How to prevent going into BIOS and when resetting during attract mode?

[ZTylerDurden]

Can you guys check this out?

For what? I already told you that the only option is to add a patch to the game code.

Like the folks above who replied/confirmed afterward, GDEMU has an ini that should solve this by leveraging reset_goto = 1 for the gdi stored in folder 01. ABXY+Start while in "attract" with reset_goto = 1 should not go back into BIOS menu. But it's not working for me but I'm being told it should.

A+B+X+Y+START is an exit function to the BIOS menu.
don’t try to look for a problem where there is none, the function works as intended, and if you need it to work like a reboot, then the function needs to be changed.
GDMENU and openmenu modify this function so it works like a reboot.

Ok, sorry about that.

I confused folks leading them to believe they could reboot the game without going into BIOS using ini flag reset_goto with no gdmenu involved.

what is the name of the game? full name with region
TOSEC, REDUMP, Dubcity collection?

[ZTylerDurden]

TOSEC
NFL Blitz 2000 v2.000 (1999)(Midway)(US)[!]

If trying to assist in investigating/modifying the function, thank you. If it's a uniform location in hex for TOSEC/US I can proceed to modify the rest of the 9 games for my cabinet. In any case, I'm exploring other solutions given this function to BIOS.

one more question, are you using optimized iso tracks or bin?

[ZTylerDurden]

bin

theoretically this code should be universal for all GDIs on the KATANA SDK, for WINCE need test

Let us know how it goes! Also, I wanna see that cabinet! Ha!
