Hey Scott. I have been away for the holidays and won't be back to my office with my equipment until the start of next week. You have everything set up correctly, it seems. The games.cfg looks OK, in any case. The problem is that the button numbers for the start and select are hardcoded in the front-end GUI. I have a better button mapping scheme on my dev list for v0.5 of BeagleSNES, but I can't work on it and get another release out until I am able to get back to my equipment. The short answer is that you will require a code change and recompile to get it working for your particular controller.
I have a big laundry list of things that I have been working on that I want to get out for v0.5, and a few of the items have been delaying me in getting the release out. I may just have to bite the bullet and expedite the more urgent items because a large number of people have received new BBBs for the holidays and have been filling my inbox with all sorts of issues regarding gamepads and button mappings. Good work on getting everything working as well as you have so far. I should write a book on how to develop the BBB into a standalone appliance based on all of the feedback and reports that I have received from everyone over the last six months...
