 ScummVM 2.9.0git (Mar 11 2024 21:02:00)
 Using SDL backend with SDL 2.30.1
 Features compiled in: Vorbis MP3 RGB zLib MPEG2 MikMod Theora VPX AAC A/52
 FreeType2 FriBiDi JPEG PNG GIF cloud (servers, local) ENet SDL2 TinyGL
 OpenGL (with shaders)

 Having a missing or invalid savepath set leads to a crash and/or the
 debugger coming up.

 Case a:
 Windows version
 Setting the savepath manually to "H:" (a partition that doesn't exist)
 will bring up the debugger (on starting the game), telling me
 ERROR: Invalid attempt to create file - /saves/goldenwake-prog.agw!

 Case b:
 AmigaOS version
 Leaving the savepath at default (saves/) without actually having such
 subdirectory (e.g. on a completely fresh start with no .ini file present)
 will lead to a crash during start of the game, because "timestamps" could
 not be written (see crashlog)

 Maybe the easiest solution would be to silently create the subdirectory
 the game asks for and move on (maybe with a debug warning about the
 missing directory)?
