Hi Matt Ownby,
When I was doing some Testing on the Dragon's Lair Rev A Roms while using DAPHNE, I ran into a Strange Problem. With the Option of 2 Coins per Play set, when a Player put in the First Coin during the Demo, the Demo Stops and goes to the Coin per Dirk Screen as it should. But when a Player put in the Second Coin, the Scene stays still Frozen as it should be, but you can hear the Audio playing from the Demo, in the background. While this is happening, a Player can still just press the Start Button and everything plays just fine. Still very Strange to say the lease. Maybe a DAPHNE Bug of some sort.
Here are a couple You Tube Video Clip Links of this Problem happening:

Here is an Example of one of my DAPHNE Logs when this strange Problem happened:
