The Nintendo Playchoice10 games have a bunch of unique controls. When you load one up, go into "controls (general)" and you'll find in the list two buttons... "SELECT" and "START." These controls are separate from the usual insert coin and start, or the game specific "Channel Select."
See, in the old school NES console, Player 1 controls everything, and starts up a game. Say it's Contra, player one hits "select" and chooses the 2 player game and then hits start. THEN player 1 and 2 are onscreen together.
But I noticed that two people can load up a PC10 game and the "select" key doesn't do anything.
I checked the "this game" config and it turns out it's default mapped to "2" key. I thought "oh, it's because it thinks it's 2 player start button." But even changing it to something else, I can't make it work.
So most Playchoice 10 games won't work in 2 player mode in MameHub because of this.
So Player 1 should be able to press "select" on their controller in these arcade games, like the original NES.
I don't think these are necessary in the nintendo VS. games, but I haven't really tested them to find out.
Note: This doesn't seem to affect NSS (Nintendo Super System aka arcade SNES), or MegaTech (Sega Genesis), as they don't config controls that way (the "this game" controls have the select type buttons, etc).
