my idea is to use USB gampades that have been rewrired to joysticks and buttons to work as my controls. can i do this under MAME and or MAME32. i really have know idea about either software. i did read in the MAME FAQ that usb was supported.

Yes, MAME supports USB gamepads.  You will need to enable joystick support in the MAME .ini file.  In MAME 32 you can select this in the preferences window.
