I have the same issue.  I gave up on zsnes and switched to snes9x it
detects the gamepads correctly everytime, Although I still havent
figured out how to start it in full screen mode yet.

What I mean by that is, when you run zsnes with a joystick plugged in it spits out a line that says how many axis, buttons, hats, and balls it has.  I can see the zsnes output when I run it from mythfrontend in the mythfrontend log file.  When I run zSNES from a command prompt with my Rumblepad plugged in it gives me this:

>   Notice the weirdness?  It totally changed all the device controls!  When I try to set up my rumblepad from a command prompt, and then use it in mythgame it doesn't work correctly.  I think it's due to this but I don't know how to fix it.  I used all the same switches in my command prompt run so it should be similar.  I thought maybe it was joystick navigation in myth conflicting with mythgame so I tried recompiling with the --disable-joystick-menu but it didn't help.  Could mythfrontend/mythgame be affecting how the joystick is detected in zSNES??
