Original [issue 237](https://code.google.com/p/genplus-gx/issues/detail?id=237) created by superballena on 2012-07-05T19:07:58.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Load any game. 2. You should at least wait until the game starts loading. 3. Reset.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? No more dancing letters.

What version of the emulator are you using (official, SVN revision,...)? 1.7.0

Please provide any additional information below (Emulator settings, Console setting,...) European 2.00 BIOS Japanese 1.00 (enter the system menu, press eject, then reset)

Indeed, it happens for all BIOS for me:

1) when doing a soft-reset after some specific point during the BIOS animation or after the game has been loaded (not always)

2) while in the system menu itself (always)

It must be caused by the way I'm handling soft-reset on the CD side, I might be resetting stuff that should remain unchanged (I'm still not 100% sure of real behavior and it's not well described).

Shouldn't the tray open itself on Model 1 CD hardware when pressing the RESET button ? It doesn't happen in Kega though I think I was sure it was expected behavior. Maybe the animation is meant to be stopped in that case ?

Also seems 1) above depends on the game being loaded, some games always display the BIOS animation after a soft-reset during game, some doesn't.

At least on model 1 Japanese Mega-CD units, the CD tray always remains closed until you press the Eject button from the system menu.

It's quite an awkward behavior, specially since there's no actual physical Eject button and all, but that's the only way I know of opening the CD tray...

Word-RAM should be put back in 2M mode on reset, this fixes the logo not being displayed properly when doing a soft-reset after it was changed to 1M mode (hence why it only happened for some specific games, in BIOS system menu or when doing a reset at a specific moment)
