really? i’ve heard emulating on the vita is easy or at least not very hard especially recently

Oh, that's not what i heard, (haven't fone it myself, a friend, and it was a pain in the butt, had to redo and reinstall backup 4 times, even tho we were following instructions precisely)
Whereas my 3ds, done in 30 mins first try...

interesting the ds sounds easier to do but if the vita can emulate nintendo games too like pokémon i think that would be my pick but i’m not really sure but if it’s really difficult then i’d just stick with the ds

Look into getting a steam deck, they're amazing! OK, a tad pricy for a handheld machine but so worth it.

Unless you've got massive pockets sadly the deck isn't as portable

I didn't say portable 😜

In terms of performances, and possibilitoes, the vita can offer better emulating, and get to newer consoles than the 3ds, (eg, PSOne)
In terms of how easy it is to install and actually make it do emulation, the 3ds is the easiest of them,
The vita didn't sell well in the western world, therefore not much people developped emulating solution on it, and therefore being really difficult to install.
