megadrive: nvram not working for Wonder Boy in Monster World #4006

Saving within the game does not work apparently for this game. Sadly I found this out after 2-3 hours of playing :(

My configuration is mame 0.199 (I haven't had time to update to the latest mame, but I didn't see any changes related to this issue), machine: genesis, game: wboymw. Browsing the megadriv.xml file I see that all the clones of this game have the same "rom_eeprom" slot so I'm guessing they all suffer the same problem. Mame does save a 128-byte file within the nvram directory for the game but it's all 0xFF bytes.

Hi, unfortunately it is a known bug: https://mametesters.org/view.php?id=5191

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't aware of mametesters.org. Now I see it buried deep in the FAQ on mamedev.org, but it would be nice if it had a more prominent place on the main site. I suppose the double-edged sword there is all the spurious bug reports from clueless newbs like me :)

Please use mametesters.org for game/system related bugs. Github issues are for structural changes/proposal in the emulator itself.
