How do I get back to the main emulator selection screen if I'm currently in an emulator?  :dunno

Depends on what key you mapped it too.

I personally like having it setup as a menu. In preferences go to Controller>menus and set a key for the emulator menu. You can also set the key to "previous menus" in the"setup 1" tab. 

Edit: ok, I went back and re read your post. If your talking about trying to leave an emulator you have two options. 1 change the "quit executable" key to something like the tilde key, or any other unused key. And second you can also right click on your mouse when you get to the black screen and select quit emulator.

Ok, got it - thanks!   The more I get used to M.A. the more I like it - it's nice looking and easy to configure.  One day I'll take a look at making my own theme, but for now, I don't mind the existing graphics.

I just wished that M.A. is more active and release patches, or enhancements.....oh well, if it works, why fix anything.

Now that they've partnered with a larger company that makes cabs, I'm sure we'll see bigger things. There are a few glaring limitations. But I find working around them is best.
