There would have to be a "thunking layer" that intercepts the goofiness and translates it to normal key presses. The layer would have to have some sort of state machine design where it toggles between listening for the initial keydown, listening for the keyup, and sending the translated key to MAME. I guess it would have to also emulate holding down the sent key until the next keydown event comes in.
