In Game Reset
A PIC-based hardware modification for the SNES that monitors the buttons pressed on a controller and performs various actions.
NOTE: MY IGR IS DEPRECATED AND I NO LONGER RECOMMEND USING IT. It has several compatibility issues especially with respect to games that do not use Auto Joypad Read (an SNES feature).
I highly recommend using borti4938’s improved uIGR instead. It is based on my code but runs on a faster PIC, has compatibility issues resolved and a number of additional features added.
Hi ikari_01, Is it possible to add the “In Game Reset” feature to the SD2SNES firmware?
[…] this if you have a one chip PPU SNES (more difficult to mod for 50/60hz). Then there’s the In Game Reset (IGR), for controlling the reset button from your controller! And you can also download the SuperCIC […]
[…] modding guru ikari_01, who gave us the amazing SuperCIC (switchless modchip) has released the IGR – In Game Reset. Although it’s not necessary to use with the SuperCIC mod, it is a nice addition to it. […]
Hi Ikari
Have been using your switchless mod for a while and decided to try the ingame reset.
Works perfectly and with the Everdrive cart is perfect when changing roms over.
Good work my friend.
Hi Ikari and thank you again for this other amazing mod 😀 I still have a question, L+R+Select+ X isn’t reseting my sd2snes (another BIG thank you for this one ^^ ). It just does the same than a “normal” reset. Is this intended ? Like SuperCIC (if present) not used by default ? Also when I’m holding the original reset button in order to reset the sd2snes, my snes just continues switching SuperCIC modes. (tested on a mod-free snes, it works perfectly) Still it’s not disturbing normal operation, consider this post as a report not a complaint … lol… Read more »
Where have you place the files?
Thank you
In case you are referring to using the IGR files with sd2snes somehow: They are not related.
The IGR files (mainly the .hex file) are meant to be used on a PIC16F630 microcontroller soldered to the controller port lines inside the SNES. It’s a SNES mod independent of sd2snes.
Good evening friends, get me one doubt. If I download these files from the link right above and put them dentra of Sd2snes folder on my sdcard. This means that I can restart my snes for control is that? Thank you. Luiz
Correcting ……. Good evening friends, get me one doubt. If I download these files from the link above and put them into the folder on my sdcard Sd2snes. This means that I can restart my snes for control is that? Thank you. Luiz
No, these files are meant to run on a PIC-microcontroller (PIC16F684) which has to be build into your SNES.
Thanks for updating this page Ikari 🙂 I really appreciate this!
There were some issues reported to me using third party controllers. I hopefully resolved this by a quite huge update of the files. They can be grabbed from here:

Best 🙂
Hi borti4938
In the description you say:
“This version of the code shall be used only in combination with the SCIC.”
Is there a way to make it work without the SuperCIC ?
Please let me hack star warfare to buy everything to be good
Looks like this link is dead
Fixed, thanks!
Hello! I recently purchased an FXPAK Pro, and when I upgraded to this firmware, everything worked great until I go and turn on the “in game hooks” option on the menu. After that point, no game will boot up. It just shows a black screen. Even if I turn off “in game hooks”. I have to actually go and reinstall the new firmware again to get it working, but it every time I do the same thing, it breaks the software. Is this a bug?
Hm, strange behaviour. Are you using a custom theme on the menu?
Could you show the file “config.yml” from the sd2snes folder on the card after it stops working?
