Summary	05763: SDL-based builds (Windows only): If a path does not exist, a file is not written.
Description	In cases as simple as making a screenshot, if MAME is supposed to produce a file and the full path doesn't already exist, there will be no file or path created.
Steps To Reproduce	Make sure there is no "snap\xevious" folder "sldmame xevious" then attempt to take a snapshot or two with F12 Under normal circumstances, the missing folder path would be created as well as the file but this no longer happens as the path is not created nor is the file ever written.
