Summary MESS-specific 06160: apple2gs: Special key sequences !
Description MESS keys = Apple IIgs keys
---------------------------------------
Alt_R = Option (Solid apple)
Alt_L = Command (Open apple)
F12 = Reset key

When using special key sequences, make sure to hold down the keys after pressing and releasing Reset key (F12)!
Steps To Reproduce Upon booting, when you see the "Open Apple" move back and forth on the screen, press...

Ctrl + Command + Reset = Force the reboot
Ctrl + Alt_L + F12 = works in MESS !

Ctrl + Option + Reset = Reboot via a setup menu
Ctrl + Alt_R + F12 = works in MESS !

Ctrl + Command + Option + Reset = Run a self-test -------> EDIT: (Note: on some places it is said: "Command + Option + Reset" / and "Command + Option" on power-up!)
Ctrl + Alt_L + Alt_R + F12 = does not work in MESS !???

Ctrl + Command + Escape = Desk Accessory menu
Ctrl + Alt_L + Esc = does not work MESS !???

Ctrl + Reset = Basic prompt
CTRL + F12 = does not work in MESS !??? (Note: was working fine in f.e. an old MESS143u3b!)
Additional Information All special key sequences tested to work on GSport or ActiveGS emus!
(Note: on ActiveGS emu the WinKey = Option !)

Manage to start the self-test by keeping pressed "Command + Option" (i.e. Alt_L + Alt_R) during power-up phase, but the test did not pass! (System bad: 05012400)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Btw. only AppleGS emu that passes the self-test is GSport ... it reports SYSTEM GOOD!
I needed to press F1 + Alt_R + F12 on GSport emu to start the self-test as Alt_L + Alt_R + F12 seems not working! (at least on my PC)

Note: Self-tests will pass if speed = 2.8MHz and "Enable Text Page 2 shadow = Disabled for ROM 01" in emu F4 menu.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


PS. Seems some old machines also have self-test: (Note: just wait a little when screen with colors appears)

apple2e
-----------
Ctrl + ALt_R + F12 = self-test --> ROM:E8
But on AppleWin emu reports --> KERNAL OK (Note: use Pause/Break instead of F12 key!)

apple2ee
apple2ep
-------------
Ctrl + ALt_R + F12 = self-test --> System OK
Same reports also on AppleWin emu ! (Note: use Pause/Break instead of F12 key!)

apple2c0
apple2c3
apple2c4
-------------
press Alt_L + Alt_R @ power-up = self-test --> System OK

All of these key sequences work in current MAME.
