Description

BizHawk 2.5.2, Win7 x64, NesHawk Core,
Vs Super Mario Bros. [!] rom from GoodSet

  1. Load ROM
  2. Insert Coin
  3. Screen prompts "PUSH BUTTON (Blue) FOR 1-PLAYER"
    Now whatever I press, it doesn't start.

In FCEUX, "select" button works.

Research direction

Reproduce the steps in BizHawk 2.5.2 with the listed Vs Super Mario Bros. ROM and the NesHawk core, then compare Select-button behavior with FCEUX. Done means the blue-button prompt accepts the mapped input and starts the one-player game.
