Copying a PSP game from PS3 to Vita?

Hi, I was thinking about buying Monster Hunter again, except digitally, and I just wanted to know if it's possible to buy the game on the PS3 PS store and copy it to my Vita and have it working? 

Thanks

in general, yes it is possible, however unless the game is "officially" supported, ie on this list http://www.computerandvideogames.com/335548/a-list-of-vita-compatible-psp-games/ then you have to be careful. GTA LCS is not on the list but it still worked for me. follow this tutorial to tranfer the games http://videogamewriters.com/how-to-copy-digital-psp-games-to-vita-using-your-ps3-39370/

if its monster hunter freedom unite then yes, it is compatable...

I copied my GTA Liberty/Vice City Stories games over to my Vita, but what do we have to be careful about?

careful incase it is not supported. i know the list is a list of officially supported titles which will be available to DL on the vita store, and just because the game isnt on the list doesnt mean it wont work, but i have heard of 1 or 2 titles not working...

Re: Copying a PSP game from PS3 to Vita?

Also, do you happen to know if PSP demos work on VITA?

honestly couldnt tell you bud. i'd presume that if you can download them to the ps3 in the same way you can the games, there should be no trouble, but i'm just guessin i'm afraid...

Far as I know, no PSP demos will work on Vita - Sony have not/are not patching them to work.
