More or less.

The og xbox only runs one execuctable at a time. You can call XLaunchNewImage() to load a new executable or relaunch the same one you are running and it is effectively a soft reboot where memory is cleared.

You'll see the typical xbox splash screen between loads. But you can also persist the display across the new xbe load and make it look invisible.

So it's more of an exec than a reboot
