My c64 has a one-shot which drops the RESET line low.  This provides a warm
start so that you can recover from a fatal crash without turning your machine
off & thus losing what's in memory.  I've known others, however, who simply
shorted the RESET line to ground (active low as I recall).  They haven't had
any problems, but I wouldn't hold the switch down too long if I had that
configuration on my machine.  The back of your PRG will have a circuit which
you can modify if you want to do this.  Their junk is for power up, but can be
changed a bit.  Just trace the RESET line back out & notice where it triggers
it.
