Option to disable recent saving/list?

[60fpshacksrock]

Just wondering about an option to disable the recent list and it saving upon every game boot.

May I ask why you'd want to disable it? Is your swiss.ini rather huge and saving the recent list takes a while? If so issue #513 should solve that.

No problems with it.

Though the less writes to it the better. I hear SD cards have a lesser life span (number of writes) than USB drives.

There are some code paths to prevent unnecessary writes, such as if you're launching the same game over and over again etc, but there'll be far less writes when config is split up (and I guess I can make it optional at that point too).

Thank you. And great program by the way.

Not only is game loading faster than ever, but now memory card emulation is back and working better than ever.

I had a question about memory card emulation. I noticed it saves much faster than a real memory card does. If you decide
to slow it down to be more accurate, maybe because of compatibility issues, can we still have an option to use fast saving?

Added in 50c7cdb. You can turn it off completely or set it to a "lazy" mode where it will only add new entries and it won't save for a simple reshuffle (if you constantly only use a top 8 list of entries etc).
