Ok, so you're not going to want to run something like Fifa in a generic cabinet where the original game requires mastering of the controls and the original layouts of the pad are fundamental to that..
Could you play something like Harmful Park on cabinet controls? Almost certainly

Likewise, if we emulate the PS2 things like the PS2 port of Ibara have a lovely arrange mode that wasn't in the arcade release, game only needs the basic controls.
Just because a system had pads with analog sticks and shoulder buttons doesn't mean the entire software library depends on them.
