Powering off overwrites the savestate, even if it was not loaded to begin with, which can easily lead to erasing a valid savestate.

Provide a way to avoid this situation, by either:

Loading the savestate automatically on boot, if it exists (or make the behaviour configurable with build flags)
Displaying a menu to ask the user if the savestate should be overwritten

Whatever solution is implemented, should also be implemented in zelda3.

If possible, also handle missing savestate when trying to load.
