Hey guys,
I have cheap Defender game pad, but it works nicely in every native linux application I have tried.

Problems starts when I try to use it with wine, if I do that, every button except up, down and right directions work even left direction works!

Please, share some of your knowledge.

IIRC wine passes I/O straight to the system. Can you run it on your box without wine?

As I said previously,
yes!

I can take, for example, one application zsnes and run it natively in linux using this particular game pad and it works brilliantly, but if I try to use game pad in zsnes windows port running through wine it does not work correctly!

OK, I guess I am marking this thread as solved, because, I got controller working for zsnes(just experiment, because of course I can use native app), the bad thing is that these settings does not work for other apps, it means(I hope so ) that I have to configure joystick for every application separately , I have to check out for some unification app.

What I did was
1. run regedit
2. Add new Key to: HKCU->Software->Wine called DirectInput, add to it new string value called "NameOfJoystic" with value "X,Y,Rz,Slider1,Slider2" where name of Joystic you get by running WINEDEBUG=+dinput wine zsnesw.exe 2>&1 | grep joydev_enum_device name is just the part in brackets!

in my case output was trace:dinput:joydev_enum_deviceA Enumerating the linux Joystick device: /dev/input/js0 (USB Gamepad )

So my DirectInput key string value with name USB Gamepad has value X,Y,Rz,Slider1,Slider2
