I think you misunderstood me.

I'm just concerned about what PCBs I'll need to hack in order for me to play *any* game(in single player mode).

Thanks.

It isn't possible to get EVERY game in single player mode on a single panel, there are too many custom control types. Like the 4x2-way joysticks on Wizard of Wor, or the 3 DIFFERENT types of twisty sticks, and MANY MANY others.

Well, if I misunderstood you before, I sure hope I'm misunderstanding you now.  Now it sounds like you want to hack game PCBs to play every single game there is?  Like, you want to take the game board from a Scramble and hack it somehow to play 4000+ other games too?  (You can run anything on Scramble hardware.   ;D )

Really, I'm sure that's not what you mean, but that's what it sounds like.  We need clarification here.
Searcher7:
I'm going to have to make another attempt at explaining this.

Let's make believe you have every MAME game, and wanted to play any of them with the exact same response and feel of the original controls of each game.

***How many and what specific PCB hacks(from inputs and controllers) would you need to get it done?

The hacks of course have to work together in whatever combination is needed for any of the games you want to play.(Don't worry about the actual controls themselves).

Thanks.

paigeoliver:
Very few original controllers require ANY hacks. There are commercial encoders/adaptors available for essentially every arcade controller around, with a few exceptions, and there are no hacks available for the exceptions.

Exceptions include.
Arcade light guns.
All movement sensors (I don't think mame supports any of these games anyway).

But, to interface all posible controls then you will need.

AKI - Analog Kontrol Interface
SJC - Simple joystick connector (For 49-way sticks)
Druin's rotary interface
I-Pac or Keywhiz.
Opti-Pac
