Noob question: How To Exit NES Game

Just got RetroPie and successfully setup MAME. Moving on to NES and according to documentation I read hitting start+select is supposed to exit a game. The only thing happening for me is the game pauses. How do I get this to work?

It’s start + hot key, select is the default hot key. But you may have changed it when configuring the controller

It's start+select, yeah, but if you have two controllers it will only work on one.

but if you have two controllers it will only work on one.

Specifically, it works on Controller #1. This can be an issue if something like a keyboard is being detected as a controller (I have a few wireless keyboards that are detected as AirMouse Devices, and count as a controller to RetroPie).

I wonder if [Settings, Input, Unified Menu Control = On] would help?

EDIT: And/Or [Settings, Input, All Users Control Menu = On]?

I can't try it right now.

EDIT2: I tried those settings and it didn't work.
