How I finally organized my ROM collection on my NAS

Life doesn’t leave me with much time for gaming these days, but I’ve been spending what little free time I have taking a trip down memory lane to revisit a few childhood classics. I have a small collection of old Game Boy, SNES, and N64 titles collecting dust in the attic, and I’ve turned to emulation to enjoy them while keeping the aging cartridges out of the reach of curious toddlers.

Unfortunately, emulation and a shortage of time don’t really go hand in hand. I can never remember which device I played a game on last, meaning I might have one save on my phone and another on my laptop. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve not even had the correct ROM saved on my tablet. And then there are nights I’d prefer to play on the TV. It can be challenging to maintain enough consistency to really get into some of my old favorites.
