Okay, so I got around to testing this and turning this DIP switch on didn't help the issue.
I recorded a short video explaining and showing this issue. Hopefully there's an easy solution. Otherwise, this is going to continue to be a major frustration.

Quick note in regards to the video. SSF2T: Grand Master Challenge did work with my coin switch/credit button originally by default. But it no longer works because I went through the button remap and when I got to the "coin" mapping, it wouldn't allow me to use the coin switch.
Just wanted to follow up on this.
I was able to figure out what's going on with this. I realized that I had tied my credit button to the coin 2 switch. When I realized that, I was able to remap the P1 coin to the coin 1 switch by triggering it manually (with the coin door open.) If I use the P2 controls and do a remap, the credit button/coin2 switch works just fine to map to. It's odd to me that the Mister doesn't detect/allow the coin2 switch as a mappable button for P1 coin. I guess it lumps the coin1 switch as part of the player 1 controls and vice versa with player 2 and coin2? In any event, now that I know this, it's a non-issue. The easiest solution seems to be just remapping the P2 controls so that the coin is mapped to my credit button/coin2 switch. That way there's no need to open the coin door. Of course, this only applies to a game that gets remapped controls (i.e. someone wanting to use their own fightstick.)
One last odd thing. I figured the obvious solution would be to enable the Coin1=Coin2 dip switch, but that didn't seem to do anything. I tried rebooting as well, but still nothing. Strange. Oh well, I've got a simple solution so I'm happy.
