Let me see if I can translate:

I'm thinking about Restoring a MS Pacman game I have she is in an ugly cabinet not even the right one for her

Hello.  I have a Ms. Pac-man game in a conversion cabinet (I will post pictures shortly).

so i was thinking about making a Cocktail cabinet for it

Since this cab is not dedicated, and I would much rather have a cocktail game, I was wondering if it was possible to transfer the Ms. Pac-man parts that I have in my conversion into a cocktail table?

i look at some online they look nice but each one i saw had two sides for 1 player and a 2nd players the game right now is only set up for 1 player to play at a time how do you convert it so there is 2 joy sticks and buttons also.

I have researched the Ms. Pac-man cocktail tables on-line and I see that they are setup for two players (one on each side) as seen in this picture:



Will my current Ms. Pac-man pcb support two players like this or do I need a different board?

and screen flip


Also, on the cocktail table, I'm assuming that the screen flips for each player.  Will the current parts I have support this as well?

I look up the plans for one and got the pdf file but it didn't talk about 2players at all.

I have reviewed the cocktail table build plans online, but they deal only with the cabinet construction and do not go into detail on the electronics configuration.  Can someone please point me in the right direction so I could research this further?  Also, do you recommend that I build a cocktail table from these plans or would I be better off purchasing an original table? 

Thanks in advance for your help.
