Distribution of roms (what you call preloading) is illegal, as it would potentially be piracy. You would have to supply the roms yourself :)

Okay, I see. But isn't downloading them yourself illegal? I read up on roms
a while back. It referred to them as: legal to make, but not to use. As in,
you have to download the rom to upload it to the emulator. One of the roms
I use (https://jsemu3.github.io/gba/) is preloaded.

As far as I know, some use cases are a bit of a gray area (like is it legal to download if you own the physical game). But whoever has uploaded to jsemu, does not have the distribution right for those games, and that is why you will not find roms preloaded here. Sorry :)
I'm working on getting Iodine to work with Google Drive, so you can upload your own games to your own drive and then use Iodine to play them.

Could you also use your Google Drive idea to store your save files? Essentially you'd be using google drive to host your gba library (roms + saves + savestates, etc) and all you would need to do is sign in. Then you'd be able to continue your game from any device with a compatible browser.

That is already part of the solution ;) The Drive integration is done, so I just need to get the graphics and feel right before submitting it to emulation lists around the web.

What if the user was prompted to give just the SHA signature of his ROM before preloading in order to verify if he owns the file ?

To give a digital signature of the rom, before downloading it? If the user has it in a digital format to begin with, why not just load that one into the emulator?
Anyhow, most projects like this has a standard message reading "This project focuses on the emulation of the platform, not the distribution of that platform's games". The beauty of open source is that anyone could take the emulator and make a separate project focusing on the distribution of games instead. Then we all focus on what we are good at/interested in.

Yeah preloads will never be supported in the base distribution at the very least. You'll have to fork it on your own and add it yourself for the reasons others listed above.

I can't download emulators and I would really love a list of preloaded games (Please add Zero Mission if you do!). Could you please add this in sometime in the future? Thanks!
