There was an odd "glitch" a while back where all PSP and PSX digital games were "authorized" to download on the PS Vita. They all work, but some aren't available normally such as Spyro and Crash. I downloaded several of these due to the glitch, and would like to keep them.
I normally offload all my games to my PC and delete them from the Vita if I need more space on my memory card since I can copy them back over. But with these "unauthorized" (for Vita–I own these games) ones I'm not sure what happens if I copy to PC, delete and then try to copy them back. Will I be able to copy and play these games? I hope so, but I don't really want to try it myself.

Yes you can! I copied Crash and Spyro to PC from a PS Vita that already downloaded them, then copied them over to a brand new memory card with Content Manager. The games launch and run with no problem even when connected to the internet.
Note this only helps if you already have these games on a Vita memory card. Without the PSN glitch these games still can't be put onto a Vita from anything but a PC backup like this.
