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
