Description
I feel like this is pretty self explanitory, but I'll elaborate. It would be nice if there were command line options to assign direct saves AT LEAST for the first few slots,
i.e. retroarch.exe -saveslot 0 save
retroarch.exe -saveslot 1 save
retroarch.exe -saveslot 2 save
retroarch.exe -saveslot 3 save
retroarch.exe -saveslot 4 save
retroarch.exe -saveslot 5 save
Or something of that nature. I find haveing to cycle through the slots and then choosing to load not very intuitive, there needs to be a more direct way to assign save and load slots for states.

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating RetroArch's existing command-line option parsing and save-state slot handling, then determine how direct save and load options should map to slots 0 through 5. Done means command-line options can directly assign save or load operations to the requested slots without cycling through them interactively.
