I've had similar thoughts before, particularly wanting to be able to use my saves from games across emulators/platforms/computers.The only real headway I made was storing a few Gameboy Advance roms on my Google Drive, and accessing them both from my (Android) phone and my computers. (Maybe also my work computer, shh!) With GBA and other systems that saved directly to their cartridge, this is pretty much as simple as putting the ROM on your NAS/Cloud and then making sure what you're running your emulator on can also access the networked ROM.For systems that had memory cards, you need to make sure your emulators (across platforms) use the same kind of memory card emulation, or have compatible saving systems, or whatever else. Not sure if you could also get Save States to work across platforms, but I would have my doubts.Definitely--once I get into a more permanent living situation--I'd like to start tricking out a NAS/Cloud emulation setup.
