PS Vita Firmware Turns Portable Device into PS3 Controller

September 3 2012 , Written by wells Published on #ps3 wireless controller, #wii remote plus controller, #dualshock 3 wireless controller for ps3

Because of a PS Vita firmware update recently released by dualshock 3 wireless controller for ps3 , users is now able to turn the handheld device into a controller because of their PS3, along with apply it to experience many PSOne Classics games.

Firmware version 1.80 allows for the Wii U-esque utility, and a volume of other functions, including, at last, the possibility for d-pad menu navigation. Now, ps3 wireless controller owners can enable the d-pad in settings for replacements from the handheld’s menus, that was heretofore touchscreen display screen-only. The unit’s maps and internet browser are already enhanced likewise, using the additions of a jump-to-top button, the opportunity to utilize the rear touchpad to scroll, plus a new search bar in the top-left corner.

But what may very well be the genuine selling point (well, maybe for many of us) could be the access this update provides for us to your amount of PSOne games available these days for download. Such titles include Tomb Raider, Wild Arms, Twisted Metal, Arc the Lad, Final Fantasy VII, Jet Moto, Syphon Filter, Cool Boarders 2 and Hot Shots Golf 2.

Joystiq notes that two games, Cho Aniki and funds Idol Exchanger, PSOne imports published by MonkeyPaw, are downloadable (with Cho Aniki up to now confirmed as playable) towards the wii remote plus controller . Neither, they report, is on either an official Sony or MonkeyPaw listing of supported games. (FYI: in the event you’re the kind that loves weirdness, you’re about to would like to get the hands on Cho Aniki.)

Conversely, Joystiq also reports that Um Jammer Lammy, another unlisted game, is not available for the Vita, demonstrating that although not all PSOne games are accessible within the handheld, some are but merely haven’t been listed.
