[FR]VMC over network for HDD games

Describe the FR

I thought of this as a feature for those of us that have multiple PS2s, i know using OPL via SMB i can just hop from PS2 to PS2 and just continue from the same save. but if someone wants to take advantage of say the PSBBN Definitive Patch, and have their games run from HDD we lose that inter system continuance. i asked @CosmicScale about this for the PSBBN project and he said it was more of an OPL issue

Describe the solution you'd like

is there any way to tweak the location of VMCs to be over SMB, and the games be either SMB, HDD, MX4SIO, etc... so that you can start on one system, save, turn off, go to another system, maybe with HDD) and continue just by being connected to same network

Describe alternatives you've considered

physically taking memory card with you (which isnt a bad thing, but if i have a set up without physical memory cards, id be stuck to one system)

@joonboi this is what @rickgaiser replied to me about this:

Using 2 different devices is in theory possible, in fact I already tried this a long time ago. But loading 2 sets of modules makes this consume double iop memory, making it not ideal. Also since all devices are named "mass" makes this difficult to implement.
