      Is it possible to create a UI when you press Select + Start in the NES emulator? It would be awesome if your press Select + Start and you are given options such as:


      Cancel

      Save (if Save is chosen) -> Slot 1 Slot 2 Slot 3

      Exit Game


      Using a SNES controller i forget which trigger ( L or R) and select saves and which loads. You can easily override a game if you forget.

          I'm all for keeping GUI to a minimum. There are a couple of places where a GUI would be helpful. Having accidentally saved over an advanced progress save I concur this would be a good place for a UI element. Even if it was just an "Are you sure? Yes(A) Cancel(B)"

            This would be something to bring up over at the libretro forums, as they are responsible for adding new features to RetroArch.

                @retroaceson And I think they'll answer something like "We already implemented the undo savestate/loadstate feature". You can see it at Quick Menu.
