====== Pause Controller for VPX ======

Pausing an emulator (VPX/FP/ZEN FX) is usually different for each emulator. So it must be configured differently for each.

Steps to confgure VPX pausing.

Download zip file if you don't have **VPXPAUSE.EXE** already. Place this file into the **LAUNCH** sub-folder of pinupsystem. Remember to UNBLOCK ZIP!

**Step 1:** In Popper Controller Setup set a key/button to 'In Game Script'. This key should not be something like ESC or Q that VPX defaults as its pause menu. You can also look at your controller and see if it supports 'SHIFT' button/key combos.

**Step 2: ** In emulator setup VPX: In OTHER tab set it **In Game Script** to
<code>

START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXPAUSE.exe"

</code>

Tha'ts IT. Now when VPX is running this PAUSE message will appear on by BackGlass 'flashing'. Press the pause button again and it will close.

//note:  while running it will also check if vpx is actually running,  it will close automatically if vpx is not running.//
