Description
This seems to be same issue as https://github.com/libretro/imame4all-libretro/issues/9
- When P1's 'insert coin' button is the same as 'hotkey', it will not work, but only in some games. If you use P2's 'insert coin', or bind it to another key (or bind the hotkey), it works.
Eg, games that have this issue:
'88 Games
Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting
Games that don't:
Street Fighter III: 3rd strike
Final Fight

Research direction
Start by reproducing the input behavior in the listed affected and unaffected games, then compare the coin and hotkey handling paths. Done means P1's insert-coin control works when it shares the hotkey, including for '88 Games and Street Fighter 2: Hyper Fighting, without breaking P2 or unaffected games.
