volume control

[vuduman67]

Is there a way to control volume while you are in a Mame game. I recently discovered the Alt-Joystick combo that works while you are in GameEx which helps, but would like to change it on the fly during games. I dont have any controls on my keyboard and the speaker controls are inside my cabinet.

Any other cool combo shortcuts I should know?

I use AutoHotKey. If you know what 'keys' are pressed when you press buttons or joystick inputs then just map those to AutoHotKey SoundSet commands.

Run AutoHotKey, and right click Edit script on the autohotkey icon in the Windows tasktray. In the notepad window, put something like this:

F8::SoundSet -3

F9::SoundSet +3

Save the file and on the tasktray icon click Reload Script.

Every time you press F8, the volume decreases and increases when you press F9. You can change the keys and the +/-3 value to whatever suits.

You should really go over to the autohotkey forum to get more help on this at http://www.autohotkey.com/

Or as an alternative, put a volume control on the outside of the cab:
