Is there any way the device or hardware can save data as unique files with unique strings for each game? I need this for an extension I’m making, so if you can answer, please do!

The built in settings extension can store strings.

But can it do that as separate files?

There is no “namespace” support in the settings extension, if that is what you mean. You will have to manually implement it.

Uh, I mean the files staying inside the memory (even if you switch games).

Then no. Save data is independent to each game I believe.
