PSP now able to play PSOne games

The Sony Portable PlayStation can now play PSOne games on the move after the surprise feature was included in the latest firmware update.

The option allows PSP users to stream games from a PSOne disc played on a PS3 via the Remote Play function, as long as both machines have access to a wi-fi internet connection.

In addition, PSP users can now play PSOne games purchased on the PlayStation Store.

Gamers trying out PSOne games on Sony's handheld, however, will need to alter the in-game controls as the PSP lacks the four shoulder buttons featured on the original PlayStation controller.
