Feature Request: Is it possible to implement autosave without the need to open the OSD menu to copy the save file to the SD card?

This is unsafe feature as it may write to SD card at any time, including the time when you may press reset or power MiSTer down.
This is why write is implemented in determined times (when you open OSD).

another consequences of such feature is possible lag/unresponsive of system. Some games use battery backed RAM and may frequently write to it at any time which will produce constant SD write and make system laggy, and also may wear SD card.
