dema:
I was going to go this route for a while before I decided not to try accomplishing everything with one arcade cabinet.

The best way to do this in my opinion would be to wire the controls from the cp using either wire from a db25 or db37 cable, or else by wiring to a db25 or 37 housing, and then running that cable into the output side of a switch. You then run one of the db cables on the input side to the iPAC controls and the other db cable to the hacked gamepad. You can mount the knob on the switch to your cabinet so every time you want to play console games you switch to the one setting and every time you want to play MAME games you switch to the alternate settings.

There are a ton of threads on this in early to mid 2004 on this which will be able to give you a more thorough explanation as to how to accomplish this.
