I read somewhere that you should patch it because it used EEPROM to save and not SRAM.

You can find a patch here (I didn't try, so I don't know if it works)

I tried right after reading your message and it works on my side. Did you enable the auto save ? And be sure to go back to the core menu after a save.
This is the way it works on my analogue machine and I applied the very same technic on my MisTer.

Me too,I started a game and passed the first boss.
I could save.
But when I relaunch the game, I can only choose New Game.

Here is a link to the rom patch in case anybody needs it in the future.

It is an IPS file so you need the lunar patcher to patch the rom.

Yeah apparently the MiSTer is prone to the same problems with some game roms that Flash Carts run into on real hardware.
It is my great regret that we live in an age that is proud of machines that think and suspicious of people who try to.

Does anyone know how to fix the cheats when you use the patched version of the game. The cheats don't work.

Is the rom named differently? Try changing the name to match the unpatched version.

I think the name is the same. I'll go back and check.

Hi,

I had the same problem with saving, and I fixed it with the patcher.

in fact, the Cheats engine recognises the game based on its CRC-32 value.
For "Wonderboy in Monsterworld UE" unpatched the archive name is : Wonder Boy in Monster World (USA, Europe) [1592F5B0].zip
All you have to do is to copy the cheats archive, and change its name to have the CRC-32 of the patched rom.
I have tested the value calculated on my system : Wonder Boy in Monster World (USA, Europe) [2C84A714].zip and it works, when loading the associated rom, the cheats are available, I tested one and it worked.
