Mention explicitly that some GBA cores do not support "SaveRAM Autosave Interval" setting #927

Closed nighto closed 3 months ago

In order to prevent loss of data when using internal saving and exiting RetroArch in a non-graceful way, as addressed on https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/16323 and many other times.

Since the SRAM autosave feature is a RetroArch feature, I would normally suggest that it's not really appropriate for the libretro docs pages beyond the checkmark (or lack thereof) in the libretro features section. That is, it doesn't apply to any other libretro frontends, which might handle saving in a different way without using the libretro save interface.

However, I do know this is a significant problem for people, so I'm not against having some sort of additional notice. I would prefer if it appeared down with the libretro features, though, rather than up at the main explanation of the core.

No problem, I can move the content down.

Done; also added the line to the cores that do support it.
