PSP is based on MIPS architecture which was also used by N64.

PSP can understand some of N64s instructions which is why emulation for N64 is even possible despite it lacking power.

Even then N64 emulation is notoriously complicated due to heavy use of custom solution, workarounds and micro code in N64 games which was required to deal with some of the systems unusual limitations.

Retroarch for Vita (at least in the current state of Vita homebrew) cannot utilize the PSP MIPS architecture, even the GPU of the Vita is not properly utilized yet so all emulation in Retroarch is done via Software Emulation.

For older systems like NES, Genesis and SNES the Vita has enough power force proper emulation via software alone.

For systems like GBA and PS1 the limitations of software emulation begin to show their effect.

GBA is prone to crashing if it tries to use the GPU and PS1 emulation is noticeably worse in Retroarch Vita when compared to Adrenaline PSP PS1 emulation which natively can execute the PS1 code.

Until a proper tap into the Vitas GPU is possible you wont see much if any progress on N64 emulation unless it is for PSP Adrenaline.

There is a project in the works to try and enable GPU Acceleration so that N64 emulation could be feasible but right now it is early and it might never come to fruition.

See this article: If you want to play N64 stick to emulators for PC and Android, they are the best available today and possible for quite some time.
