GameSave MD/Gen. : Wonderboy in Monsterworld

Hello,
I'm having an issue with "Wonderboy in Monsterworld", the game does not save progression when it is supposed to.
From what I've read it's because there's no SRAM support, at least at the moment.
I understand this support being consider optional for Sports Games to store high scores ... but for RPGs, it's a major flaw not to support saves, as they are not supposed to be finished in one run...

@Lisko : Thanks for the information. Indeed, I've found said patch.
Now, I'll have to figure how to apply it... Google is my friend

For those who might be interested, I deducted the way cheats engine recognizes the games, and the way to enable cheats for the patched rom.

The Genesis core does support SRAM, but it does not support EEPROM, which Wonderboy in Monsterworld uses. That is why you need a patch to change the Wonder Boy ROM itself to use SRAM.

So long story short, the MiSTer's game ram reading is having the lot of the same issues older Flash Carts have.
Lack of SRam support is one of those issues.
Looking up and getting the same Rom patches seems to be the bets solution at the moment.

Theres still many games which haven't been SRAM patched yet. Would be great see those done one day, especially NBA Jam TE & NHLPA '93. I have no idea how easy it is to do though.
