It seems that on some ROMS trhat are supposed to have a Battery Backup (like Micromachines '96 and SOnic 3). Gens isn't autosaving like it should do, meaning I have to manually save the state every time, which is a pain. Do other Emu's not have this problem? Or is there a way to turn on this option in Gens?

I've been having that same problem in Mega Man for what seems like years now. Looks like an emulator called Ages will save properly in it. I had to beat a boss while typing this post to find out. Never had trouble getting Sonic or any other game to save in Gens though. Try more emulators, it can often help.

Mega Man: The Wily Wars has known save issues, it's a problem with the ROM itself not the emulator from what I gather. The emulator thinks the ROM doesn't have SRAM for some reason, it's better on others but none I've tried actually work right. For example, Gens saves after you beat a boss, and that boss' picture is blacked out, other emulators don't even get this far.

Wily Wars does indeed have a saving problem. One version of Rockman Megaworld doesn't though (Rockman Megaworld (J) [a1][!].bin), and saves just fine. It is also NTSC, and runs faster. The only problem is a little japanese text here and there, but it's not much to worry about.

I've never had a problem saving with any other rom though, so maybe it's your version of Gens. I'm using Gens Plus (which is an older Gens version, but with Game Gear / Master System support), and saving works fine.

Thanks for the ROM name, I was going to try Rockman Megaworld in PGen the other day but figured it'd be the same.
