Description
We already have the following (shown below) to allow each of the various files to be saved within the content dir, could we also have the ability to save options files in the content dir as well?
savefiles_in_content_dir
savestates_in_content_dir
screenshots_in_content_dir
systemfiles_in_content_dir
So if your game is stored in
roms/Genesis Plus GX/Gunstar Heroes (USA).zip
it would load and save the file from
roms/Genesis Plus GX/Gunstar Heroes (USA).opt

Research direction
Search for the existing savefiles_in_content_dir, savestates_in_content_dir, screenshots_in_content_dir, and systemfiles_in_content_dir options and trace how they derive paths from the content directory. Done means option files can be saved and loaded beside the content, such as roms/Genesis Plus GX/Gunstar Heroes (USA).opt.
