Description

In Desert Strike you can open your map and mission menu by pressing the pause button.
On Bizhawk (latest Build tested : 5875df4b) the pause button will freeze the game and no more inputs are possible. To be sure I tested it on some other emulators/cores (GearSystem, GensPlus, Fusion) and in all of them you can open the menu normally.
