Just a bit of caution, make sure the ROM you want to play is executed by the proper module within Retro Arch. I was feeling experimental one day and tried to run an NES rom through the Sega module and Retro Arch could not get around that set of instructions and stopped working. I'm not even sure how I fixed the problem but I will never drop a ROM into a module that isn't coded to execute that file.

Just wanted to ask, at the 'download assets etc', I followed the step, but the 'extracting zip' notification hasn't gone away. It's been about 30 minutes. everything is still functional, don't know why this won't go away though. Kinda scared to exit to home, due to it seemingly still extracting. *edit* Just in case anyone else is wondering, it is fine to exit, in fact I suggest it, and just manually extract each of the the folders on the computer instead.

I'm sure it can be installed that way also. You'll still need a means of copying game files to your Vita's internal storage or memory card, though. I guess you can download them right on the Vita, but I think you'll be much happier using a computer to get them and transfer them over. Once you're at that point, might as well grab RetroArch while you're at it.
