controller not working with zsnes

[ubaka]

yo, i just got a USB Logitech Wingman Rumblepad. so far i think i've been able to configure it for linux. i use slackware 8.1 and these are the commands i used to load the modules:

modprobe usb-uhci
modprobe joydev
modprobe hid

i tried it with a racing game 'TORCS' and the controllers works. but zsnes doesn't seem to detect it.

can anyone help me here? thanx

you have to configure it to use it.

go into the input 1 menu under config

then you ahve to set up each button for the joystick before it will work

i'm not at my computer now but i've already tried configuring it as you said. one thing to note is that when i start zsnes at the command line, the message i get before it launches the GUI is:

ZSNES could not find any joysticks

Don't USB controllers work with zsnes-linux?

finally got it to work. i was missing the event device module. all i had to do was:

modprobe evdev

and ZSNES and GENS(cool genesis emulator) detected it on start-up. :cool:
also check out DGEN (another genesis emulator but lacks a GUI).
