Original Controller use in ubuntu 9.10

[duramaxx2003]

hey guys I am wanting to use original snes, nes, and n64 controller. I have ubuntu 9.10 on my 52" DLP :D. I am using snes9.x for snes. I have not gotten my emulators yet for the other two. I wanting to know what hardware works in ubuntu 9.10 wo/ a lot of hassle(if its possible) What emulators you guys are using to play these games.

NES - Nestopia or GFCEU if you can't get nestopia working.
SNES - BSNES, if system can't handle BSNES use either snes9x or zsnes either one is good.
N64 - Mupen64plus.

I use joypads as I haven't found any reliable source for good quality windows/linux supported adapters.

what is the joypads? like the cheap pads u can buy at walmart? I heard that jscalibrator doesn't work in ubuntu 9.10. what program do u use to get the, to work? how about wiimotes? anybody succesfully run them? I have a wii so wondering if that is a viable option.

I prefer Logitech Dual Action's, but others here have complained about them so YMMV. Really, any that uses a standard USB HID driver should work, and I've never used any sort of program to calibrate or configure my joypads, in windows or linux (and yes jscalibrator has been known to mess up already working joypads). I really don't see the need :/

For Nintendo 64 I use Project 64.
For SNES I use SNES9X.
For Not sure about NES, but I have JNES in my emulators folder.

Anybody had any luck with the wiimote/classic controller through bluetooth? I have a wiimote and can get a bluetooth adapter for cheap? Thanks. Again for all the help.
