Exit = P1 down + P1 Start
Pause P2 up + P2 Start
Joysticks for navigating menus, P1 start to select.

Awesome, will work this into my cabinet. Too many times I've hit the ESC key on accident. Sometimes the kids think I did it on purpose. I already have a dedicated Pause, so I will simply make the ESC a delayed button with no immediate button press functionality.
Thanks,
Joseph Elwell.

that thread is pretty old, and i think the script has been tweaked a bit since then. I'll try to remember to grab a copy of my current script and post it.
EDIT: here is the script that i am currently using. pressing PgDn sends the P key, pressing and holding it sends the Esc key. I did not create it, it was written by WXFORECASTER
Script Below:
/*
AUTHOR: WXFORECASTER 10/12/10
DESCRIPTION: DESIGN OVERRIDE SUCH THAT A SINGLE KEY PRESS AND KEY HOLD
GENERATE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONALITY
*/
/*
BEGIN HOLDESCAPE CODE
SET USER DEFINED VARIABLES BELOW
*/
timeToExit := 1.6 ;time in seconds key must be pressed before sending exit (this can be a decimal e.g. 1.5)
emulateKey := "PgUp" ;the key we are pressing/emulating
pauseKey :="p" ;your MAME pause key
exitKey := "esc" ;your MAME exit key
exitScript := 0 ;0= leave script running, 1= close script when the MAME exit key is fired,
;Make it so the following code only works if MAME is the active window
;#IfWinActive ahk_class MAME
;Establish Hotkey Mapping based on the emulate key above and trigger a chunk of code below (lblPauseExit)
Hotkey, $%emulateKey%, lblPauseExit
return
lblPauseExit:
KeyWait %emulateKey%, T%timeToExit%
if ErrorLevel = 1 ;timeout was reached...exit MAME
{
send {Blind} {%exitKey% downtemp} ;Send MAME Exit
send {Blind} {%exitKey% up}
if (exitScript = 1)
ExitApp
}
else
{
send {Blind} {%pauseKey% downtemp} ;Send MAME pause/unpause
send {Blind} {%pauseKey% up}
}
return

Totally unrelated, but does Ed not look like a young Gary Oldman? lol
