I've used Mala and MAMEWAH, both free. I eventually wound up writing my own FE in Visual Basic.
For hardware, I got a SlikStik full-sized cab, before they stopped making them, with their Quad controller panel. It's been modified a few times since, and currently sports 4 of Ultimarc's UltraStiks and a few dozen of their ClassicRGB buttons.
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:What connects the PC to the arcade stick / trackball / etc? So it's just the cabinet, PC, speakers, monitor and the mGalaxy software?
The Ultimarc sticks are USB devices. The buttons (through an Ultimarc interface) are seen by the computer as a USB keyboard. Trackballs and spinners are seen as mice.
FYI, Mala used to also sell "MaLa Hardware", a USB control board that would drive 32 LEDs. Back when I used two of those, this video of my CP (from 2012) was on Mala's website:
