Sony consoles. For example, you know when you pre-load a game and there's that countdown timer? You don't actually need to be internet connected for the unlock to happen, the console will do it on its own when the correct time crosses over. I think the consoles all use some version of time_t. With time_t basically the clock counts the number of seconds that have passed since a specific point in time, generally midnight Jan 1st 1970 GMT. Then it works out various things like what time your console is set to (it does math on this counter to give it to you in a way you can understand). When you have a digital game preloaded it works by saying "this game is playable once the time_t is greater than or equal to this number" which corresponds to midnight on the Tuesday of release or whatever, and similarly with stuff like PS+ games and similarly time-limited stuff it has a setting on the opposite end which makes the software only playable if time_t is less than a certain value (whenever your PS+ membership expires). This is also why changing the clock on your system doesn't actually alter the unlock time, it's still looking at the time_t value that is, for lack of a better term, hard-coded, with all your system-level clock fuckery just telling the console how to interpret and offset the time_t value that's there. Because for various security reasons (including massive paranoia against another potential PSN hack) the software is heavily locked down so it has to make sure everything's on the up-and-up for the game in question to be launchable, which is also why you can have a game installed but not launchable (because it was installed with a different account or whatever). The lockdown on disc-based games is unusual, though. This might not necessarily be intentional but more the whole thing about things on a computer going completely wild if the clock gets hard reset so it thinks it's January 1970 or whatever, that always makes bad things happen. Or maybe the discs had some sort of minimum time implementation as their own security check for one reason or another.

Custom firmware on vita is extremely convenient and has virtually no downsides, you don't get banned for going online like with the PS3.

So when your cmos battery dies, will you be able to just pop in a new one and reset your clock and be okay, or does it force you to reconnect to PSN first? Edit: oh gently caress in order to transfer games from PS3 to psp or vita you have to connect to psn. Downloading everything you’ve ever bought on your PS3 might not be as long term as solution as I’d hoped. Gutcruncher fucked around with this message at 01:48 on Mar 23, 2021 |

If you have a set mind about avoiding PSN, this is a pain but do things this way (on an ethernet-connected PSTV if you have one, ideally) - Download to PS3 - Transfer to Vita - Use "Content Manager" on your Vita to backup your installs to a PC I'm not sure how implicated PSN is with this method for future restores from the PC.

when a company stops supporting a system it's basically a flashing sign that says "pirate the games! it's free and fun!" so i don't mind too much when they shut down the servers. i'd rather them not do that, but 🤷♀️ if the system isn't hackable it's much worse of course. but for vita, ehhhh it just means i'll have another few months playing games that looked fun but didn't seem worth the asking price

That's for the 3G model of Vita. Amazon Canada at least seems to have a bunch of the Vita card-style ones. Not sure on their quality, they're like $11cad-ish.

I'm still baffled that they ported Princess Crown to PS4 and made it exclusive to a 13 Sentinels pre-order bonus and never put it on the Network standalone in or outside of Japan.

Same with the PS4 port of Ace Combat 5 that was a pre-order bonus with 7 and was never released separately. At least that wasn't Japan exclusive I guess.
