Wardner SRAM Save (Genesis) Romhack

This patch adds a save feature and some tweaks to the US release of Wardner.

The patch makes the following changes to the original game:

The high score table is saved in SRAM after a new score has been entered. The game loads the high scores again upon a fresh boot
Your progress is saved in SRAM at the start of each new stage from stage 2 onwards. To resume at the save point, hold B while pressing Start at the title screen. You regain your power-ups and gold whereas score and lives are reset. If nothing has been saved, the game will just skip the intro scene and start at stage 1
Since you now have infinite continues, the credits have been set to zero. The caveat is that you restart from the start of the stage instead of a check point. If you want to re-enable credits, you can use a Game Genie cheat
On stage 4, the timer was originally reset after talking to the witch. Since this could be exploited to farm score points, it has been disabled
Checksum check has been disabled. This allows the patch to be combined with other ones such as fusaru’s arcade colors hack
