RetroArch is a multi-system emulator for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and *BSD. It is formerly known as SSNES. Its design and background is quite different than most other emulators as RetroArch does not implement an emulation core itself. RetroArch talks to libretro, a generic emulator core API. This means that RetroArch is core agnostic, and it does not care which emulator core is running. Currently there are libretro implementations for systems such as SNES, NES, GBA, GB/GBC, Genesis, and even arcade games (Final Burn Alpha). libretro isn't only usable for emulators.
I've configured the gamepad with retroarch-joyconfig, and the joystick seems to be operating correctly, as it registers my button presses and analog stick movements. However, when I start up a game, the gamepad doesn't do anything, and I have to control the game with the keyboard.
