PinUp – how to pause game?

[Flash]

I have looked high and low and cannot find anything. I could in Pinball X and can in VPX or FP. I did a search for “pause” on the wiki and found nothing, and have not found anything in this forum or VPForums.

 

HELP

Try the escape button. That should pause, press again that should continue.

I was unable to find a way to assign another key or assign a joystick button, so to use a button on your cabinet, you need to have a controller which can mimic a keyboard.

I believe F2 pauses the game.

I have a cabinet that worked fine with Pinball X using controller. Am able to assign any keyboard keys to any of the buttons on the cab. I also have it set up on my computer in desktop mode, so it has a keyboard. I can press ALL the keys if I desire.

 

I have VPX set so that “W” exits game in VPX key mapping settings.

 

If I assign the “quit emulator” control in PinUp to “ESC” it obviously quits the game as does “W” (mirroring VPX) which does not return to PinUP, but goes to desktop.

If I assign the “quit emulator” control in PinUp to “Q”, hitting “ESC” either 1) does nothing is I have “Disable ESC” checked in VPX, or 2) returns to desktop (no PinUp) if “disable ESC” is unchecked in VPX.

This does nothing in either a game launched in PinUp or just opened normally through VPX.

 

Bottom line is that there is no key assignment for “Pause Game”, so now what?

did You come to any conclusion with pause ? I need pause for my son playing when using VPX with Popper.

Yeah, doesn’t work. Popper has issues with VLC also. I had installed a version simply to look at videos, then nothing works. Uninstalling didn’t fix it. Sorry but that is not a feasible solution. Pinball Y seems to be a viable option.
