need PC-10 free play with working reset button BIOS

To throw another wrench in the bucket. In free play my reset works on most games, but Super Mario Brothers 3 doesn't like the reset button and will only go back to main screen via channel select & enter.

Kinda strange but out of the 16 games i think i have, I believe SMB3 is the only one like that. And unless the previous owners switched the bios, which i doubt, i have stock bios.

Anyone else have SMB3? and can see if urs acts like mine?
 
SMB3 should work normally with the Reset button. I've had numerous SMB3 carts that definitely work with the Reset.

In the past I've noticed the exact same glitch depending on a specific lineup of games on the main PCB. It could be an issue with that particular SMB3 cart or it could be an issue with another cart in your current lineup.

Start troubleshooting by running the board with only SMB3 installed and see if you have the same problem. If it works normally, then add one game at a time until you find the cart that doesn't like to play nicely with the SMB3.
 
hmm... well i tried just SMB3 and it no reset with reset button on freeplay.

tried in a diff spot.. same thing.

I dunno.. its weird.
