This works for me (you will need to change the button name to match yours):

==========================================
## MythGame exit
begin
prog = irexec
button = RIGHTMOUSE
repeat = 4
config = /sbin/killgame.sh
end

root at mythbed:~# cat /sbin/killgame.sh
#!/bin/bash
killall -9 xe

==========================================

Now, I only use xe for playing games, but you could also add the line
relevant for your emulator, such as:

killall -9 znes
