Added an empty "SAVE" folder to fix in-game saving and added cpu_max_year: 1998 to prevent occasional speed ups

Would it be better if the "SAVE" folder were added to the DAT?

We didn’t think the DAT could generate an empty folder. If it can, I can rework the PR.

An empty save folder can easily be added to the dat with

		<rom name="SAVE/" size="0" crc="00000000" md5="d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e" sha1="da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709"/>

So having a / at the end of the name there means it defines a folder. This is used to create empty folders but also to have folders created with a specific date/time stamp if applicable (by also adding the date field). There's quite a few like these in the DAT file we have.
