Yes there was a converter for the X6800 (the Japanese PC you mentioned), a great system that had the best home versions of Capcom arcade games up until the PS1 - Saturn era.
There are also converters for the FM Towns (another less powerful system from the same time), and a whole host of other systems inc PC Engine shown here, but Im not sure if some of these are hacks or official:

@Crayfis Great info. I checked out your link and there are some awesome sticks there. I will need to put it in google translator later and read through some of the comments. Thanks!
I'd like to echo how great that balltop matches the color scheme. Fantastic look at an underappreciated stick, I'll be playing some TMNT:TF on my SNES version thanks to your video.
Dude that is one hell of a stick, I also recognise that towel from previous videos, it's not your carpet is it?>!! Great choice of ballhead color. It's really nice to see an in depth review of this stick. I think the shape is a major winner, nicer than the usual wedge IMO.
@futurematt5 Yeah, I'm thrilled to have a quality arcade stick for my Genesis/MD now. I have been a bit of a snob when it comes to gaming on that system. Now I can stop the excuses and enjoy the wealth of arcade style games on the system.
The towel is actually an Ikea area rug. :D
The shape is pretty ergonomic. However, the stick is not angled properly (IMO) in relation to the over all design. This results in some unintended up/lefts. That is the only fault I can find.
I cannot believe more people haven't commented on this. This is an EXCELLENT over-view and a very cool look at a great peripheral. I have never got the Capcom stick back then because of expense. I settled for the Sega Branded sticks (which are not bad), but I think I would have been MUCH happier with this. I'd love to get 2 of these and play some SERIOUS Robotron with them. I'm assuming that at the time the Japanese had a LOT more arcade sticks on the market.?
I love these arcade Sticks! I have 2 complete models for the Mega Drive
