Add an option to the menu to automatically RESET the core after mounting a VHD image #12

Hi,

this pull request implements the feature discussed in #11. As a recap:

If the new option "Reset after Mount" is set to No (default), the behavior of the core is unchanged.
If the option is set to Yes the core will reset when the mounted image is changed from the menu. This allows autobootable images to be loaded more easily, giving a similar user experience as with ROM cartridges.

I tested it over 20190712 and is working fine. I had problems running master (even without my patch), so I cannot test it there.

Thank you for the patch! Just curious, what is wrong with master currently?

nilp0inter commented 5 years ago

The master branch compiled but the resulting core only got me a black screen. I don't know if there is something else I have to update (maybe the Linux part)?

Anyway, It is my first time using Quartus software and I don't think I correctly imported the project because it didn't compile right away. I had to manually add all /sys files to the project configuration for it to compile.

My conclusion is that the most probable cause of the fault is my setup, not the master branch; but I am not sure.

you need to use quartus 17.0 Then open project by opening MSX.qpf file. Then it should compile without errors.

nilp0inter commented 5 years ago

Oh, ok, that should be the problem, I am using Quartus 18.1. I am going to downgrade and test master again.

nilp0inter commented 5 years ago

I tested it with Quartus 17.0. Everything is working fine.

Thanks!
