Replying to a super old post here, but I figured this out running MAME 0.212 on a Win 10 machine

Ensure you start MAME up with this option
-keyboardprovider dinput

Then you can use the Windows SendInput API using direct api key codes (instead of VK_*)

See the code on github account for anyone to look at if anyone is interested
