I've heard that joke, but I just thought you goofed.
I should have figured that out.

I just bought a PSP yesterday, and I really like it so far, but the DS is still the shit. Meteos, Castlevania, Mario Kart, Phoenix Wright plus Super Princess Peach, New Super Mario Bros and an incredible looking onlineTetris coming soon? Yeah. If I could only have one, it'd be the DS.
My reason for getting the PSP was the new Mega Man stuff, Tokobot, and the fact that it is a pretty badass media player. But, DS still for the win.

The DS is the greatest handheld ever. You might as well wait and get the DS Lite redesign. It has awesome games and you can play tons of awesome GBA games. Some games I recommend:

Castlevania DS
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Trama Center: Under the Knife
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time (playing this now, it rocks)
Kirby Canvas Curse
Metos
Animal Crossing: Wild World
Nintendogs

I will have to look into the flashcart thing, I would love some NES rom action. The PSP is OK, my boyfriend has one but the games on it suck right now. His is modded and all we ever play are SNES games. He has been playing that Popocroploiosos game which looks kinda cool. All the really good games on PSP are stuck in Japan.

This is the best suggestion in this thread. Until the new Ghosts and Goblins comes out for the PSP, its shit.
The DS has so much more to offer. Plus you can definitely try before you buy, if you know how to.

The PSP is good for emulation but I don't know how good Mame runs on it. What games run flawlessly and what games don't. I'm kind of ignorant on the subject. I'm sure Radiant Silvergun isn't running on it, but I am curious about different 2D fighting games from Capcom and SNK.

Ok, I read that link that Jeremy provided and I am still confused. If I want to play NES roms on my DS then I need a flash card that can connect to my DS and then directly to the computer. Can anybody who has NES roms running on their DS help me out? This has really piqued my interest.

PSP.

Or maybe even better, save your money and buy good stuff

So DS is the winner. Well, I still have months ahead of me before I go back to school but it's good to be more informed when I make my final decision.

The emulation on PSP, from what I've seen, is blah, at best. The smoothest emulation I saw on it was the NES which, really, come on.
As for playing fighting games on the PSP... Umm... Don't. :-P Even Alpha 3, which is made for the PSP and runs fantastic on the system plays like shit because of the control setup. No handheld has come even close to being a portable fighter dream like the Neo Geo Pocket was.

I miss you, NGPC.
