I thought it might be helpful to have a list for those who want to prioritise clearing the games that don't run on emulators first before their actual console(s) die, so here we go. Listed below are the games I tested personally to know to have working issues (at the point in time of my testing).
Feel free to correct or add on to the list, I'd amend this post if there's information to be corrected.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NDS
Should generally all run on emulators like MelonDS
3DS
Should generally all run on emulators like Azahar, but you would need to decrypt the game files first for the emulator to recognise the game as legal dumps.
PS2
Should generally all run on emulators like PCSX2 but take note of the following:
- Under the Moon ~Crescent~ : Does not run in latest PCSX2 for me but does run on older versions like PCSX2 1.7
PSP
Should generally all run on emulators like PPSSPP but take note of the following:
- D.C. Girl's Symphony Pocket~ (Chinese): The Chinese fan-patched version does not run on emulator so you'd have to play it on an actual PSP or PSV (Adrenaline)
- Gakuen Hetalia: Gets stuck in day 3 or 4
PSV
Should mostly run on emulators like VITA3K but note that the compatibility list on the site is not fully reliable (wrongly stating some games as playable) and the following games have issues:
- Bad Apple Wars: Enters black screen a few lines after picking good or bad side
- Bara ni Kakusareshi Verite: stuck at loading screen
- Crank In: Requires "disable surface sync" to be unchecked in GPU setting for text to display, but you should use an older emulator version as the latest emulator will display in low resolution with said option unchecked (see compatibility thread for a version that is proven to work)
- Geten no Hana with Yume Akari - Aizouban: does not boot
- Harukanaru Toki no Naka De Series: does not boot, or boot without audio in older version of the emulator
- Heiligenstadt no Uta: Technically playable, but needs older version of the emulator and other settings (check compatibility thread for information)
- I Doll U: Game runs but the character sprites do not show up
- Kaleidoeve: Reported to be not working and therefore I'll recommend playing the PSP version instead
- Kiniro no Corda Series (except Octave): does not boot, or boot without audio in older version of the emulator
- Orfleurs: Game gets stuck at character naming screen
- Prince of Stride: Does not seem to allow past name selection screen in newer version, but the game seems to run using an older version of the emulator and other settings (check compatibility thread for information)
- Storm Lover Series: Enters black screen when game enters map
- Sweet Clown: Doesn't run (but switch port should run so it's recommended to just go play that instead)
- Tokimeki Restaurant: Game doesn't run
NS
Should mostly run on emulators like Ryujinx / Ryubing (* Games with issues in Yuzu forks that work in Ryu emulator and are not listed):
- Clock Zero Devote: For Ryu emulator, select setting -> system -> check "ignore missing services" for the game to run.
- Senjou no Waltz: For Ryu emulator, select setting -> system -> check "ignore missing services" for the game to run.
- Shinigami to Shoujo: For Yuzu emulator (and its forks), adjust settings (i.e. disable the asynchronous GPU emulation) for the game text to display properly. Display is not working in other emulators like Ryubing.
Feel free to correct or add on to the list, I'd amend this post if there's information to be corrected.

(My Vita is prone to dying so I hope one day all otome games can be emulated...)
