Reset button - was sourced from an old computer that I had, it was just a simple pushbutton switch. I actually pulled the reset pin off the cartridge port, I already had to do work in there so it was no biggie. Yeah OR Gates are nice, but I didn't have one and also like having a physical button like my Genesis console.

SMS mode - just one wire and two solder points. One of the points is to a very small IC. I used very thin kynar wiring and it wasn't bad. You just need to make sure you don't short the pins next to it after the install. It really wasn't that bad. Confirmed it worked by playing SMS on my Everdrive MD flash cart.

I really should do the SMS trick, how hard was that?
