check out the mame word. I have a friend with a home-built arcade style
cabinet with a machine inside running mame. I don't know much about it,
but as I understand it, to get the arcade style buttons working there is
a ps2 device that looks like a keyboard to the computer, but basically
has a bunch of slots to plug in buttons I think he bought his for not
much money. That sort of thing might work well for what you are talking
about.
best,
Cedar
