You can reset the emulated machine at any time by using the “Reset” command from the file menu. There are two types of reset:
A soft reset is the same as a hardware reset achieved by pulling the RESET line down; a hard reset is more like a power on/power off sequence in that it makes sure the whole RAM is cleared.
It is possible that a soft reset may not be enough to take the machine to the OS initialization sequence: in such cases, you will have to do a hard reset instead.
This is especially the case for the CBM-II emulators. Those machines
examine a memory location and if they find a certain "magic" value they
only do what you know from the C64 as Run/Stop-Restore
.
Therefore, to really reset a CBM-II use hard reset.
