Phantasy Star (Master System) #11

This issue was originally reported by @chewvodka on RetroPie forum.

Yeah! You've read it right! A Master System game!

The hash of this ROM is d6705359599c19322d2868b0a87f8eba, and the RetroAchievements.org returns the 9141 game id. As we can see here, it's an invalid Mega Drive game and have some strange characters on it's name. This is crashing RetroArch.

Segmantation fault

@leiradel it's clear that there is a RetroAchievements.org "bug" in its database, but could RetroArch be smart enough to not crash when getting it?

I'm good at finding bugs lol. :) At first I thought this was a corrupted ROM, but by using the suggestion by @meleu to add a cheevos_enable = "false" line to the mastersystem specific cfg file, it allowed the ROM to load.

It was a false alarm. This is that empty json response problem, already solved when that Arkanoid issue (#9) was solved. The user was using an outdated RetroArch.
