Irrelevant criticism like this does not motivate volunteers to fix your

it is easy.
If you put one gamepad microsoft you get until js4
if you put two, you get till js8
dgen doesnt like that at all
zsnes either
one gamepad = one joystick shall be for being seen for linux
this bug is present since over 6 months

You mean it doesn't appear in lsusb? If so, then the hardware is
faulty.
oh I pasted the one gamepad info. to let you know the id of the device.
If i plug those 2, dmesg, and linux see them but affect wrong their input and so on for zsnes

Why not, if it is faulty?
no no those 2 gamepad work under windows XP. It is pitty that linux is not capable to see gamepads well. :( Lot of gamers still under linux.
