New PSOne downloads in Japan, new PSP firmware everywhere

Sony has dropped nine more PSOne games into Japan's PlayStation Store. The process is still tedious, the files still only playable on PSP (and only downloadable with a PlayStation 3). A new PSP firmware update (v3.03) is required to play the newest oldies; and although the update is available for all to install, it's useless to those outside of Japan -- or those in Japan without access to PS3's PlayStation Network.

Here's a rundown of the PSOne games you won't be playing on your PSP today:

• Dino Crisis

• Gekitotsu Toma L'Arc: L'Arc-en-Ciel vs Tomarunner

• Global Force: Shin Sentou Kokka

• Migi Hadari U-SA

• Migi Hadari USA

• Mr. Driller

• R-Type

• Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure

• Taiyou no Shippo: Wild, Pure, Simple Life

• The Conveni: Anomachi o Dokusenseyo
