Kale,
This one was easy, c081 needs to be added as a mirror for "BUTTONS" (c080) in sparkman's mem map.

best regards,

more info:
the game's service mode reads from c080, but in-game it reads from c081 for player2's read of "BUTTONS". I can only guess that some of the address lines aren't being used here (notably bit 0).
