Description
When booting a rom, soft resetting, or hard resetting, Bizhawk will usually hang for a second before loading the game. When using GLideN64 you also usually get a glitchy screen during the hang (picture provided with the source being DK64). Also when soft resetting it does not properly perform the action. For example in Super Mario 64 when pressing the reset button it usually plays an animation that transitions the screen to black, then the title screen loads. In Bizhawk the emulator just hangs for a second before reloading the title screen.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing N64 ROM booting and soft and hard resets, with GLideN64 enabled for the graphical glitch; done means boot and reset transitions occur without the hang, incorrect behavior, or glitchy screen.
