Description
The "Dreamcast" port does not have an option to disable the auto-saving.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add an auto-save option to either the "game load" menu.
Or, to add an "in-game" menu to the Dreamast port, then add the auto-save option to the in-game menu.

Autosaving is a feature of the engine, not the backend.
I don't know if it's safe, or even possible, to try to disable them in the backend.
I seem to recall that some games (DoTT) need autosaves for cutscenes to work correctly...

It is absolutley possible and save for backends (and users) to enable/disable autosaving, or modify the autosaving interval. DOTT (and some other game) needs to perform scripted saves at some points, yes, but that's independant from the autosave feature.
Just invoke ConfMan.setInt("autosave_period", 0); in your backend, and that should do it. The Nintendo DS port already does this.

Well, that seems simple enough, so I have added it to the trunk. Let's just hope this doesn't mean I'll get bug reports saying "what happened to autosave!?!" :-)
Maybe some day it will be possible to set it manually through the GMM...
