Escape key now has to be held down two seconds to work. Sweet!

Yeah, I would recommend downloading it.  It only takes a few minutes.

Awesome!  I need to try this.

FWIW it doesn't seem to work with the IPAC (at least the older IPAC I have) since ESC is a shifted key.  The IPAC seems to only send one momentary keypress event on shifted keys.  In other words, if you go into notepad and hold the shift key down and then press down on player one Joy1 ('P') and hold it down, you will only get one 'P' and it will never repeat.  I think the script needs to know that you have the key held down to start the timer so it never gets to 2 seconds.  :(

Well, I bet a post on the forums over at www.autohotkey.com, could get a script that would make the pressing of the escape key to cause a two second delay before acting.  It seams feasible.

Nice find. I'm definitely going to check it out once my cab becomes playable. (I have lots of buttons in a small area.)

Next up is to find a way to control the volume without exiting MAME, and just using buttons and joystick. :dunno
