Shuffler is losing progress when there is only one game left

[Boboblio]

Shuffler is losing progress when there is only one game left and I have saved the game within the ROM

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Startup EmuHawk.exe and startup the lua console. Open the shuffler.lua within the shuffler folder
2. Check the box for resuming a session and click resume previous session.
3. No error appears that I see, however it loads data from a previous time that was prior to when I last saved the game in-game in the ROM.
4. If I go into the game, warp to the overworld and save the game again, close out of bizhawk and open again, it'll revert back to whatever it loaded last time and not the save I just made in-game. It appears repeatable.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11, ver 22H2 OS build 22623.1037
• Bizhawk Version: 2.8 win x64. bizhawk shuffler 2 main

Additional context bizhawk is using Snes9x to run "Final Fantasy IV: The Lunarian Shuffle" found here: (https) ff4-lunarianshuffle.blogspot (dot com)

Currently, the shuffler only creates a savestate when switching games. So, anything that happens in the last game of a session will not be saved by the shuffler, and when resuming a session it will load the state from the last switch.

As a workaround, I recommend making a manual savestate before you close BizHawk and loading that after resuming. If it's the last game of a session and the game has a save feature, you could also just load the ROM without using the shuffler.

I'm closing this issue as a duplicate of #49, but I'll look into making the shuffler save a state when BizHawk is closed.
