"Official" list for PC Games On Cab
DashRendar:
Has anyone tried Tron 2.0 on a cab?
I believe that game has gamepad support.
Thenasty:
For those who are running thier cab in pure DOS (None of the DOS version of any MAME supports Dragon's Lair), the DOS CD Version of DLair is CAB friendly.
As long as you have you 1st button configured to ENTER or Enter_pad, you can play teh game flawlessly. This version however has some scene removed (Burning Rope, Circle Platform falling down). All in all, it fun and easy (no coin needed). The game continues and you start from a certain point when you reached it.
Anyone else have this in thier cab ? How about Space Ace the CD-ROM DOS version ?
thennomeking:
I searched through the topic and could not find anyone who mentioned these, but if for some reason I just missed it I apologize for posting it again.
I have a few games to add:
Star Control 2 – or its open source port the Ur-Quan Masters. You will need one button mapped to enter, I just map player 1. I dont suggest playing the story mode, just Super Melee - it can be as intense as a good game of Warlords.
- Joystick and two action buttons - two player

Braid – though I am sure most of yall know this one. It was released on the PC but sadly has hard mapped keys. It is still playable but may be cause more frustration than it is worth.
- Joystick and three action buttons

Spelunky – Think of it as a faster and friendly version of Spleunker.
- Joystick and four action buttons (six if you want to be fancy)

VVVVVV - And yes that is the name. It is a quirky gravity platformer that you really just have to try.
- Joystick and one action button
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVVVVV
Robotopia – Ok so this one is not known at all, I only know it because I met one of the programmers at a convention, but the game is a decent Megaman like platformer. It just has a lot of button needs and you need to use a keyboard on first boot.
- Joystick and seven action buttons

Namco are selling finally selling some new exclusive arcade titles such as Star Trigon. Also available are newer versions of Dig Dug and Pac-Man which look very nice for a horizontal setup. A rehash of Burgertime is available, too, but...uh...I think I would have to try it to say anything nice about it. Some other titles such as Quantz look good for a cabinet also. My brief apologies if this store has already been mentioned: I am too excited ATM to read through the whole thread. I will try to remember to post again if these are difficult/impossible to configure for cabinet use, once I have tried any of them.
Edit: eh, sorry! I tried some of Namco's pc downloads. They are not cab friendly unless you have a trackball and mouse buttons or mouse emulation buttons. The Burgertime Deluxe is very ...unique. I have yet to try Quantz and may not. The Dig Dug is alright. The Pac-man is really for people who do not have cabs, it seems, because the sound has a lot of reverberation and the graphics have a sort of built-in bezel reflection. The previous PC releases are better modern versions the PAC games. I have not played the arcade PCB of Star Trigon, and as this PC version may be the closest I get for a while unless someone sells it on eBay sometime; I think I will download the full version of this one.
