The problem is, six buttons per player is not JAMMA standard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kick_harness You must find a Supergun that explicitly supports the extra button inputs found on your CPS-1 arcade PCB, maybe it has to have a separate kick harness output next to the JAMMA connector like this one:
And this one:
at 3:35 in this video you can see the JAMMA harness with an added kick harness connector:

Same as every other control you'll find on a Supergun. Two buttons for each player are connected to each players coin and player start pins on the JAMMA harness inside the Supergun, according to the JAMMA wiring standard.
Mine had a spring loaded 3-position switch mounted on the side that would insert a coin when pulling it downwards, and start a game when pushing it upwards.

A Supergun would not normally have inputs for console gamepads. Not so strange considering the whole point of a Supergun is to play arcade games with arcade controls.
Typically the only way to "remap" controls on a Supergun is to physically rewire them.
