Controller problem in ePSXe on Linux

[Shonumi]

I have used ePSXe on Linux with a USB joypad. I believe I used an older version of ePSXe, and even then the only way I could get it to work was by using PCSXR's input plugin or something to that effect (copy + paste a few files). This was all years ago, so I don't exactly remember specifics. Anyway, it was a complete hassle, and one of many reasons I abandoned it altogether in favor of PCSXR and Mednafen. I don't know if the latest ePSXe has changed so that the input can no longer accept different plugins, but that's how I recall getting the stuff to work for me.
