Summary	04107: All sets in aristmk4.c: Unable to write save state
Description	Upon attempting to save any game's state in this driver, you are given the following message, and an empty [gamename] folder in ./sta Error: Unable to write save state due to a disk write error. Verify there is enough disk space. Doesn't affect any other driver I have tested, including 86lions.c and aristmk5.c. This bug possible coincides with the games being promoted to working status, for example, save states work for 'eforest' in 0.133u2.

None of the three drivers are set up for saving, so it's not surprising nor it it a reportable bug if it doesn't work. The only exception to unable to write is if MAME crashes when attempting to save - which it doesn't seem to do here.
