💾 How to Save Your Game Progress
You have two ways to save your games on the console:
1. Auto Save/Load (Recommended)
This feature automatically saves your game when you exit and loads it when you return.
To turn on Auto Save/Load:
- Press Start on the home screen
- Open Game Settings from the menu
- Scroll down and turn on Auto Save/Load
- Always exit a game by pressing Select + Start together twice before turning off the console.
(If you power off without exiting this way, your progress won’t be saved.)
2. Manual Save (Save State)
- While playing a game, press both joysticks together to open the menu
- Select the Save State option to manually save your current progress
- You can load this save later from the same menu using Load State
