I once connected an Atari 2600 joystick to an arcade board. All you need is any kind of simple old console or PC gamepad controller that shorts a pad to ground for each direction and button(s) and you just wire that directly to the JAMMA connector on the Sega JAMMA I/O board. There's plenty of info about how to do it and good examples of many converted controllers if you look around.
