Summary	00479: livegal: P1 Start start a P2 game (and some inputs are misread in Test Mode)
Description	I can't play an 1-player game. After inserting 1 credit, game says "Push 1 player start button" but game doesn't start. If I insert another credit and push 2 player start, game starts with 2 players. This problem isn't new to 0.114, I think it's been there for a number of releases... When you go to test mode and press 1P Start, it's being reported as "SIDE-1 2PLAY" (i.e. 2P Start). ~~2P Start is mapped to "SIDE-1 BET", so it's quite apparent that input mapping for this driver is wrong.~~

The last one is not a bug. Looking at the Input menu (Tab -> Input (this game) ) you see that both P1 Bet and P2 Start are mapped by default to "2". If you remap one of the two to a different key, e.g. to "O", they are correctly recognized. The first two are bugs, on the other hand, and are due to a slightly different use of the mahjong controller by this game. Side1 P1 is currently reported as P1 Flip Flop (because this is its function in other nichibutsu mahjong games) and mapped to "Y". I just submit a fix to mamedev for this part of the bug.
