[Feature Request] Enable "Don't overwrite SaveRAM on loading savestate" to work on .mcd saves

[yotengodormir]

Currently the option "Don't overwrite SaveRAM on loading savestate" only works on Libretros SRM save files.

Using SwanStation core, set to use use .mcd save files, when you load a save state it will overwrite the save.
Reseting the core does not undo this You must undo the load save state to have the mcd save to be the current, up to date file recognized.

Having this function would make using retroach across multiple devices more seamless

Unfortunately, that option depends on cores using the libretro save interface, just like the SRAM autosave interval. If the frontend and the core don't have a common language to talk about saves, there's no way for them to talk about what to do with saves, either.

Ah. I was worried that would be the case. I understand and thank you for the quick response.
