Weird bug involving exiting Dolphin from Big Box

[cscottbrown]

Hi all. I'm having an issue that is most annoying. Technically, it's two issues but I'm sure they are intrinsically related so I'm posting both of them here to see if anyone knows what I should do.

Here is how I play Wii games on Big Box from my living room couch:

• Steam Link hardware connected to TV.
• Mayflash Dolphin Bar connected to Steam Link.
• Real Wiimotes connected to Dolphin Bar.
• Access Dolphin through Big Box in Steam.

All in all, this works well for me: I can play Wii games from the couch without many issues. This is how I start playing a game:

1. Fire up Steam Link using Xbox One controller
2. Navigate Steam using the controller and launch Big Box.
3. Navigate Big Box with the controller and launch Dolphin.
4. Set aside Xbox One controller and use Wiimotes to play.

When I'm done with a game, I pick up the Xbox One controller, turn it on, and then exit Dolphin using my shortcut (Start + B, although it shouldn't matter).

Anyway, with all that out of the way, here are the two problems:

• When I use my shortcut to bring up Bog Box's pause menu, it skips the pause menu and goes right to shutting down Dolphin. Usually I would hit the shortcut and then hit Exit Game, but I'm not given that option with Dolphin. To make matters worse, once I've exited Dolphin, my controller is unable to navigate Big Box at all. I need to go to my computer and manually shut down Big Box as the controller literally has no effect.
• If I'm in the middle of playing a Wii game and set my Wiimote down, I can't leave it unattended for long. After a few minutes of inactivity, Dolphin will stop responding to any controller input at all (both Wiimote and Xbox One). Once again, the only way to solve this is to go to my computer and manually shut down.

I am sure these two problems are linked and relatively sure they are Big Box issues, not Steam Link or Dolphin issues (although I could be wrong). If anyone has any advice, I'd really appreciate it!
