Is there any way I can get my Neo Geo controllers connected to the cradle?
 
Only if you mod them into a USB controller, you wont be able to use them on your neogeo anymore though
But if you mean these:

They are rare, don't do it..

But if you want to, yes it's possible.. is it an analog or a digital stick?
 
I have two of this old sucker:

They're 15 pin analogues I suppose. I have no idea on how to mod them though. Engineering is not my cup. Seems like there are some 15 pin to USB converters around, but they all need windows drivers to the best of my knowledge.
Does anyone has any suggestions on a 4-button-large-stick-USB-controller to get for the cradle suitable for MAME emulated arcade games?

BTW, what's the proper wording, "does anyone has" or "does anyone have"? Google is slightly in favour of "does anyone has".
 
They are digital and work exactly the same way as arcade machine controls do. Those Neo Geo controllers just have switches for each button and direction, with a common ground (or it could be common voltage, I can't remember). There is no serial protocol to worry about with them. I guess you could rip apart a cheap USB gamepad and wire a connector up to plug your Neo Geo joystick in.

"Does anyone have" is correct.
