An ipac won't work - it will not interface with analog controls. Check this out:

For a yoke the cheapest way to hook up is USB using a dualstrike gamepad hack. Do a google search for dualstrike star wars yoke. Oscar had a hack page, and I seem to remember one other. I did one about a year ago, bought the gamepad off of ebay for $10 shipped. On your cabinet I would wire the dualstrike into a molex connector that your yoke could plug into. Then you just unplug and re-plug back into the factory harness when you go back to dedicated.

You just use a ipac or similar keyboard emu for the rest of the hookups. Remember that if you go multi game, you will need some extra buttons to control a frontend. You'll need a non-intrusive way to add those as well.

Edit: added linkage to !up's dual strike hack page

Yeah, the dual strike hack is a cheaper way to go. Since you are hacking it anyways, no need for another interface - there are a bunch of fire buttons on it and you could just use them for your start, coin, fire, etc.

You can still pick them up on ebay for cheap: I recently got one for $5.

Good luck!
