In-Game Reset (IGR) mods are a simple board that allows you to press a button combo to reset the console. There are multiple IGR mods for the PS1 including ones sold by Will's Console Modifications, RetroGamerStuff, and ConsolesUnleashed. All IGR solutions are based on PyroESP's open source code and gerbers are available on OSHPark.

Exclamation-circle-fill.svgCurrently only the ConsolesUnleashed board supports the PSOne.

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.

    8. Usage

    • Pressing L2 + R2 + SELECT + START gives a short reset pulse.
      • xStation = Reset the current game being played
    • Pressing L2 + R2 + SELECT + CROSS gives a long reset pulse.
      • xStation = Reset the system and return to game list
    • Lightgun: A + B + TRIGGER
      • xStation = Reset the system and return to game list

    PSA: QSB with faulty routing on OSHpark

    A warning to those looking to assemble their own QSBs. There is another project on OSHpark (not linked here) that is incorrectly wired such that the 8-volt pin on the controller is wired to the clock pin on the microcontroller. At best, this board will never function correctly, and is likely to permanently fry at least Pin 10 of the microcontroller.

    The broken board in question is illustrated below. All links to products and projects at the top of this page are safe to use.
