Hi everyone! waves

I am still extremely new to speedrunning, so I apologize if this is a "well known" answer already.

I have been fortunate to obtain an Everdrive N8 Pro, so I can run games on the original NES system Hardware.

I believe I understand that physically pressing the reset button on the console itself to hard reset is preferred, because this resets the global timer, and allows for a better chance to get a good seed/RNG, correct? (Please feel free to let me know if I am mistaken.)

If I hot Down and Start, I can pull up the Everdrive menu and select reset. I was just a bit confused why this is not a good way to reset? Does resetting from the everdrive menu act more like a soft reset, and the global timer jumps back at unpredicted intervals?

I am working to understand is all.

I appreciate the insight! I am looking forward to making some PB attempts. Hope you all have a wonderful day!
