Wait, so you are hosting the game and this is a paid service? Do you have some sort of license agreement for all these platforms with the owners of the original IP?

Hi Kelteseth,

Yes we store your games for you but you must upload your own game. Kind of like how google music worked when it first launched.

Cool service, I love crosssave when it's available.

Is it not legally safer for you to store only the save states and tell people to manage the ROMs themselves?

Thanks Classy, I could do that, it would be slightly less convenient when switching devices as you'd have to add the rom again but could be an option if there is ever any issues. Another thing I've thought about is client side encrypting any roms before uploading them. That would me I don't know if people are playing homebrew titles or something else.
