Extend the max save file limit beyond 4

Namely talking about multiplayer settings (loadouts) here. If you're like me and enjoy saving your different setups, 4 doesn't cut it lol

I guess I could try just expanding the EEPROM size.

While I have no idea how the feasible it would be right now, another option is make it kinda work like how the original, and some emulators do now, with memory cards. Maybe a Memory Card file alongside the eeprom file, and could even do additional ones, just like the N64, up to how many controllers were plugged in. Another bonus of that is then it would make swapping saves, characters and settings files easier.

That is quite possible.

I would like to point out a problem that may be related to the author. When checked with a hex editor, the eeprom.bin file does not delete old profile information. It does not revert to a blank state, as was the case when creating a new save with a profile, or when renaming or copying a profile. I think that over time, this could corrupt the save.

This was added in #596 so I'll close this now
