I believe if you put a momentary low (ground) on the blanking line this will initiate a system reset.
Edit: the same thing can be accomplished by driving the output of the 5V threshold detector on the CPU board low to simulate a 5V undervoltage fault. This is likely better as you force the ASIC to generate the blanking pulse.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Any one game in particular?
That's a good question I took "any way to reset a SS game?" literally as how to wire a reset switch into a Bally Scared Stiff machine ...
Looking at the OPs two listed games, RBION ia a Stern Whitestar game; this board set already has a reset button on the CPU/Sound board which makes it easy ... the other game is a Williams system 11 and I cant help you there, the OP may be better off posting in the early Solid State forum for answers.
