[Feature Request] Option to have saves recorded as .sav files instead of .dsv #64

Currently the Desmume core writes saves as .dsv files only, which I understand is also what happens with the standalone application.

It would be useful to have an option that enables this core to export its savefiles as .sav, which would yield the following benefits:

saves would be immediately compatible with melonDS, both the standalone version and the libretro core that has been updated recently;
the same files in .sav format would be usable on flashcarts and other means of playback on actual hardware, without need to convert the .dsv file to .sav beforehand.
