Reset, and disk emulation

[rittwage]

Why does "reset" from the menu not boot a disk that has been inserted. You have to reset the computer again with F10. Why?

[sorgelig]

because F10 has been added specifically to boot the disk

[rittwage]

In most other cores, resetting from the core menu does not eject everything, it just resets the computer.

[sorgelig]

Well, different cores may have different behaviors depending on nature of specific system.
If i remember right, on real Atari 800 HW you have to hold down one key (option? forgot the name) on power up/reset to be able to boot from disk.

[rittwage]

It does boot from first power on from disk or tape. I suppose this is not a big deal, just strange.

The features added in https://github.com/woj76/Atari800_MiSTer/tree/pbi_bios introduce a direct disk boot option that minimizes interactions to start one disk titles, I am preparing a collective pull request from that branch.
