BadMouth:

Autohotkey cures all, but it's up to you to learn how to use it.

Can be triggered by http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/_IfWinActive.htm

severdhed:

a little more info might be nice.  What exactly are you trying to accomplish?  are you talking about a game running in Mame?  or a pc game?  If mame and no front end, how are you launching the game?

MAME TIME:

im launching geometry wars, and once I exit out I wanted the pc to shutdown, im using 2 joysticks and 2 buttons-enter and escape.

EMDB:

You could create a simple batch file which launches the game and afterwards shuts down:

c:\game\geometry.exe
shutdown /s

To start the game use the batch file instead of calling the game executable directly.
