New to emulators, how do I get xbox 360 wireless controller to work with Znes?

I am trying to use my Wireless Xbox 360 controller with my PC, when using ZNES? I really need someone to break it down for me step by step, I am seriously new to this and it is very confusing! I have googled the heck out of controller mappers, like xpadder or whatever, and im seriously confused. any and all help would be appreciated.

ZSNES (did you mean?) is already compatible with Xinput, so I don't see why it's so difficult. Anyway, make sure you have Windows XP SP2 or later and DirectX 9.0c or later (XP is up to 9.0c). Also make sure you have the correct drivers installed. You can find them >> here <<.
