Thanks @faeran I appreciate you trying to help. So mine has the same things checked off and also I did not add any Scripts it's basically its default I have no idea why it wont work for me I also have the have the latest copy of pcsx2. Understanding that its pauses for others I just can't figure it out a reason why it wouldn't work in my setup I think I am going to get a fresh copy of pcsx2 and keep it separate from my pcsx2 main folder see launchbox will pause at all . Maybe there's something in my Main folder that's keeping it from pausing and resume correctly.
