Unable to access in-game menu on Mega Everdrive (pre-X series model) #8

Expected behavior and actual behavior

I have an earlier model Mega Everdrive. Unsure if this would be considered the V1 or V2 model, but pre-X3/X5/X7 series. On a stock Genesis, pressing START + Down on the controller will open the in-game menu to access save state settings. On the Mega Sg, this key combination fails to switch into the in-game menu.

Here are two screenshots from the Mega Everdrive's settings, in case any options are relevant:

Steps to reproduce the problem

Press START + Down during gameplay. The Mega Everdrive should switch to the in-game menu automatically.

Firmware version

Tested with both official firmware v4.2, 4.3 and Jailbreak Firmware v7.3 and 7.9.

Also tested using both an original wired 3-button Genesis controller and an 8bitdo 2.4g wireless controller, just to rule out it wasn't a specific controller issue.

Relevant Mega Sg settings

Also tested with both controllers in "Passthrough Mode" as well as "Hotkeys Disabled." Also ensured that no existing Mega Sg hotkey shortcuts were set to the same START + Down key combinations.

Do these flash cards normally specify the region? Have you tried switching the mega sg from auto to ntsc? Maybe it needs an official bios? Might pay to reach out to the creator of the card and ask how the functionality is triggered.
