This has already been done. There is some tutorials about it on site and a thread I will link to. I have done this mod on a few duke controllers and a third party mad catz. I have connected A2600, nes, snes, sega 6 button, sega 3 button. All work fine. The last 2 duke's I built I mapped every button to a 25 pin connector in a radio shack project box. I built these for 1 of my arcade machines. The other I use a time master converter which only lets me program 9 buttons outside the d-pad with no analog controls.

Another easy way to do it cord wise is use sega game controller cords for each console controller. You wont be able to run snes controller (to many buttons) or the sega 6 button. But you can run all the ones that have d-pad, start,select, and 2 fire buttons. Or a combination of this many connections. Each button needs its own wire and you have to have a ground only one ground. The sega controllers have 9 wires and its connection is a  9 pin serial connector. You can buy the female end from radio shack and mount it in the controllers memory slot. Any controller with more buttons would need a vga cable or something. A vga has 14 or 15 wires.Snes would take 13 wires to do the sega 6 button the same. The problem is finding this many wires in one casing and the cord still be flexible enough to hold and play comfortly.
