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

There is an entire thread that has a bunch of AHK tricks for cabinets. Try a search with "AHK fun". I think the same guy who made this made one for volume also. If you find it, please post how you installed it. :cheers:
EDIT: I found the link:

try a little app called VolumeTray. it allows you to assign hotkeys to practically any volume adjustment (system, wav, midi, mute...) I've used it for years.

very small and very free.

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

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. :(

I didn't like the shifted P1 and P2 = Esc on the ipac because half the time it didn't exit if i wasnt co-ordinated enough..... plus my 4 year old kept exiting when mashing the CP so I installed a black pushbutton under the overhanging CP and assigned Esc to that on my IPAC (using P4 button 6 or something useless)
So now all i have to do is install the above app and no little hands can exit on me mid game
sweeeet :cheers:

Yeah I sort of regret not having any admin buttons for that reason. I figured the shift keys would be enough, but my nieces are constantly exiting 2 player coop games when they both hit their respective start buttons at the same time. I may end up doing as you have done if I can find a stealthy place for the exit button.

Fantastic find! Works great with my IPAC. I'm not using shift functions. I have a big red "Exit" button mapped to escape. ;)
