I am in the process of getting MythGame setup with a wireless usb 
controller. I had the same problem with Mupen64Plus. You need to use the 
blight input plugin. At first this wouldn't show up for me. I found the 
solution in this thread: 
http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?p=401110#post401110. I was missing 
libsdl-ttf2.0. Installing that fixed things up. The blight input config 
provides a gui that make it really easy to setup the mapping for you 
gamepad. Mupen64Plus was the best emulator I could find. Others will 
know more than me, I haven't even finished setting things up in MythGame.
