Description
Hi,
Is there a way when running a game with --appendconfig to launch it directly with other savestate than the auto one ?
For now I rename my stateX with auto. But in game is the slot 0 selected...
If you want to continue you game savesate at slot 7. You had to change manually the slot to 7..
If we 'll could auto load on a selected slot there will be no problem anymore.
exemple: savestate_load_slot = 7
load game with xx.sate7 and select slot 7 in RA list
May I help with a PR. I just need little orientation where found goods classes.

Research direction
Start by tracing how --appendconfig is parsed and how savestate loading selects the current slot. Check the existing configuration options and savestate slot handling before deciding where the requested setting belongs. Done means a configured slot loads its corresponding savestate and remains selected in RetroArch.
