Ok, I actually woke this morning and tried these out ....here are the mappings:

-  (dash) is KEYCODE_MINUS
- (minus keypad) is KEYCODE_MINUS_PAD
* (multiply keypad) is KEYCODE_ASTERICK
/ (divide keypad) is KEYCODE_SLASH_PAD
/ (forwardslash) is KEYCODE_SLASH
\ (backslash) is KEYCODE_BACKSLASH; (semi-colon) is KEYCODE_COLON
` (tick) is KEYCODE_TILDE
. (period) is KEYCODE_STOP
[ (open bracket) is KEYCODE_OPENBRACE
] (closed bracket) is KEYCODE_CLOSEBRACE
' (single quote) is KEYCODE_QUOTE


... no idea what KEYCODE_BACKSLASH2  represents .... oh well.... might just be extra

I looked at the official source, and they don't have a KEYCODE_BACKSLASH2 (as of mame 0.104 & 0.106). 

Where did you get the KEYCODE_BACKSLASH2?  If it was, say, a ctrlr file from 0.80, I'd like to check that out.

I noticed that Johnny5 had a KEYCODE_BACKSLASH2 settings to map to a label.... so I guess it was probably from an older version perhaps ... I really do not know.
