No.07113 NekoEd Senior Tester Jan 23, 2011, 04:51	I was playing with it, and if you press Yellow Start (2P), any inserted credits are immediately wasted. I would imagine that even if the board has working input sections for a second player, if the cabinet doesn't actually hook them up to anything, neither should we in MAME; after all, that second player will never work correctly if present, as evidenced by the loss of credits if the phantom player two tries to start a game. This may end up being more a philosophical decision than a technical one, I think.
