No sorry, but Sony have said they are aiming to make as many compatible as possible. Heres a list of all the initially compatible games.
I found this FAQ which answers a few questions but I'm not sure if this is the definate answer you were looking for. It says (about half way down):
Q: Is PS Vita compatible with other PlayStation platform games like ...

From this Gamespot article
The PSP-3000 plays the same games and offers the same media support as the older PSP models
So all the games are backwards compatible.
From Wikipedia
the PSP-3000 ... has an improved LCD screen with an increased color range, five times the contrast ratio, half the pixel response time to reduce ghosting and blurring ...

Yes you can play PSP games online with the PS Vita so long as the servers are still up and running.
Also, apparently if the original PSP game supported Ad Hoc mode, Ad Hoc mode will work on the PS Vita as well.

Copying your PSP save data
Plug your PSP into your PC with a Mini USB cable (the kind that fits into the top of your PSP) and select the USB Connection option in the PSP System menu.
The PSP should show up as a connected drive in your My Computer menu. It's probably called "Removable Disk" if you're on Windows. Open that drive and navigate to the PSP ...

AFAIK it's the same with better graphics, picture gallery and the ability to share fishing minigames with friends.
EDIT: Someone made a list of the differences:
The title screen is different
Some slowdown before attacks until you've had the game on for a bit.
The electric room with the machine soldier in the "Factory" has permanent slowdown which actually ...

Final Fantasy 4 on the SNES originally came in two flavors - the one for Japan, and the one for the US. The Japanese version had several things about it that were more difficult, including the fact that you couldn't buy "Ether" potions in shops that could restore your MP. I believe the fights were also quite a bit harder.
The US version (released as ...

All current PSP games are compatible with all current PSP models (PSP-1000 "original", PSP-2000 "Slim and Lite", PSP-3000 & PSP Go) . There are only slight hardware differences between them related to screen types, battery life and speaker/microphone type and placement. Some non-game apps need specific hardware (built-in microphone for the Skype app, ...

It appears you CAN install most* PSP games availible on the PSN onto your Vita if you have a PS3.
Download the PSP games onto your PS3 and then connect your Vita. Using Content Manager you should be able to use Copy from PS3 to copy over most PSP games (not Minis, not PS1 games) onto your Vita, even if they're not available for direct download.
Some PSP ...

The Wikipedia entry for the PSP has detailed hardware specs. Things to watch out for:
PSP Go has no UMD drive
PSP 1000 has no video out, the more recent models do
PSP 1000 gaming controls aren't quite as good as the more recent models
some accessories may only work with a specific model of PSP
PSP hardware is region coded (represented by the last digit of ...

They need to be ported. The official line is that the PSP Xperia is a "Playstation Phone" and not a "Playstation Portable". Seems like a bit of a letdown if you ask me. Here is a quote:
"[Xperia Play owners] will have to repurchase the games, so it's not totally integrated. I think the exciting thing is that there are games which people are very, very ...

Yes, all PSOne Classics from the PlayStation Network can be played on all the different versions of the PSP (PSP-1000, PSP-2000, PSP-3000, PSP GO and PSP-E1000).
Just make sure you have downloaded the latest firmware on your system.
From Wikipedia:
PSOne Classics, launched in North America on December 4, 2006, are
re-releases of original PlayStation ...

Have you tried increasing the brightness in the console?
If its your car you can always keep a small towel handy in it. Cover yourself and the console with it.
While travelling in other vehicles have someone else sit next to the window while you sit towards the center. This way the outdoor light will be less of an obstruction.
Hold your psp in different ...

What type of encryption do you have on your router? PSPs may not support newer encryption protocols (WPA2). If use an older protocol like WEP or WPA, you may have better luck.
Edit
After some quick googling, I found this article which may provide some insight. It seems WPA2/AES doesn't work, but you can use WPA2/TKIP-AES. Check your router's ...

Just to add some more information in addition to the other answers...
The PSP Go can also connect to a TV. Plus it supports control via a Dualshock 3 controller, although I believe you have to use a PS3 to set up the connection.
The only PSP games playable on both PSP and PS3 are the downloadable PS1 classics and the Minis. I am not sure if it is possible ...

