In other emulators when it is inactive it will pause itself automatically. Is there a feature like this in mednafen?

Hi there, even though I'm not a mednafen programmer I might help you with that. Can you manage to compile mednafen's latest release (1.22.1)?
For a quick and dirty patch you only have to add the following lines to src/drivers/main.cpp at line 1524:
PauseGameLoop(0);
And into line 1530 (or 1529 if have not patched the aforementioned) :
PauseGameLoop(1);
You can only patch the second item if you want the emulator to only pause on lost focus and have to un-pause manually when you get back, to avoid sound spouting unadvertedly after alt-tabbing back into it.
I'll try to make it into a configuration setting and if everything goes as planned I might attach a patch file (maybe even submit it) anytime soon.

Here's the two diff files, apply those patches and get an auto-pause version of mednafen.
There are 2 new configuration settings called "focus_pause" that pauses the game when focus is lost and "focus_resume" to resume upon focus.
Beware that for some reason I just discovered that my mednafen pause-emulator button is not working, neither for pausing/resuming, I don't know why, regardless the auto-resume is working a-ok.
To patch, on Linux, you can issue "patch -t src/mednafen.cpp <path-to-mednafen.cpp.diff>" and "patch -t src/drivers/main.cpp <patch-to-main.cpp.diff>"
