Summary	04262: bbakraid and clones: "Initialize EEPROM" doesn't work
Description	The "Initialize EEPROM" option in the service menu, which should erase the high scores and other contents of the EEPROM and restore it to default contents, doesn't do anything.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Play the game and get a high score. 2. Enter Service Mode. 3. Select "Initialize EEPROM". Select "Yes" when it asks "are you sure". 4. Return to game mode. 5. Exit MAME for EEPROM can write. 6. Play the game again and notice that your high score is still there.
Additional Information	Affected set updated (March 2011): bkraidu -> bbakraid

No.07269 AWJ Developer Feb 27, 2011, 02:09	The high score initials are visible as plain ASCII in the .nv file, so you can even confirm using hexdump that your high scores are still there after "initializing".
