Then how will you find it when it's time to play. :lol
(Sorry, feel free to groan now. We knew what you meant.)

I agree with ditching 4 player, in favor of two player. If on a budget, best to simplify.

I want to be able to do the TMNT games the simpsons, the D&D game. nothing past 1995. and im not looking for doing any high end emulation like MAME. because i don't think the pi is there yet
also ive got a local artist who wants to paint the sides, so they might end up vanished instead of laminated

Unless you overclock to 900-1000 you're going to see stuttering in most of the emulators you mentioned on the Pi. If you do OC to 900-1000 you're going to shrink the life of your Pi quite a bit. If size/power consumption isn't an issue, go and find a computer being thrown away. You'll be much happier both with compatibility and performance. Last I heard there wasn't a Sega emulator available in the Pi world, so yeah.
Your best bet encoder wise, if you don't want ghosting/latency, is to either roll I-Pac or Vigo's encoders or to design/build your own board. This guy built his own encoder from scratch http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,114816.0.html see page 4/5.

I can't understand using the underpowered pi when you can find a curbside P4 that will do what you are asking of it.

I've noticed that a lot of the arcade build community is focused on re-creation of arcade experience I'm only doing this project as an experiment to see if it can be done. That's why I want to try the pi. I wonder if a controller can be built on an arduino as well any thoughts
