PS Vita Store Glitch Reveals Preliminary PSOne Emulation Support

Sony is taking its sweet time on adding PSOne emulation support to the PS Vita. While the company has promised that such functionality would be arriving “soon,” it’s still MIA — after several months and a slew of firmware updates. However, a glimmer of hope has appeared, albeit inadvertently.

A Reddit user discovered that Buzz Lightyear of Star Command — a member of the PSOne classics library — was downloadable from the EU PlayStation Store earlier today. On top of that, said user was also able to download and purchase the title. Upon launch, however, the error code “C1-2749-2” was displayed — indicating a corrupt download.

Despite the fact that this PSOne title is unplayable, it suggests Sony is prepping the Vita for an update, one that is hopefully not far off.
