Chromebook 3 dot menu (remove controller GUI)

ChromebookUser · 05-11-2019, 08:24 AM #1

Tried searching but can't find an answer.

I have a Pixelbook and am trying to access the menu to remove the GUI controller overlay.

Dolphin says to swipe down from the top but when I do this, I get the Android menu options but do not see the 3 dot menu.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Press the back button.

Pressing the back button (top left arrow) prompts text that says press back again to exit. Pressing again closes the program.

I am looking for a way to get to the menu that can not be accessed any other way but through the 3 dots.

I would really like to know this too. I have been trying to map a button on my gamepad to open the menu and I haven't been able to discover the syntax to open the menu. anyone?

I have searched google and here and have came across this question in multiple places, but I have not found anyone with a solution.

There's an entire menu system that can not be accessed.

How can I ask a developer about this issue? This is a pretty big bug that no one has an answer to.

On a Chromebook to get the 3 dot menu to appear you have to minimize then maximize the Dolphin window.

However controllers will map and work fine in the menu but are broken once you launch any game. See this bug report on that

Would love to get the devs eyes on this one and help us Chromie's out Smile

Hi all. I'm also having issues with finding the three-dot menu in Dolphin. Tried minimizing and maximizing the window. I see it for a second (and hardly that) and am not able to press it in that short amount of time. Also get the suggestion to "swipe down from the top". Fine. Tried that in tablet mode. Did not work either.

Do anyone have a solution? Smile
