That's to wire a button to joystick 1 switches that will activate both up and down at the same time.... As it's normally impossible to push a joystick up and down at the same time, this button then sends a unique two button press that you can allocate to mean esc in Mame.

Fozzy, I cover that here - http://www.mameworld.net/tigerheli/encoder/pausekey.htm, however, this will NOT work on a KeyWiz.
The KeyWiz disables simultaneous Up and Down inputs on the P1 Joystick in it's firmware. The P2 Joystick can be used and P1 Left and Right can be used. There generally isn't much advantage in using one pair of Joystick directionals over another.
I am mainly mentioning this so McCoy178 doesn't try your idea and get mad that it doesn't work.

Yes sorry.... A Typo on my part there..... My brain must have been having holiday (vacation) when I typed that.. Which should have read: "That's to wire a button to joystick 2 (not joystick 1) switches that will activate both up and down at the same time...."
Where the hell was I... I should have noticed that one having been through exactly that myself. DOH! ::)
