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

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.
