Restart If you specify OS_RESET_RESTART as the value for reset in the OSResetSystem function’s first argument, the system reloads the executable file (the .dol file) from the Nintendo GameCube™ Game Disc and then restarts the application. For details, see the section on the OSResetSystem function in the Nintendo GameCube Function Reference Manual. -

Controller. The Rumble motor is also halted when the OSResetSystem function is called. Wait for end of writing to Nintendo GameCube Memory Card If the reset process is inadvertently executed while data is being written to the Memory Card, the integrity of the data will be lost. -
Page 5: Hot Reset And Restart

To access the state of the RESET Button within the application, please perform polling using the function OSGetResetSwitchState. -
