If you're a contributing member, you can download a large list of PSR's (Program Summary Reports) for most AVP Game ID's in the NLG Files section.
Each Game ID has a PDF file with the information on the game requirements to be able to run that game. If it says a Progressive Controller is required, then it won't run without it.

Then you can check any game ID and easily be able to tell if you can run it or not.
For the IGT Hall of Fame game ID's, in their PSRs they all list the Progressive Controller requirement in them as in the screenshot here.
