Need help setting up arcade on home pc

I am looking for some help setting up my home arcade system. I am using maximus arcade 2.10 and x-arcade tankstick. I would like to know how to get emulators to run in MA with the tankstick being the controls. Would like to run without using keyboard and mouse. I have MAME PLus running and that works fine. I cannot figure out how to run others though for NES, Dreamcast, etc. I have put the -ctrl X-arcade in the command line and any other commands that MA website lists, but am lost how to move forward? How do I get the games to go fullscreen? any help would be great.....I have looked in youtube and MA and X-Arcade but don't quite understand the command line and such. Thanks!
