So when the double control is in effect, when i press up or down in the game for example, i can also hear BB navigation sounds for up and down. If I press A in the game, the game registers the A button being pressed but so does BB so BB launches the selected game again so i end up with 2 games running at the same time. No the correct behavior is for BB to not work when a game is running or other window/screen is the active window/screen. The other window(s) can be literally anything or even just the desktop on another screen. So with retroarch, it doesnt pause controls when its not the active window so I can play a game on 1 screen while browsing the net on another screen which is correct for my needs.
