Author If the PSP does get downloadable PS One games...

....which would you want to play?

As for me, I'd love to see the following PS One titles playable on the PSP:

Assault Rigs
Blasto
Colony Wars
Crash Bandicoot
Crash Team Racing
Die Hard Trilogy
Einhander
Jumping Flash
Loaded
PaRappa
Poy Poy
Return Fire
Roll Away
Roscoe McQueen
Shipwrecked
Spyro the Dragon
Team Buddies
Treasures of the Deep

Most of them are early titles that would work just fine with a single stick.
If the frame rates were improved and the textures smoothed, it would be nice
to revisit them in a handheld version. I guess the only question is, how
much would people be willing to pay to download an 8-10 year old game? And
will Sony let us store it on a Memory Stick, or will we need a new version
of the PSP with an internal flash memory/hard drive?

The ones I'd like to see the most would be games I don't already own on
PlayStation, such as the following:

The Raiden Project (difficult to find, and would play great in
vertically-oriented mode by rotating PSP 90 degrees)
Vib-Ribbon (never released in the US, and PSP's MP3 capabilities could be
applied here)
Return Fire (I own this on PC, but it would make a great handheld game)
Einhander
The Adventures of Lomax

There aren't too many games that I own that I'd be willing to rebuy just to
play on PSP. Of the ones I do own, I'd go with:

Crash Team Racing
Extreme Pinball (if they added high score saving)
Tempest X3
NanoTek Warrior
N2O: Nitrous Oxide

I believe the plan is to store these games on Memory Stick. Many PlayStation
games didn't come close to using the whole disc. In many cases, much of the
storage was used by music and full-motion video, which could be compressed
to bring down the file size.

I'm hoping for X-com and the original Silent Hill myself. Remember though,
it's a emulator, so don't expect any great improvement.

Yeah, you just store them on the memory stick, which are quite big these
days. Apparently though you can also either download them via PC or PS3, and
keep them there, too.
