Feature Request: Have save memory allocated per game, not whole system #192

On the MiSTer Discord, I ran into an issue with Stakes Winner that was just documented. The game only works if 100% of your internal save memory is erased as evidenced here: https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/NeoGeo_MiSTer/issues/191

To my knowledge, the Sega CD and upcoming Saturn core have a feature where the internal data of the system is created as a brand new instance for every game file and saves it's own clean system data per game using the game's name as a save file. The PSX core does the same thing except with memory cards versus internal memory.

Can we have this feature for Neo Geo CD games?

I've pushed commit into Main repository to make save per CD. You can try it in unstable builds.

This works now! The real problem is that Stakes Winner needs to have a completely free system data to save. What a hog! Thanks so much for fixing this in record time. Closing the issue now :)
