If you have an encoder that supports it (I-Pac, KADE, KeyWiz), the "shift button" approach that Felsir mentioned works great especially if you want to keep it looking more like a regular cab than a MAME cab.

I'm confused by this. ???
Isn't the combination button press something that's taken care of by mapping in mame? I just map a pause button and use it as a combo "shift" button.
Pause + P1 start = exit (default Esc)
Pause + P2 start = settings (default TAB)
Pause + P1 start + P1 button 1 = reset (default F3)

MAME supports button combos, other emulators may not. Some control interfaces support a shift function which sends a completely different input to the computer when used, effectively nearly doubling the amount of inputs on the board.
