With this simple mod, you can reset your console with your controller using a button combination.

This version is compatible with all "The Original PC Engine (White) and the CoreFrafx 1 & 2" models.

This is the perfect solution for Everdrives as these don't have an In Game Reset feature.
This will allow easy swapping of games without getting up out of the comfort of your chair :)

You can use this with or without any Everdrives to still bring an awesome feature to the console.

Holding (I+II+RUN+SELECT) for 2 seconds gives the console a 2 second reset pulse.
