  • Worthless button pusher!
I'm not sure I understand the question -- pretty much all of the games on there are alternating single stick games. Do you have it set for cocktail mode perhaps ?

..but i cant play 2 players

Are you saying inserting 2 credits and pressing player 2 start doesn't start a 2 player game? Or a 2 player game will start but the joystick and buttons don't work for player 2?

If it can start a 2 player game, just wire up the controls to BOTH the player 1 pins and player 2 pins of the jamma connector.

Double check your wiring for proper crimps and connections and also possible opens (both in the signal wire and your ground circuit). Verify the signal wire is connected to the NO terminal of the microswitch and also verify you have continuity across the switch's ground pin and NO pin when the switch is made. Also, I've come across quick disconnect terminals that need to be pinched a little to make a proper connection with the switch spade, make sure yours isn't loose.

I don't think Free Play lets you play 2 player on the 60-in-1.

mines set on freeplay, no issues with 2 Player games.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.
