Lali ho!

Having finished FF7 Remake and finding myself with nothing to do, I figured I'd buy my Vita some fresh blood. Looking at a few old PSP games I loved back in the day and some of them I'm getting mixed reports on whether or not they'll work right on Vita. Does anyone have an up to date list of PSP games that are CONFIRMED to work without issue? The versions available on the UK PSN Store. Especially Afterburner Black Falcon and Burnout Legends? My scan through the forums implied it may or may not have been patched, and there's basically no useful Vita footage on YouTube, all recorded via emulator with horrendous sound issues that may or may not occur, I just don't know.

If anyone can help with this before I burn the last of my cash on a game that might not work, I'd be most grateful.

Also, is there any way short of hacking to acquire Outrun 2006 Coast To Coast these days? I hear it met the same fate as Ace Combat X and got de-listed over some licensing issues. Is there a solution or do I need to get a hacked PSP from somewhere?

If you want to be kosher playing your PSP games you might as well get a PSP and not a Vita then as homebrew is the best way to play PSP on the Vita.

If I had a PSP I'd hack it and bypass this issue entirely. Not to mention that I'd gain access to de-listed games like Outrun, Ace Combat and Crisis Core. Sadly finding an old PSP 1000 model (I hate the revised models, they feel slimy) that's running a firmware low enough to hack without incident is a little tricky. Plus I'd hack it to save cash 'cause it's not exactly abundant while on lockdown, and finding a working PSP at any reasonable price is proving quite the hurdle.

Every PSP model on the latest Firmware can be hacked in a matter of seconds. You can buy whatever model you want.

    Some shovel ware with low ratings you might enjoy more than the ratings would sugest

    The trick for me was to go into the settings and crank up the Wiimote sensitivity to the max and it gets twitchy but you can win that way lol
