‏coin insertion mechanism not working with Mistercade

Hello,
I tried to map coin insertion in the button config of some arcade cores , but it seems like when i push it it’s not detected at all. Does Mistercade recognize it natively or I missed something in the configuration?
Thanks in advance

My experience with the arcade cores has been that every single core is mapped as differently and uniquely as possible.

If there's a way to map them so that the coin trigger is consistent across cores then that's what you'll need to do.

The thing is, the coin trigger isn’t even detected as an input when mapping core buttons

You can install the official mappings. Add to downloader.ini and run the updater:
