Pac-Man has this issue on the NGP core too. Wasn't it listed as working early on? The game has a flashing Namco logo at startup. Could that be causing issues?

'Samurai Shodown! - Pocket Fighting Series' on the NGP(/C) cores. The game isn't responding to controls anymore on version jtngpc_20240831.

As I don't see it on the current list and this need a special note after my tests.

After some more tests and the video from PixelCherryNinja, it seems to be that the current up-to-date NGPC set (with save cleaned flash chip) isn't working as intended on the core as of now, but games were working on a previous beta version. And we must use an older set with save inits already present on the dumped flash chips.

You must use the older dump which contains already save init from 0x1E0000 to 0x1E00FF. If you want these games to work on the core at the moment.

So something to check with the core source code.

Thanks to PixelCherryNinja during his video & confirming these games are working under that conditioon.

Would like to add that Sonic Pocket Adventure is not saving. It's playable, but it isn't able to save. Verified by restarting the core. Also note that by editing the game ROM to run in debug mode (edit 0x1F as FF), it refuses to save, but is more prominent with error messages. In an emulator, it does not do that.
