What cordless joypads is everyone using ? Just curious. Couldn't get either xbox 360 or PS3 pads to work on Zsnes.

Although I still have a long way to go before getting things working well, I was able to get xbox 360 controllers working in Zsnes (unfortunately, the controllers are still active in xbmc in the background, though).

Have you tried running zsnes without the -m (no gui) argument? If you do that, then you can press Esc while in the emulator, and it will bring up a menu. You can set up the input devices, then click "Set buttons", and it will allow you to go through the whole input setup process by clicking on the buttons as it prompts you for each one. Afterward, you can run it with the -m argument again.

Also, see the post smithr99 referenced and note that 6b has been recently changed. Previously, the controller assignments might get a little mixed up if you had multiple controllers, which directly affected zsnes.
