Removing Wiimote from controller configuration unexpectedly prevents Home button from opening menu

[Former user]

Original [issue 226](https://code.google.com/p/genplus-gx/issues/detail?id=226) created by naesten on 2012-06-06T15:52:10.000Z:

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Using the Wiimote, reconfigure Player 1 to use a GameCube controller 2. Still using the Wiimote, resume the game 3. Press Home button to open the menu

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I was expecting to see the menu.

Instead, I saw nothing.

If non-configured input devices aren't going to be able to open the menu, it would probably be a good idea to at least (a) warn the user about this and (b) tell the user how to open the menu using the configured devices, at least when they have just removed the last Wiimote from their configuration...

What version of the emulator are you using (official, SVN revision,...)?

Installed on 2012-06-05 using Homebrew Browser.

Please provide any additional information below (Emulator settings, Console setting,...)

Everything else was at the defaults.

(a) sure, i should display a warning every time user is changing input configuration, very user friendly :-)

(b) there is an user manual for this, I suggest reading it, i actually spent lot of time making it the most complete possible and I expect people to at least read it when they are stuck.

Sorry, but not everything can be made into the GUI.

Anyway, this behavior has been modified in current SVN (see Issue210), I still do not see why someone who want to use gamecube controller for playing would want to press wiimote button to access the menu but here you go, it seemed to be an important issue for some people...

I was mostly thinking of a "didn't read the manual, don't have internet/PC handy, want to save-state" scenario...

And yes, the manual \*is\* pretty nice, though it might be nicer if it was available in something besides Word format...

Well, it is distributed as PDF with the emulator in the zip I thought it was better than usual plain-text files but it must be something special with README files as nobody never read them anyway :-p

Ah. I'm not sure if that was included in the Homebrew Browser package I used or not... (I'm guessing not?), but either way, I hesitate to remove the medium from which an application is running. (Anyway, as it happens, I do have access to Word, so it was no big deal.)

Thanks!
