Ok I did it on my DK and other arcades where I ran wires from the coin door to the 1/2 player... Tried it yesterday and couldn't make it work to save my life! So how do I wire it up to work correctly?
 
take the ground and the signal wires from the switch on the coin door and wire it to the player button?

You will need to press it twice probably, once for the coin, then once to start the game. I have this setup with a Mame cab.
 
Depending on the wire gauge, I've sometimes found that making the wire too long will cause it to not work. I did it in a Burgertime for a customer, and the 2-ft wires wouldn't work. Shortened them to 1.5 feet and they worked...
 
Alright so wire one from coin ground to 1p ground and one from coin power to 1p player.. Tried that and nothing, but guess I will try shortening the wires next.
 
Make sure you run from ground side to ground side and coin normally open side to player 2 normally open side.

It also depends on the game. Defenders don't work when you do this.
