A few possibilities on the controls and coins not functioning as expected.
- Make sure you've copied all of the mapping files from the MiSTercade GitHub to the corresponding folder on your SD card. They are located at config->inputs.
- When a core first loads, you have to tap a control button on Player 1 first so that MiSTer sees that side as a "controller" before any other signals will work. This is just how MiSTer works - the first controller with a button pressed is assigned Player 1, the second controller with a button pressed is assigned Player 2, etc.
- If the controls still don't function as expected, you may have to rebind the controls for that core manually. Pull up the MiSTer Menu, go right one screen, and choose "Define <CORE NAME> Buttons". When prompted for the Coin input, insert a coin into your cab.
For Ghosts N Goblins, you'll need to go into the menu for the game options and set the Flip option.
Ikari and Contra were both designed for a vertical monitor. You'll have to either rotate the monitor on your cabinet or get used to playing them sideways. The MiSTer cannot rotate and scale a vertical game to display on a horizontal monitor at this time.
