...and they make brown water instead of coffee. Gawd.

It's called sabotage.

Try switching sides. Also, both of you play each side against the computer. Hardware troubleshooting, you know.

I know the feeling!!
It only happens on (2) player games and she is player2 right?

That is a HyperSpin\Hyperlaunch issue.

Your player2 side probably has p2 btn2 and p2 btn3 sending "q" and "s". (Xarcade is this way)
Pressing those buttons by themselves is ok but pressed together they kill the Hyperlaunch script.
(its not actually crashing mame but minimizes it so you have to alt-tab back to it, still kills the moment)

Near the top of the Hyperlaunch script look for:

exitscriptkey= q & s

and change those keys to anything else that is not mapped on your controller
i.e.
exitscriptkey= m & n ;\\\or whatever

That is EXACTLY your issue.  I went though the same thing w/the same basic set up (with hyperspin and such) you're using.  If I remember correctly I just removed those keys all together.
