In-Game Pause button (Future Pinball) Throws back to PinballX

[cujopb]

I am using a  pinball wizard controller and when I am In-Game Pause button (Future Pinball) Throws back to PinballX.  This should not occur, but rather remain paused in Future Pinball.  If i I run future pinball outside of pinballx, I have no issues.

I am given the option to return to game or exit game.  Whatever I select PinballX hangs at a black screen.

Never tested it with FP, but  vpx pause indeed and goes to pinballx . Clicking on resume continues the vpx.

Not sure how FP works

Yes, it is how it is suppose to work.

Ill have to build a windows 7 setup and take a look...

Just an FYI: I also tested this with VPX and it does behave as expected (3 choices, Resume, Debug, Exit).  This is a different key though VPX uses the Escape vs. FP's Pause\Break key.

With future pinball - you should be sent to an actual pause screen - with high scores displayed.

@Tom Speirs For now I have a workaround - though not ideal, I am able to avoid PinballX from freezing up.

If I set PinballX Ingame\Pause to Pause\ Break and use Future Pinball's fixed Pause\ Break key thusly:

Via AHK Hotkey script, I ended up remapping my Pinball Wizard Controller's Pause key - to the Pause\Break key.  Then I removed the entry in PinballX for Joystick button (7)  for Pause altogether.  Essentially turning this into a KeyPress-only action.
