I was having this same problem with OMF 2 player mode until I changed one
of the advanced settings.  I'm not at my machine so I can't remember exactly
which switch it was, but it was a button I checked similar to the Fast Rom
emulation in the screen section.  Play around with all of those and it will
eventually work.  I found it odd though that this seemed to only happen
when I went in to 2 player mode.
