No, the only time you would need to do that is if you are using the optional SNAC connectors, which are only used if you want to use the original controllers/accessories. But you can use any bluetooth/USB controller in place of using the original ones if you wanted.

(Note, these are NOT USB adapters and the SNAC port is NOT a USB port even though it looks like one, using these devices in a normal USB port will not end well.... a bad idea to plug a USB device into the SNAC port as well)

But if you just for example have a wired Xbox controller plugged into a USB port of the MiSTer you can use that for every game and never have to mess with any other addons or hardware of it to switch games, just select the game/system from the menu. The FPGA will be reprogrammed to mimic the system, you don't have to physically change anything.
