why can my wife always make mame crash?
shateredsoul:
Yeah exactly! Ahh, hmm I have to go back and check if I put q and s as player 2 buttons. I'm using an Ipac, but I swear I took care of that issue early on. Maybe I took care of it for player 1 but forgot to check the player 2 side.
Still doesn't make sense why she can do it and the kids who also button mash don't.

I know the feeling!!
It only happens on (2) player games and she is player2 right?
That is a HyperSpin\Hyperlaunch issue.
Your player2 side probably has p2 btn2 and p2 btn3 sending "q" and "s". (Xarcade is this way)
Pressing those buttons by themselves is ok but pressed together they kill the Hyperlaunch script.
(its not actually crashing mame but minimizes it so you have to alt-tab back to it, still kills the moment)
Near the top of the Hyperlaunch script look for:
exitscriptkey= q & s
and change those keys to anything else that is not mapped on your controller
i.e.
exitscriptkey= m & n ;\\\or whatever

Well not sure about that one...maybe its somthing different entirely.
If mame actually crashes...dont know
If mame is minimized and alt-tab able...I think its Hyperlaunch
I stll have a similar problem after changing "q" "s" and it goes like this.
For me on XArcade Tank:
P1 btn1 = Alt
P2 btn3 = s
If im running Marquee Magician (Irfranview) with mame and 2 players are playing, that combo will close IrFranview, send Mame to the taskbar where I have to alt-tab back to Mame.
In either case for me, once Hyperlaunch is exited (like in previous post) or Marquee Magician is no longer running It never happens again. at least until I launch a new 2 player game.
Irfranview has no way currently to turn off its hotkeys and if some other programs are running this may happen too.
...and if I use autohotkey to remap "q" "s" or "alt" to somthing else mame doesnt recognise them in its config menu.

Your right, they know how to push the buttons to crash any system.
