3.0 Boot ROM Functions
SEGA SATURN Logo Display
Hardware and initialization checks are performed before the SEGA SATURN logo is
displayed, while a SEGA SATURN game disc check is performed while the logo is
being displayed. The game starts if the disc is recognized as a SEGA SATURN game
disc. The Multiplayer is executed if the SEGA SATURN game disc is not recognized.
After resetting the SMPC, the SEGA SATURN logo is displayed after the Set Clock
screen appears. Press the RESET button while pressing the A button to skip the logo
animation and to go directly to the Multiplayer. Press the RESET button while
pressing LEFT or RIGHT on the Control Pad to skip the logo animation and to go
directly to the System Settings screen. Press any button to skip the logo animation
and to go directly to the game.

tions. Perform initialization of backup memory if data cannot be loaded.
