PS Vita Emulator for Windows (FAKE)

PC comes here by far inferior on emulating the Vita compared to mobile devices with ARM on. It's a rare case but it's true. It's the same concept why people say PS4 emulation could be possible one day in the near future. The advantage here is that the GPU is known too.

Fair enough. I see your point. The baseline for ARM devices would still be pretty high though, which would be an ARM device with a quad core CPU as part of their SOC. Which would exclude so many of the older ARM devices with single core and dual core CPUs. That's what I meant.

You're not for example, going to see a SGS2 emulate a Vita like it can a PSP.

Also, having the same instruction set as the target platform that you're trying to emulate doesn't always make it easier.

Take a look at the XBOX 1 emulation's progress for example. Much was said about how easy it'd be to emulate since it's using the x86 Intel CPU instruction set which is well documented and known and a NVIDIA Geforce 3 NV2A variant.

To this day progress made is still nearly zilch. There were a few attempts to emulate it, and they've gone nowhere far. I'm still waiting to play DOA:XBV and DOA 3 on my PC. I suspect I'll have to continue to dust out the ol' XBOX now and again to get my fix.
