When I play Mortal Kombat on Mame (fullscreen btw), I would like to see the move list (as an image) to show full screen when I hold a key and to disapear when I release it.

Is there a software that can do that?

maybe it could be made with vb?

Sorry, I don't know what macros are... But I can tell you that I'm using MameUI32 as an emulator.

You'd need some app in the background monitoring keys for a hotkey combination. But i suspect Mame would hog all the key strokes. And not sure how it would reset focus afterward.... cant see this one working unless there is app that plugs into Mame...like CabVol does for volume
 
Or you can open the move list, take a screenshot (print screen) save it, then right a simple vb script that will display it when you use a certain key stroke, and hides it when you let go. Only problem would be pausing the game while the screen was up.

yeah but Im not sure you can get the key strokes through to vb when using mame. and then you'd have to write the code so it gave focus back to the mame window handle after releasing the keys. If you can get the keys through then its doable!
