how can I setup 1 button to be displays menu control and exit mame game

[maksi]

Hi,

1. I'm building an arcade cabinet and I'd like to setup one of my buttons to have dual function. When I am in attract mode I'd like it to be displays menu and when I enter a mame game to exit the mame game. I know that by pressing start+shift buttons the game will exit, but I need to press 2 buttons to exit the game. So is there any way to configure just one button to do that?

2. Another related question (just so I don't clutter the forum with small questions): what happens say if I setup the "D" key on my keyboard to be the displays menu control, and I enter a mame game. So if I press the "D" while in the mame game? Will it turn off and go back to the game menu or will it do nothing?

thanks

1) you can config a button to exit an emulator system this way:
start AM > press TAB button > Emulators > choose your emulator system (mame) > Set 'Exit-Hotkey'

2) now if you press this button under running emulator system, mame exits and shows AM again

To set up another exit key in mame is pretty easy

1. Start the game and press TAB
2. Select Input (General)
3. Select User Interface
4. Scroll down to UI Cancel and change ESC to whatever key you want.. OR add the new key and keep ESC as well.
