Pressing back button on Saving State freezes emulator/retrox

Postby cryptic_crusader » Tue Apr 28, 2020 3:22 am

As of apr 27th latest update, I started noticing when I use the save state on game boy, etc. (emulator doesn’t matter), the game and device buttons become unresponsive if I accidentally press “back” instead of selecting save state in-game WHEN USING A CONTROLLER. The game music continues though and I have to force quit retrox to resume. As a result save states are not working at all.

Steps
Pair a controller (I use a SN 30 pro 8bitdo)
Start up game
Press start + select
Press down twice
Highlight save state in menu
Press back ( a button) instead of selecting save state (b button)

Results in game resuming but is unresponsive. I can’t quit or do anything with the controller or android back button on screen.
Expectation is game resumes and is fully responsive

Mmm I'm almost sure that the A/B buttons are only for RetroX and not the emulators.
Can you try activating those options again to see if that was the problem and not just a coincidence?
