problem with escape key

[gerble1000]

i have had this problem a while but havnt had the time to mention it,

i have the escape key programmed in config to exit all emulators except the pc games,

but i needed the config file to map the keys and in the config file the escape to exit button is on false,

and the problem im getting is rarely but sometimes i boot the arcade machine up an go to pc games and when i press escape to change weopen or something the game ends and i get the sound of game over,

it just really got to me as i was right in the middle of a battle online ,ggrrrrrr

any idea's guys

Could you use an AHK script to remap your key's for your PC games? Then just launch it along with the game?

I know it would be nicer to get the built in feature working properly but it might save any hassle and pulling your hair out
