Hello there. I apologize for not responding sooner, as I have been very busy at work for the past few days and I have something like 600 mails in my inbox, waiting for a response.
The problem you are seeing is not because of your USB gamepad, but rather because you do not have the SNES gamepad interface circuitry attached. This causes there to be two "phantom" gamepads that BES sees as having every button pressed at once. This selects the first game on the GUI and then triggers the pause combo once in-game. There is a simple hardware workaround for this issue: pull pins P9.12 and P9.14 high (3.3v). You can do this by connecting P9.12 to P9.4 and P9.14 to P9.3, as both P9.3 and P9.4 supply 3.3v.
