Summary	05601: lbgrande: Cannot start a 2-Player Game
Description	It's impossible to start a 2-Player Game. After inserting two coins the game only states "Press 1P Start". Hitting the 2P start does nothing. Several sources state that Libero Grande is a 2-Player Simultaneous Game.
Steps To Reproduce	1. Run game 2. Insert 2 coins 3. Hit 2P Start Nothing Happens
Additional Information	When testing the response of keys in Service Mode, Player-2 Start responds. I haven't tested in a non-UI build, but I did test it in MAMEUI64 .153 & MAMEUI64 .145u7

Many systems have a standard input scheme which is shared between games even if one games might use them or not but usually mirror what is available in test mode. This case is very clear, the game as set up only allows one player since there is no networked second instance running as the other side as you see the JVS Cabinet Options in Service Mode is greyed out by software and not selectable. Not a Bug.
