I'm trying to use a Playstation Portable (PSP) as a controller in the mupen64plus emulator.
When I run the emulator, there is a message on the terminal saying that it detects a controller, but I cannot get it to work.
Here is what pops up on my terminal:

As you can see, mupen64plus does indeed detect a controller. So how can I make it work? I tried the command-line program, jstest-gtk, which usually works for mapping new controllers, but it doesn't detect the PSP. The PSP is connected to my computer via the auxiliary usb cable.
Oh and I have also tried with the PSP on and off--the result is the same--mupen64plus detects a controller but jstest-gtk does not.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated--has anyone gotten the PSP to work as a controller in mupen64plus?
Below is a sample from the InputAutoCfg.ini file, which is filled with configurations for many controllers. I cannot find one for the PSP in it; is there something I could add to this file to make the PSP work?
