thanks, i'll try to get one of these.  for now i just wanna play some

here are some recent failures:

	; nusb/joy /dev/usb/ep10.0 | joy 1 | games/snes -a -x 3 $game

- logitech dual action: no suitable endpoint found
- ps3: window goes black, emulator never errors or finishes launching
- rii sens retro usb: system immediately detects and configures it as
a mouse
