First thing to do then would be to physically trace the wiring from the JAMMA connector and see if the wiring is going to the appropriate control. (buttons, joystick, etc)

Sounds like they may just be switched around up at the controls.
Since you said it seemed to do it with the other game as well as this one.

bizzaree

i dropped the control panel down and there was a connector that was joining the 2 sets of controls so i uncoupled and its fine now??
wtf was that connector for?

cheers

Maybe someone did that so that the buttons would be ambidextrious (probably speeled wrong).
So that you could use either set of buttons in a one player game or something.
Defineately odd if there are still both stick s in it though... 

So does player two work like it should now?
Or will you have to wire that back in properly?

helllllo
player 2 works like player 2 now tested on a 1 slot set up screen

but just a bit of useless info the joysticks worked independantly before it was just the buttons that were the same the connector in question looks like factory fitted so god knows what its there for....
