lots of people play PC games on thier cabinets, how to do it really depends on the game, and the control interface you are using.  some games allow you to fully customize the controls, some dont.  some support only keyboard input, some support gamepads.    alot of front ends will allow you to launch PC games, either directly, or through the use of batch files, but before you worry about that, fire up the game on your cabinet and see if you can get that game to support your controls