It doesn't matter whether or not you have separate memory cards. It's the PSN account on the PSP that matters.
While you can install content from your PSN account on up to five PSPs, unlike with the PS3, any given PSP can only be tied to a single PSN account at any given time.
You can download all the content from both accounts, but you have to switch ...

1) Not to my knowledge as it currently stands unless the game ALSO states its playable on the PS3
2) I assume you want to hook the PSP up to the PS3 to play the PSP game on the PS3 with the PS3 controller, This is also a No (You can remote in to a PS3 and play games on the PS3 that stream to your PSP... But I so far only have done this with games I have ...

Found it. To open the recovery menu on most LCFWs:
Hold the R trigger while turning on your LCFW (useful for when you set your clock speed way too low)
Run the launcher twice.
Through the VSH Menu. There's usually an option that says start Recover (This one made me feel stupid >_>')

Here how I did it with my Final Fantasy Tactics (FFT) save files:
I can't guarantee it'll work for you.
Your PSP save games are accessible in the memory stick you used to save your files. Find a way to read the memory stick in a PC with a memory card reader (I don't know if you can backup your files from your PSP direclty to a computer...). The memory ...

While the PSP screen size and general layout of the buttons stayed the same during the x000 iteration, there are noticeable differences between the models:
PSP-1000 vs PSP-2000
Speaker holes moved from lower side to upper side
Button placemenet changed
Different UMD slot, UMD switch on 1000
Headphones port moved, different power connector
IR port on 1000

The vita has a built-in psp emulator. The psp games you can play you have to buy from psn first. Some games offer dlc, but for some it doesn't work, or is not available on psn. It's all a bit sketchy. I you just want the dlc, I suggest investigating network issues to make your psp work first, if you are using WPA security, try switching to WPA2 because WPA ...

I have checked the manual for the PSP models E1002 and E1003 and it clearly states that 5 volts is required input voltage. I would highly doubt that it has an internal voltage regulator if it comes with an external AC adapter.
I worked in a large electronics store in the UK and we occasionally got people who tried to blame us for using too high a voltage ...

According to KlayBuddy on GameFAQs, there is still a cap:
Statiscian, Brokers, and Managers are capped at 300%, whereas Armsmaster is capped at 1900%.
NOTE: Even with the Foresight glitch, the cap is still the cap. It does not matter if you have 2 sets of Statiscians, a Statiscian with <Insert some big number here>, an Armsmaster with a billion ...

One other thing to note. First, if you find the Content Manager icon in the system tray (by the Clock on the task bar), you can right-click on that and pick Settings. On the settings screen toward the bottom there is a hot-link that takes you directly to the folder where you should copy your save files. There are even directions on screen telling you how ...

If the PSP version is similar to the other versions, you need to build a bull that contains a bell in order to scare the dragon and remove some of the flames. You can then walk by the flames, which triggers a cutscene, after which you are moved into the Lestrange vault.
If you watch from the 1:05 to the 2:20 mark of this YouTube walkthrough, you'll see how ...

You can only get to stage 3' from stage 2', and even then you'll have to follow a particular path. The easiest way is to jump off the bridge at a special point, where the Ferryman will take you across the lake and you'll avoid fighting the stage boss:

Based on my own personal experience as I have played all versions including the original Final Fantasy IV on the SNES, the PSP version is much closer to it in terms of difficulty while the DS versions pushes WELL beyond that. Even the mist dragon in the DS version poses quite a challenge while it was still kind of a push-over in the Japanese SNES version.

DS:
Better/higher difficulty (enemies higher stats and last longer than 2 turns, and they also counter a lot), script, balance, 2 bonus bosses, 3D/cinematic presentation.
PSP:
Party switching, 2 bonus dungeons, 2D/classic presentation. You can basically complete it on auto-battle. The PSP version also includes Interlude (it's short) and The After Years ...

en_recovery.txt is the text for a custom firmware's recovery menu; usersystemlib620.prx seems to be related to using CFW to play Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep.
They may be safe to delete if you don't run CFW, but as always, keep a backup of your files handy just in case.

Every major gaming news website will do that. Google and Wikipedia are your friend.
