It's sorta possible by using Nucleus Co-op, if you least follow this.
Open NucleusCoop, search for and download this game handler in the 'Download Game Handlers' option.
Proceed to open NucleusCoop again, auto search for the game or manually select the game exe using the search game button, select it, choose the number of players and the screen layout you want. Click the rightwards arrow on the top right corner next to the grayed out "Play" to move to the config screen and choose the settings you potentially want. Many of these settings can be changed in game. Then press play.
Start the handler and as soon as you have done so you will need to unplug the second controller. Don't fret if you unplug the wrong one. Just plug that one back in and unplug the other one. Then when the game starts you will need to navigate to "HOST" for the first player and press to confirm to host two times.
After this, wait for the prompt window asking you to press OK to launch instance 2. Before pressing OK, reconnect the second controller. Select Join and confirm it twice. Wait for the screens to setup and click OK on the prompt window asking to install hooks. That's it. Enjoy!
