So I use my Wii for playing retro games on my TV, and it works pretty well. I would use my raspberry pi, but it's currently being used as an NAS and always-on torrent seedbox and emulation might be pretty slow on it.

I have some pretty huge collections of retro game ROMs and I'd rather not use the space on my HDD connected to the Wii since I use it with UNEEK+DI. My question is, which emulators support loading ROMs via a network share, either SMB or AFP? I would like to be able to emulate the following systems:
  • Game Boy
  • Game Boy Advance
  • Game Gear
  • NES
  • SNES
  • N64
  • NeoGeo
  • Sega Saturn
  • Sega Genesis
  • PS1
  • MAME
  • Atari 2600
Thanks in advance!
 
I think all the emulators with GX in the title support samba shares right out of the gate, and the ones I know of are FCE Ultra GX (NES), Genesis GX (Genesis/Megadrive/Gamegear), SNES9x GX (SNES), VBA GX (GB/GBC/GBA).

I don't know about the other systems, because either I don't care to emulate them, or their emulators never work for me so I can't try them out. But of the ones I listed above, they all have samba share support built-in.
