I see you haven't done even a basic amount of research on the subject.
Most USB joysticks, including the MS Sidewinder, work under the joystick
driver that's part of input core support. Here's a link with some
distro-neutral info on the subject:
http://www.linux-usb.org/USB-guide/x194.html
Next time please use google or the list archives for basic questions
before posting, or at least communicate what you've attempted and what
errors you're getting.

Sorry... well you're right, i went to that page and the joystick is
working fine when i test cat /dev/input/js0...(i even had the kernel
modules already installed...)
The thing is, the snes emulator is saying there are no joysticks
available... I guess it's only about this particular program right...
Thanks
