Emulator for retro video games? (alien.top)

I'm looking for a retro video game server something like jellyfin but for video games. Is there anything like that? Something that could be played on remote computers or Roku/Android boxes? Something with clients? I did a cursory search but didn't find anything recent.

I don’t think it’s hardened so I would recommend vpn for access. I tested it out and if you want to do save sharing, say between phone and pc, there is a push to server and pull from server, buttons that need to be clicked. The actual save file seems to be local to the host machine, not the server by default, so you have to push it to the server if you plan on sharing, and then pull on the next device. I was hoping that it would completely saved on the server but I image that would be hard if two devices tried to access it at the same time.
