If I understand your problem correctly then all you need to do for a joystick to work correctly in mame is modify the mame.ini file.  There is an input section, a line for keyboard, mouse and joystick.  Make sure you have joystick enabled (value=1).  This will allow a joystick to work.  As far as Mamewah goes, I know in version 1.62b10 in the Mamewah.cfg file you need to do a similar thing and enable the joystick.

If you are using a keyboard type encoder then all the buttons should work in mamewah right off the bat, otherwise you need to write in the JoyCode_1_Button# in the mamewah.cfg to program Mamewah react accordingly.

Make sense?

Problem fixed: I have dowloaded mame.ini. After I put it in the mame folder and edit it. Now Joy works! But here another question: Is it possible to remove the game information screen that I see when I lunch a game? I know this is possible with mame32..what about mame command line version?
thanks
