With Retroarch, but I truly do not believe these people have used Retroarch often, or they're lying when they say it works flawlessly for them.
Just yesterday I booted up Retroarch to play Samurai Showdown. For some reason, my arcade stick decided to just not work on it despite me using it just the other day perfectly fine.

Fucking dogshit piece of trash program.
It can't even consistently work when you go out of your way to ensure nothing ever changes.
Meanwhile: PCSX2, which was considered a trash-tier emulator for the longest time:

>Prior to that I hadn't even used an arcade stick on the emulator at all in 3 years
>Select my already configured arcade stick button mapping profile
>it just fucking works
Meanwhile Retroarch which I use every other day because I like old SNK and Capcom and the shader options on Retroarch are great, regularly shits the bed for no discernible reason, and troubleshooting is a pain in the fucking ass because the UI is GARBAGE
