Hack description

This patch add an sram save/load function.
No more need to write down your passwords!

When you're entering a "password house", your password it automatically saved into SRAM.

After a power cycle, you can easily continue your adventure by select "CONTINUE" in the menu.

Checksum already corrected to work correctly on us/euro consoles.

Update v1.1
- Auto detect pad type at start.
If a Megadrive/Genesis pad is detected, PAUSE is called with Start button.

- If no save already present, continue launch "new game"

- Stack et slots init corrected. If you make a repro and use a simple MD MS adapter, it will boot on megadrive. (original game freeze / black screen)

Update v1.2
- a little fix for emulators (sram init)
