Have there been any OPM games which use save/load?

I think he wanted to know whether you can leave it in an endless loop, so
the only way to get out is to reset the PSX (a bit like AK SCT on this
month's OPM). How do most people exit their games? Do you just have a
condition in the main loop, where if some variable is set to 1, you keep
looping, and the if "Start + Select" are pressed or if the exit option on
the main menu is chosen, the variable is set to 0, or do you do it some
other way?
