It states in the MAME FAQ that it doesn't work that well:

H08. Can I save my game and resume it later?
This feature is being slowly implemented because it can be helpful to MAME developers. It's an especially complex feature, so only a small portion of the drivers support it. If you want to try it, press Shift-F7 and any key to save a state, and F7 and the key you previously pressed to load a state. This way you can save more than one state, for example by pressing A, B, C, etc. after the save or load state key. However, don't expect all drivers to work properly with this.
Besides, I never really need to save my game in any of the games I play... I just don't last long enough in Robotron or Defender to ever really worry about having to start over again :)
