Games with save files are not saving and some are not even working + MMC issues #3

Just tested Kirby's Adventure. I beat the first stage and hit reset (L+R+Z) and it didn't save my file. How do I fix this? The save file for the game still shows up on my memory card, though.

Also, Wrecking Crew doesn't work, it returns me to the game and says something about the memory card not being able to be read. Every other game works fine or at least boots up. As far as I know, I haven't tested any third party NES games. Just first party ones. So I wonder if the Castlevania games work.

Also, some of the MMC mappers don't seem to work right on a few NES games. NES Open Tournament Golf, Volleyball, and StarTropics show up with graphical glitches. Just letting you know this, so you can hopefully patch these bugs. Sure, we have the NES Classic, but some people like playing AC GCN, too.

Even tried Mach Rider and the road during gameplay glitches up. The left and right sides of the screen just shows part of the main road. I don't understand why there are graphical glitches in some games, though.

Firstly, saving doesn't work yet. This is due to how the Animal Crossing developers implemented saving. There's a special tag that specifies which area of the game to save, and it has to be set per game. This makes saving the game difficult.

For the issues with graphical glitches, did you try this on real hardware? Dolphin still has issues running NES games. If you have, then it's probably an issue with the emulator itself.

This was tested on an actual authentic Wii with an actual AC disc and they still show graphical glitches for some reason. The games that show the graphical glitches are:

NES Open Tournament Golf (title screen) Volleyball (title screen) Mach Rider (road messes up showing other roads on left and right sides) StarTropics (file select screen) Wrecking Crew (Doesn't even boot up, returns to game with error message)

I can confirm that these games do work, without any graphical glitches:

Super Mario Bros. 2 Super Mario Bros. 3 Dr. Mario Yoshi Yoshi's Cookie Ice Hockey Adventures of Lolo Adventures of Lolo 2 Adventures of Lolo 3 Metroid Kid Icarus Tetris Kirby's Adventure (no save support, yet) Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (no save support, yet)

I haven't tested Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II, EaryhBound Zero/Beginnings, and Urban Champion. But almost all of the first party games.
