thanks guys, since im not really familiar with the ipac, ill give a shot at the pad method..

alundra:

i want to know do i really need to connect the memory port memory to the arcade controll too..i dont understand why the guy who wrote the tutorial said the memory port need to be connected..since i never use the memory card..can i skip this step..?

The main reason for wanting the memory slot is so you can use your Xbox Live Headset when playing online.  If you don't use the Headset or Memory Cards then it isn't necessary.

alundra:

and can you explain why he didnt soldered the wires exactly to the points where it lable X, B, Y, A , UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT on the front board instead of somewhere else on the back of the controller?

It is just the way he likes to do it.  You don't have to though.  If you want to just scrape off that black material and solder to the bigger contact points then that should be fine.
