Help with X-arcade controller...
Grasshopper:
Have you tried emailing the UK distributor? I emailed them some questions a few months ago and their response was very quick. They may even be able to sell you a cable.
Also have you tried opening up the X-Arcade. If you're lucky the pins may be labelled on the circuit board.
The important thing is to connect the +5V and Ground pins correctly. You probably won't do any damage if you get the data and clock lines the wrong way round.

Sorry to tell you this, but three of the lines go directly to pins on the microcontroller. Without knowing what kind of microcontroller that is or the code used inside of it, there is absolutely no way to tell what goes where by looking at it.
Have you tried posting on a newsgroup? You can't be the only person to have bought one of these.

You're not gonna try E-mailing Ciro or Roc or KC (see my previous post). . .
Three E-mails vs. the cost of an I-PAC and re-wiring the whole control panel . . .
