Message: [QUOTE="AceWhatever, post: 361523, member: 373895"] I lean towards the 3DS. While Vita emulation is still in its early stages, the fact that reached a point where entire games can be played is a good sign. 3DS/DS emulation, while to my understanding is at a point where most of the library is playable, still involves some sacrifices on a game-by-game basis. Most of it revolves around having to put up with two screens at a lower resolution or having only one screen displayed at a time and the latter's feasibility varies by game. There's also stylus-heavy games to consider. Vita hacking to my knowledge still hasn't been finalized/perfected as it requires you to be on specific firmware for one thing. A quick check reveals that they seem to no longer require having Sony's proprietary Vita memory card if you don't have access to one, but you're still probably need a SD2Vita adapter. 3DS hacking is more or less done. There's a method for practically every firmware version and you don't need additional hardware (most of the time) to do it. The two things a hacked Vita has over the 3DS is the ease of running its predecessor's games and (arguably) storage options. For Vita it's a simple matter of installing the homebrew that mimics the PSP's XMB and that's it. The 3DS equivalent anecdotally doesn't have full compatibility with the DS library (AFAIK. I personally wasn't able to get it to work at all) and some found it easier to just buy a compatible DS flashcart. SD2Vita works with card sizes over 100GB easily, while 3DS might run into problems when you go over 64GB (I have my games spread over 2 3DS's each with a 32GB card). [/QUOTE]
