Which flag is "this flag"? There are RESET_IN_PROGRESS and VRAM_LOST.
Both are fine by me to exist.
I think I made a wrong conclusion here. Somehow I read that it would be
possible to have a reset happen, and if VRAM is not lost, then the
context could work again.
Should there be some wording added to say the context is permanently
broken on any kind of reset? Or is that for UMD to decide?
