Description
this problem has been around a while,for some reason you can use select as the hotkey in batocera and retropie but it's a problem with standalone retroarch,arcade emulators don't read it...it was fixed a while back when someone put in a time delay option for the hotkey...but that has been removed

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in standalone RetroArch with FBNeo, FBA, or MAME, using Select as the hotkey input and attempting to insert a coin. Compare this with the reported behavior in Batocera and RetroPie, and investigate the removed hotkey time-delay behavior. Done means Select works as both the configured hotkey and coin input in the affected arcade emulators.
