They are apparently tossing around 40 titles around, and will soon be posting a list on Capcom-Unity for vote. LINK. Expect Street Fighter and Resident Evil titles, maybe more.

This is awesome news, hopefully other publishers will follow Capcom's lead. The NA PSX library is absolute shit when compared with the Japanese one.

It is on ps2, but unfortunately its not online, here in the states anyway. Thats why I'm hoping for the psp iterations.

SF alpha would be nice, same with the EX series or even Rival Schools.

You can play the PSP games online via some beta party software on PSN in Japan.

I expect that will be available in future.

Bump.

Resident Evil Director's Cut and Metal Gear Solid are in the pipe line. Fuck yes.

Using the Japanese PSN I have bought and beat both of the games on my long commute to work. Both games work really well and look great on the PSP screen. I can play MGS over and over and over.

RE Director's Cut should be out today.

I'm anxiously awaiting MGS, though there's no date on it yet.

I haven't done any of this PSN stuff, but can someone explain to me why you wouldn't just load the PSX discs you already own of MGS1 and RE1 onto your psp? Why buy them a second time?

According to kotaku the ESRB just confirmed Final Fantasy VII was coming to the PSN as well. Makes sense, considering Advent Children comes out on Bluray this week.

Also, I really wish Capcom would put Strider 2 up.

FFVII is out today (technically yesterday..).

I just grabbed it but it's 1.32GB, so my puny 1GB memory stick is not going to hold it. Time to order a bigger one I guess..

There are so many good PSX games out there, here's hoping we keep getting this much love in the future. I want Einhander and Front Mission 3.

I think Xenogears is on the Japanese PSN, I'd like to see that come out over here. Never got to play that one.

Excellent game, and that would be a killer edition to the North American lineup.

I just ordered an 8GB memory stick. The prices have come way down.

Still no word on Metal Gear Solid, but it's coming soon I hope.

I'd do that if I already had the game, but for those I don't this provides a nice option because getting psx games to work on the psp 100% can be a major pain in the ass....

Metal Gear Solid is coming June 18!

Still holding out for RE2. I bought RE1 Capcom, so give me what I really want..

What other PSX games would you guys like to see get ported?

Shit, I'd buy RE2 in a second. I've played it, but I don't own it, and I haven't played it since it came out. I tried to find the DC version for a long time for a decent price, but I never did.

I grabbed FF VII. Sadly, as my mem stick is only 2 gig's, I cant fit anything else currently.

I would like to see Silent Hill, Einhander, RE2/3, Parasite Eve, and any other good PSX hori shmups released on PSN.

Street Fighter Alpha 2 hit PSN last week. If it has online I'll consider buying it.

I want to see Legend of the Dragoon come to PSN. I never had the chance of completing that game since the fourth disc fucked up on me. I want another crack at that game.

this would be more exciting if it wasnt for custom firmware.:(

i wish there was a way to legitly rip ps1 games to the ps3 and transfer them to the psp (rather than remote play.)
