my cab isn't as kid proof as I thought

Had the same problem this weekend.  Playing TMNT..  Having a 3rd player on the player 3 position (4-player panel) caused the system to jump out of MAME.  Hooked up a keyboard and CTRL-ALT-DEL to bring up list of programs, and MAME was still running, just not responding..

As near as I can figure, it was ALT-ENTER that did it (P1 Button2 & P3 Button3) although I don't think TNMT uses button 3..  But my cousing is a button masher  :)

Unfortunately, it's not my panel, so I can't test (it's now 4 hours away) but I've asked my bro to let me know what's up...

I think it stopped responding since I was using MAMEWAH rather than explorer as a shell..  jump it from full-screen to windowed mode and who knows what should happen without explorer  :)

Wish I knew of all of the little windows 'alt' shortcuts..  Don't want to remap the alt key because it's used by default in the 4 emulators I have running on the machine  :(

Oh, well...

no, theyre just extremely intuitive,
so intuitive in fact that a 4 year old can figure it out :P

commence button mash testing!!

Yup, I thought I had one of my cabs all set.  I set my four year old to playing it.  Literally, one minute later..."daddy!  It's locked up!"

Went downstairs to find somehow he'd found a key combo to pause Mame.  What he'd been doing is when he lost he'd still be holding the joystick down, or whatever, and hitting the P1 start button to start back up.  No matter how hard I tried to break him of that habit he'd still do it.

Chris:
I never had any of these problems when my cabinet ran DOS... when I wint to Windows, I had to change a bunch of keys, which is a pain on a KB hack.  I still have one button mapped to CTRL, since I had a game on the cab hardwired to use it as a fire button... I should take that out...
