Summary 04829: gorf, gorfpgm1, gorfpgm1g: Intermittent failure of autosave state function in gorf sets
Description Gorf, upon exit with autosave on, does not always save its state on exit. When this happens, there is a longer than usual pause before exit, and nothing is saved to the sta folder.
Steps To Reproduce Start any Gorf ROM with "autosave 1" activated in CORE STATE/PLAYBACK OPTIONS section of the ini. Press escape to exit. Sometimes it will save the state properly and exit immediately, and sometimes it will pause and do nothing, then eventually exit.
Additional Information This bug has been present for many previous versions, and I finally just decided to nail down the behavior. Unfortunately, I can't provide a regression version, if it is a regression. Sorry.

I did not test beyond confirming the game mentioned (Gorf).

I have never noticed the problem in either Wizard of Wor or Space Zap, but since it is intermittent, it could be present but not as common.

It happens a lot with the Gorf sets. I was unable to reproduce it through several tries on WoW and Space Zap.
