yop got the same problem, i solved it by changing the exit button of my cab to be the pause and the quit button inside PinballX. QUIT=E EXIT EMU=ESC PAUSE/IN GAME=E so when i'm in the interface of PinballX the exit button propose the return-exit-shutdown menu when i'm in pinballfx2 in play, the same button pause the game and i can access the pause menu of the game when i'm in FP or VP, it's the pause menu of PinballX that appears tricky manip but it works cheers
