Problems with nintendo ds and sega gensis

Im using lakka retro 64 bit distro. my setup is a amd x2 4200 with a 2gig of ram 7300le nvidia and have the same problem with a amd x2 5000 with a 1 gig of ram an onboard 6600. my problem is when i play a ds game or sega game with a ps3 controller, when i hit the ps button in the center to go to retro menu it dont the game just stay on the screen like it paused. i tap the button again an i see the menu flick an back to the game like i hit resume… not sure how i can access the options if i cant get to the menu of retro…

thanks for any help…

You can press both of the joysticks to access the Lakka menu (in case you don’t know, both joysticks can be clicked like buttons - doing this is known as pressing L3 or R3, respectively). Hope this helps.

Just tried it. Does the same as if I’m hitting the center button. I see a flicker of the blue menu then the game comes back but just as if it hit start to pause the game…
