how to escape or pause mame without a keyboard

(1/1)

IceWish:
hey guyz i searched all over trying to find a complete control layout for the shift functions in mame and i cant find it anywhere. I know that using a jamma cabinet you can press certain key combinations to simulate "insert coin" and pause and escape and so on ...i cant find this info anywhere can anyone please help

ideft:
The shift functions are handled by keyboard encoders and are not a part of mame.  What kind of keyboard encoder are you using, is it a jamma cabinet??  You can get a "shift" effect in mame however.  Just go into the setup menu(tab) and pick a control you want to customize.  Take "pause or  p" for example.   Edit the pause input to the keys that you want to use.  For example press "1 & Ctrl" at the same time.  The pause command now will only work when player 1 start and p1 button1 are pressed at the same time.  I hope this answers your question.

If you are using j-pac for a jamma cab:

if you're not using an encoder, you can set up MAME for a COMBO KEYS (2 keys)  to do whatever you want.
