I think it would be easier to just use whatever unused key on the JPAC you choose and then remap the 'pause' key in MAME to that key.

I just wired it to the JPAC's "extra" button inputs and then remapped MAME to use it as the Pause key.

I used a diagram I found somewhere using diodes to make one button act as a shift function (looking for the one I used now)
This isn't the exact one I used, but may give you an idea on how it's done:
