When Soft Reset to Menu option on Terraonion MODE is set to "CDPlayer->MODE" Save Game Copier does not load #31

Running MODE firmware 1.04 and using SGC 3.5.0 and I just changed the Soft Reset to Menu option to "CDPlayer->MODE" and now Save Game Copier does not load (blank black screen). When I change this setting to either of the two other Reset options, SGC loads just fine.

I don't own a MODE, what does the "CDPlayer->MODE" option do? Does it hook ABC+Start?

I can ask the TerraOnion devs for advice as well.

The "CDPlayer->MODE" setting makes it so when you press the physical reset button on the console, the Saturn will restart to the CP player screen where you can Start Application, Eject, Play/Pause, etc. Then when you select Start Application, you go back into the MODE start screen.

I'm not sure why this wouldn't work. I would have to ask TerraOnion to take a look.

@Terraonion-dev will have to comment on the specifics, but the option is one that hooks into the reset code to allow you to soft boot back out to the CD menu. It is not compatible with all games. A more compatible option is to turn on fast boot and change the option to "Driect to Mode" this works last I checked. Alternatively you could create a "mode.cfg" (a simple text file) with the following "Flags=0" (without the quotes) and place it in the same folder as the SGC. This will override the soft reset settings.

Awesome - thanks for the .cfg suggestion, @RevQuixo!
