How to use a USB controller

[Callaghan41]

I have tried time and time again to use my two usb snes controllers with the emulator, and even though they are set to #1 and #2 and register button presses when configuring, nothing happens when the buttons are pressed while playing. Can someone give me a step by step tutorial?

You need to use something that is plug and play. I personally just use a 360 controller. Snes9x finds it automatically and that is it.
