That's kind of what I like about my setup. It is a shop but it's hosted on my home server which is using my own HDDs. The NSP/NSZ files are still there unless the HDDs fail or I delete them myself.
Could you possible share how you set that up? I already have a 20TB server that I host my PLEX media on. I have close to a TB of NSPs on the Server but I don't know how to link it in tinfoil.?
I have an nginx web server setup that has an index.tfl file which links to the directories containing the games, updates and dlcs. To create the tfl file, have a look at Tinfoil's documentation. https://blawar.github.io/tinfoil/custom_index/
Mine is setup like this
{
"directories": ["http://Domain_or_IP_Here/games","http://Domain_or_IP_Here/games/updates","http://Domain_or_IP_Here/games/DLC"],
"success": "This message shows up when you load tinfoil."
}

I'm not sure how to find the domain or IP... Is that something to do with static IP?
It depends on how you're connecting to it. If it's just hosted inside your house and don't need to connect to it from outside your network then it'll be the lan ip (Usually starts like 192.168.***.***).
Nope, I use Atmosphere. It's just like connecting to any other shop.
And if you're using Windows, I would just recommend using something like Ampps or XAMPP as it's a lot simpler than nginx for people not used to this sort of thing. You only need Apache installed and running from them, the rest is only if you want to host more advanced websites.
Edit: Just found this on github. Haven't tried it as my current setup works and have no reason to switch. Might work for others though. https://github.com/Myster-Tee/TinfoilWebServer

I suppose I'd like it to be sort of like the tinfoil shops. I'd like to be able to access it if I'm on the go and outside of my network
That would require port forwarding which I can't really help you with as it's different for every router. You then would need to search on Google for your public IPv4 address. Googling "My IP" should have it show up.

@AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.+2 -

I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.+1 -

I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet

Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.

Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol

Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150
