How to auto save on R36S?

To enable auto-save on your R36S (assuming you're using an emulator like PPSSPP for PSP games or playing Android-based games), the method may vary depending on the platform or game you're playing. Here’s how you can set up auto-save or similar features:

1. For PPSSPP Emulator (R36S)

If you're using the PPSSPP emulator on your R36S to play PSP games, the emulator doesn't directly support "auto-save" in the same way as some games, but you can set up features to simulate this functionality:

Auto Save with Save States:

While PPSSPP doesn’t have a native auto-save feature, you can use save states to quickly save and load game progress automatically. Here’s how to automate it to some extent:

1. Open PPSSPP and Start a Game:

   • Launch your game using the PPSSPP emulator on your R36S.

2. Enable Auto-Save with Save States (via Plugin or Script): PPSSPP doesn’t have a built-in auto-save option, but you can set up a save state plugin or use an automation script to automatically save your game at specified intervals. However, this requires a bit of technical knowledge and might need some customization of your emulator settings or using third-party apps/scripts.

   • You can look for auto-save scripts within the PPSSPP community or emulator forums.

3. Manually Save States Regularly:

   • You can set a reminder to manually save your progress using save states:
     • Open the PPSSPP Menu.
     • Select Save State to create a snapshot of your progress at any time.
     • To load the saved state later, go to Load State and select your saved slot.

While this is not a full auto-save, you can create regular save snapshots for your game to avoid losing progress.

2. For Android Games (R36S)

If you're playing Android games (like many mobile games) on your R36S, the auto-save feature is typically built into the games themselves.

Check the Game Settings:

Many mobile games, especially RPGs and online games, will auto-save your progress as you play. This is usually done automatically, but some games allow you to adjust the settings:

1. Auto-Save in Settings:

   • Open the game and go to Settings or Options.
   • Look for Auto-Save or Cloud Save options.
   • If the game offers cloud saving, ensure it's enabled, so your progress is saved across devices.

2. Cloud Save (For Games Linked to Accounts):

   • For games that require login (such as those using Google Play or Facebook), progress is often saved to the cloud automatically.
   • Make sure you're logged into your account to have your game save automatically to the cloud.

3. For Homebrew Games (R36S)

If you're playing homebrew games or custom emulators on your R36S, auto-save features can vary. Some homebrew games have built-in auto-save options, while others might need manual intervention.

1. Auto-Save Options in Homebrew Games:
   • Check the game's settings menu for any auto-save or checkpoint features.
   • If not available, you may have to rely on manually saving progress through in-game save points or emulator save states.

4. Using Third-Party Apps for Auto-Save (For Android Games on R36S)

Some third-party apps can help enable auto-save functionality for Android games on your R36S:

1. Game Guardian or Mod Apps:
   • Game Guardian can sometimes be used for modifying game progress, including auto-saving features, though this requires root access and can be against some games’ terms of service.
2. Backup and Restore Apps:
   • Apps like Titanium Backup (requires root access) can back up game progress and restore it if needed, but it’s more about saving and restoring data rather than continuous auto-save functionality.

5. Manual Save with Cloud Backup

To ensure your game data is saved securely, you can use cloud backup for important game data. For example, enabling Google Play Games or similar services can help save progress even when you change devices or lose progress on your R36S.

Conclusion:

While auto-save isn’t always a built-in feature for all platforms, you can still ensure your progress is regularly saved through options like save states (on emulators like PPSSPP) or cloud saves (on Android games). For games that don’t have auto-save built-in, consider setting reminders to save manually, using save states, or exploring third-party apps to automate the process where possible.
