Hey all,

Im building my own home media server with a synology ds920+ (16tb) and Im thinking of creating a PS2 and or N64 emulation for me and my buddies to be able to retro-game (seperate instances via nvidia shield pro)

Are there any specific guides that I can check out or anyone that would help me? (Would pay you) ;)

You don't have to run the emulators on your NAS. In fact, you probably shouldn't since your NAS is unlikely to be plugged in to any video output.

Pretty much anything can just point at your NAS's shares for access to any and all emulation. Heck, I think an Amazon Fire Stick can even do it.

If your buddies want to bring over Shield Pros to play, all you should need to do is let them on to your WiFi and have read access to your roms or ISOs directory.

So... I guess I'm not quite sure where you're going with the question?
