These are the instruction I used to get Wing War for Sega Arcade working on MAME.

What you need:
  1. MAME ver. 0.136. You have to use MAME ver 0.136 and not the latest version.... 
  2. Wing War Rom 
  3. Joystick 

Steps:
  1. First download MAME ver. 0.136. http://www.mamedev.org/oldrel.html
    • I grabbed "mame0136b.exe" under Binary (Windows) 
  2. Run the "mame0136b.exe" and extracted the program to a folder on your desktop 
    • I placed it in a folder called "mame0136b" 
  3. Download Wing War Rom. It should be a 12.7MB zip file 
    • I am not going to put a link here. You can google it. 
    • Place the newly download rom zip file into mame0136b\roms folder on your desktop 
  4. Plug in your joystick and wait for the drivers to install properly. 
  5. Go into the root direct of mame0136b and run mame.exe 
  6. Once you selected the game and the rom starts, hit TAB and select "Input (this game)".
    • I mapped the following:
    • 1 Player Start - I mapped it to 1 on my keyboard
    • Coin 1 - I mapped it to 5 on my keyboard
    • P1 Button 1 - View 1
    • P1 Button 2 - Outside rear view (I use this one so I mapped it to button 4 on my joystick)
    • P1 Button 3 - View 3
    • P1 Button 4 - View 4
    • P1 Button 5 - Joystick Trigger(Button 1) to fire guns
    • P1 Button 6 - Joystick Button 2 to fire missiles
    • P1 Button 7 - Joystick Button 3 to user smoke and avoid enemy missiles
    • AD Stick X Analog - Joystick X axis (left and right)
    • AD Stick Y Analog - Joystick Y axis (up and down)
    • P1 Paddle Analog - Joystick Z axis + (Throttle control)
    • Third go back to the previous menu and select "Analog controllers". I made the following change:
    • AD Stick X Digital Speed - 4
    • AD Stick X AutoCenter Speed - 0
    • AD Stick X Reverse - On
    • AD Stick X Sensitivity - 100
    • AD Stick Y Digital Speed - 4
    • AD Stick Y AutoCenter Speed - 0
    • AD Stick Y Reverse - Off
    • AD Stick Y Sensitivity - 100
    • P1 Pedal 1 Digital Speed - 16
    • P1 Pedal 1 AutoCenter Speed - 0
    • P1 Pedal 1 Reverse - Off
    • P1 Pedal 1 Sensitivity - 100
  7. After that return to the game. 
  8. Insert 2 coins(press 5 twice) and press player 1 start(press 1).
  9. Off you go and Enjoy the game,
