I just switched all my games to run on tokens and took my Donkey Kong 2 off freeplay. It now doesn't switch games by holding down 1 player and 2 player. To switch games I have to power down and boot to the other game. Works again if I go back to freeplay. Anyone else ran into this problem?

It's made like that by design. They did that so that if you want to set up a dedicated Donkey Kong 2 game in public, then people will be prevented from swapping games.

There is a program to allow you to switch games while in coin-op mode. You have to get the rom burned. I have the file for the rom but I have not yet had it burned or installed. Let me know if you're interested and I can forward you the file.

It doesn't switch when not in freeplay using the stock ROMs.

I hacked the ROMs to allow switching in coin-play for a user here several years ago.
