I used to use iOS, and there was a great emulator called "Delta". It was open source and free, and it was so easy to add games to it's library. Is there such an app for Android? I would very much like it if the app was open source and free.

Retroarch is fantastic and allows for many numerous emulators. It is FOSS.

I synch my roms and saves using Google Drive and DriveSynch; free, but not necessarily a FOSS process.

Alternatively I use Syncthing to keep my saves synced between my phone, PC and home server.

I'm slowly collecting the things I will need to build a home NAS. That sounds interesting, and I'll be glad to check it out.

You won't regret it, syncthing is super easy to use and it just works without hassle. I'd suggest Plex too for your NAS setup.

I have been using Jellyfin for video. It runs great so far.
