Summary 07332: zigzagb, zigzagb2: Game will hang when you play a 2 player game
Description When you play a two player game, when the 2nd player has died for the first time and the 1st player takes over again, there is screen corruption. When the 1st player dies again, there is some sort of crazy screen corruption which happens and the game essentially is unplayable until reset/restarted.
Steps To Reproduce - Start either machine
- credit 2 times, start 2 player game
- Start player 1 and die
- Start player 2 and die
- observe graphical corruption
- player 1 dies, the game becomes unusable

Regression traced initially to the great galaxian rewrite which happened on 0.124u1.
At that time, game would end after 3 total deaths in a 2 player game(watchdog?).

Then, as mentioned in 02817, with 0.128u4 the games were constantly rebooting. Quite possibly, this is due to major CPU memory addressing changes, but unconfirmed.

This was fixed in 0.128u6, game plays seemingly normal as a 1 player game, but the issue shows up in a 2 player game as reported.
