Yes, rename default.ini to mame.cfg. You should be able to use a .cfg file supplied with MAME for reference (for example hotrodse.cfg) - I think they are about to stop destributing these with MAME tho.
For the most part, you should use '<system name="default">'...but you can change 'default' for a driver or romname for more specific mappings.

okay i did everything you said, but now my games wont start. this happened before....and only happens when i change the ctrlr value in the mame.ini to "mame". i try to start a game in mamewah and the screen goes black for like 2 seconds, and then comes back to mamewah. its like its trying to load it, but then gets caught up or something.
just in case i put the mame.cfg file in the wrong place, i put it both in the ...\mame\ctrlr\mame folder AND in the ...\mame\ctrlr folder. what else am i needing?

Are you sure you're not confusing MAME's ctrlr files and MAMEWAH's ctrlr files? They're two separate entities and belong in two separate places.

yeah, ive got mamewah's ctrlr files in it's own folder and stuff and havent touched it. im editing the mame ctrlr file...im sure of it.

Clear out your cfg folder. I had an issue where it would have an error parsing (not sure why but it went away when I switched to gameex, nothin against mamewah but i liked a couple of the gameex skins). And yes you should get the black screen or at least it did for me.
