This PPA process installs version 4.0.2, not 5.x
Try dolphin-emu-master. It won't be 5.0 stable, it'll be recent development builds (updated bi-weekly, if I'm not wrong)...
BTW - the keyboard inputs DO work, so the emulator is working, even with version 4. And the sound stops being choppy after a while, so that is OK. But while the emulator sees both the joystick and the PS3 controller (in the drop down lists), it does not respond to any of their inputs (by lighting the appropriate buttons, etc.), unlike the keyboard/mouse option, which DOES light up the buttons, and which the emulator DOES pass to the game.

In my package manager, I do not see this - only dolphin-emu and dolphin-emu-data
Are you sure you're on ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa? I'm seeing dolphin-emu-master just fine here...
The process
Code:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:dolphin-emu/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install dolphin-emu-master
results in

Let me add this - I ran jstest-gtk and both the controller and the joystick are recognized and are sending the appropriate commands into the system. So the problem is not hardware, but that Dolphin will not accept them, even though it claims to see the controllers. There must be some interface layer that is either broken or non-existent.
4.0.2 is not supported anymore. You will need to update to a supported version (which will likely also fix your issue, since the SDL input backend was replaced with evdev).
Debian only has 4.0.2 in oldstable (currently wheezy), and only 5.0 in testing (stretch) and current unstable (sid). I suggest
building the latest development versions of Dolphin yourself; it's pretty easy to do.
Not sure what version of Ubuntu Mint is based on, but it likely doesn't have a recent version of Dolphin in its repo.
By the way, the PPA is only for Ubuntu.

I just went to that link, and it's gibberish to me
I guess I'll just wait,and continue to dual boot to windows until a premade version shows up for linux at a current level. Thanks anyway.
It's only a few commands to run. apt-get to install dependencies, git clone to get the code, then simply "cmake && make" to start the build process… anyway,
there are pre-built versions for fairly recent development builds (though non-official).
