PlayStation Vita’s newest firmware update -- 1.80 -- is now live. It comes in at 102 MB in size and should prove to be a quick download over wi-fi. Of course, you could always download it even quicker by connecting your Vita to your PlayStation 3.
Update 1.80 brings with it a few fixes, but it’s most notable for “turning on” the Vita’s ability to play PSone Classics. This is great news, as there are scores and scores of PSone Classics available on the PlayStation Store.
However, it seems there’s a regional discrepancy between North America and Europe in terms of which PSone Classics are available for download on the Vita. The North American PlayStation Blog only lists nine games that will be available. The European PlayStation Blog, on the other hand, lists 129 games.
The reason for this major discrepancy is unknown, though it appears it could be an error on Sony’s part. The items are clearly listed on the PlayStation Blog (see picture below), but some Twitter users are reporting that unlisted games work just fine. The games listed on the Blog are likely the only ones available for purchase directly from your Vita, but games purchased on the PlayStation 3 and transferred to Vita may work, too. We’ve reached out to Sony to clarify the situation.
Update 1.80 also gives you the ability to control menus without the touch screen, great for those of us who are constantly dirtying our OLED screens. To do so, go to Settings, then System, and finally Control with Buttons on PS Vita.
