[SOLVED] AHK advice needed - Using shift to produce two keys per button
PL1:
I think the closest answer to what you are trying to do is to use a KADE/AVR encoder with a custom keymap -- Jon will probably whip one up for you if you ask him nicely. ;D
The difference between what you described and the KADE is that unlike the IPac, the KADE doesn't have an output associated with the shift (HWB on KADE), so you'd probably need separate P2 Start and HWB buttons. :dunno

Thanks PL1, bur buying new hardware not really solution im looking for, espdcially when spent 2 weeks wiring up my cab with minipac and keyboard hack!
On reflection, think it boils down to this - how do you send keys to mame (and potentially other non-sendkeys conforming emulators) from autohotkey.
Surely someone here must know!

With MAME, you can make a simple change in the source code and compile it yourself.
It's been posted about a few times, but I don't have a link.
Some searching should turn up the appropriate line to change.
With the other emulators, you really are out of luck unless they are open source and you know what to change.

just get a wireless keyboard and be done with it.

Thanks BadMouth - found it! That'll sort for mame, but from starting to trawl my emulators, fearing may have similar probs with others (ZSNES so far is one that doesn't work with AHK).
This seems like an elementary problem - is there any other software to do similar to AHK, but send the correct inputs to Mame and other emulators?
Thanks Michel - but not sure duct taping a wireless keyboard to the front of my control panel will be a good look!
