Got a good idea on how to do it cleanly, and found PCB-mount 12-pin .156" female connectors, so I'll spin some boards and see what happens.
Finally got around to testing, and they seem to work fine.
Small central dead zone, clean 8-way operation, using only one TTL chip -- too bad the female 12-pin is so expensive...
Pass through on the 12-pin .156" to power the adapter and the optos on the joystick, with an 6-pin .100" header for gnd + the 4 directions to hook up to a normal stick.
Pins are unlabeled, since what's up/down/right/left is dependent on which way the optical stick is oriented, and I'm not sure all games do it the same way so you might need to experiment in our own cab to get it hooked up right.
