vita emulator

which emulator should i use to play ps vita games. i tried a few popular ones but the game would just always crash.

Vita emulation in general is still fairly wonky, I think sporadic crashes are just going to be a part of the experience for now.

I never really looked into alternatives all that much and just stuck by the repo recommended Vita3K.
Not perfect by any means and it's usually best to consult their compatibility list - some games for that system are just not emulatable to any consistent degree currently - but it's been doing alright for me so far.

The Vita 3K emulator is good but not perfect, but some games run well on it.

You tried a few popular emulators for Vita? I don't think it exists other emulator than Vita3k :O

Vita3K is the only one in my mind.
It's not perfect and it has tons of issues, but it plays some games pretty well such as Gravity Rush.
tho if you are asking about android, you should try Vita3K ZX.
it's better than the official android port.

Vita 3K is the only real option. Games can be unstable and have missing functionality (for instance, Soul Sacrifice Delta softlocks if you try to use online functionalities, Muramasa will crash during the tutorial unless the game is up to date).

Sadly you really need to test games on your own.

I think they said that Vita3k works better from PC. Vita3k is not good on Android ATM.

That's likely. I haven't tried Vita3k on mobile, but as development is spotty, mobile is probably not a priority at the moment.
