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
