Description

The exact message is:

Error opening file "SAV:bkr": No such file or directory

It appears on both OSes when playing any Saturn game. I couldn't find "bkr" in the codebase.

edit 2022-05-03: also seeing similar warning for SAV:0.mcr w/ Nymashock in 2.9 dev

Research direction

Search the codebase for the literal paths "SAV:bkr" and "SAV:0.mcr", then reproduce the warning while playing a Saturn game with Saturnus and Nymashock. Determine which component attempts to open these files; done means the spurious console warnings no longer appear in the reported scenarios.
