Installation

While each different board may be different, generally they are in a Quick Solder Board (QSB) format that installs onto a controller port's pins with a single wire connected to a motherboard-specific point. Instructions for this install are from Will's Console Modifications.

  1. Place the In-Game-Reset board over the controller port pin holes and solder it in place. You can also install on port 2 instead, or one on each.

  2. Solder a wire from the RESET point on the In-Game-Reset board to the Reset point on your motherboard. Different motherboards have different Reset location points, see the below image corresponding to your motherboard version.
    • If you have an IGR mod on both port 1 and port 2, you can connect the reset wire from each board to the same point.
