I use GameEx and it is high customizable to be used with arcade controls.

+1 for GameEx.

But, there are a TON of front ends out there, and a good number of them are designed to work on a cabinet (no mouse or keyboard).  Depending on what you want, you have at least a dozen to pick from.

No experience w/ GamEx, but I've heard good thing. Any front end will require a keyboard and a mouse to setup (as there is quite a lot involved to customize it to your preferences.)

I use Hyperspin, which is awesome, no keyboard/mouse needed post setup.

If you want an idea for what a lot of people use on this forum, take a look at this poll (people voted on their favorite)

I use remote access for that!

Another option for any FE is using a control mapping utility.
