Need help, strange issue

[Gumdoc 2]

So, this one has me stumped. It only occurs when I run Retroarch through LB, not when I run it standalone.

I set my Hotkey to Select, and I save state through Select-R1. When I do that, though, I get a message on the lower right that says "null" before it says the state was saved, but then I get a screen with a start/pause icon in the upper right. At that point, I'm pretty much frozen, I can exit the game with Start-Select but nothing else. I tried every change I can think of in Retroarch but like I said, if I run Retroarch standalone, no problem, it's only when I launch through LB.

Anyone seen this, or better yet, know how to resolve it? I can save through Quick Menu but would prefer to do in-game if possible.

Thanks for any help.

And, I did make sure that the game pause option was unchecked in LB if that's in any way related.

Its possible you have Retroarch set to automatically pause when it doesnt have focus, and somehow your combo, is maybe effecting that somehow, maybe Launchbox startup/shutdown screen related?

If you mean the setting in user interface to "pause content when not active", that was already set to off. I'll look into the LB startup/shutdown that you mentioned...
