Summary	03126: sbishi: When Player 2 plays alone, strange things happen.
Description	When Player 2 plays alone (that is, in a 1-player game in which the only player is Player 2), the game acts strange: In the first minigame (dice), the player's score is not shown during the game. In the second minigame (pencil), the inputs do not work. (I was using Right Ctrl, Right Shift, and Enter for the inputs.) However, the inputs start working again in the third minigame. In the scoring screen at the end of the game, the minigame scores are not shown. Compare this behavior to that in a 1-player game in which Player 1 is the only player.

I attached the control panel of this game, do you think you always have to use the left panel for 1P game?? ;)

No.04272 nightsoil Tester Apr 27, 2009, 06:58	I noticed something else funny. When I start a single-player game with the Player 3 start button and use the Player 3 controls, it seems to work OK, except that Player 3 is treated as Player 2 (called "2UP" on the screen, etc.)

(I only played about half of the 20 rounds, though.) It seems to work perfectly except for the game calling the player "Player 2" throughout! The only "graphic glitches" I noticed were in Round 5 (sneak past the guard). Let me try to clarify: the reason I don't separate this into an input problem and a graphics problem is that I do not think that it is a graphics problem. What I see is that the game seems to understand that Player 1 is Player 1, all right, but it thinks that Player 3 is Player 2 and doesn't know what the heck to do with the real Player 2 !!

No.04284 Haze Senior Tester Apr 28, 2009, 07:40	I've killed off the 'broken' player 2 inputs, and remapped the player 3 controls to player 2 for this 2 player set.
No.04326 nightsoil Tester May 6, 2009, 03:55	In sbishi, button 1 is on the left, but in gotcha, Button 1 is on the right. Is this the way it's supposed to be?
No.04327 Haze Senior Tester May 6, 2009, 09:38	depends on how they mapped to the jamma connector.
