Possible to use different savefile extension?

Is it possible to change the save extension (.srm) to something different (.sav) ?

For example, MiSTer uses the .sav extension and most (all?) of the LibRetro cores use .srm. However, despite the different extensions they are compatible in many situations (mesen, bsnes, etc).

This would be helpful when sharing devices/emulators using a network share to save savegames and roms, etc.

How bout asking the MiSTer folks to switch to srm? :wink:

Many emulators use the *.sav extension for their savestates, which would be as or more confusing.
