its simpler than that. instead of saving "in-game" click file, or whatever the first menu is, and click save state. then when u turn it off, it won't be lost. then when you wanna play again, just click load state. it helps especially for RPG's, cuz unlike in ff, you don't have to look for a damn save point.that should be better. iuno if adressing the right problm, but just try it, i think itl help.
