Are you using a USB or something else. As suckthismeat said go for ePSXe, it is the best PSX emu out there.
I personally own this gamepad. Its identical to the Playstation gamepad so its perfect for those emulators.
It's better than using any converters for the real gamepads.

Left I think he has a PSX pad and he has some plug to attach it with to the PC. I think.
ePSXe can use any gamepad as long as it is recognized by Windows. Same goes for most emulators that support gamepads.

No if that guy is using Win98 and the controller is USB then he will probably require its drivers.

My pad is a playstation pad converted to PC with connection to the paralel port. And my OS is Win XP.
The problem with epsxe is that though I have installed the correct bios and plugins to the correct folders, the video plugin is not listed under config, so I can't make it work. Any ideas?
Thank you all in advance.

Paralel port... I think you need direct pad pro for the gamepad to work...
Not listed plugins? Have you extracted the plugins from the zip files?

I already installed the pad with PSXPAD and it is perfectly working and recognized by Windows XP. Do you think that Directpad pro (5.0?) would add something new?
And, yes I did unzip the files. For instance, under plugins folder I have:
cdrmooby2.dll
cdrXeven.dll
gpuLewGlide.dll
gpuPeteOpenGL.dll
remove.me
spuPeteDSound.dll
Under config the sound plugins are there but the video ones aren't. And concerning to bios, I'm only able to set it, if I skip the wizard mode and go directly to the Bios config. The wizard does not recognize the bios, despite the fact that I have eight different bios .bin files in the bios folder.
And what about Emurayden emulator? Do you know it? It works damn good here and comes complete with no concerning about how to configure - just put the cd and it goes automatically (and have a memory card organizer, also). The only problem is that I can't make the pad work with it.

Update your plugin pack from either this site or somewhere else like ngemu.com and ePSXe is alot greater than EmuRayden.
Could you provide some information about your hardware?

Kind of old, I know. But, I take so much care of it that it's working like a sex machine! I use to run great new games such FIFA 2004, Jedi Academy, GTA3, Sim City 4, etc. (windows games, not emulated) with no problems.

Your configuration is ok but to that extent. Lower the resolution of your GPU plugin.
And try optimizing settings to match your computer. Sound affects a lot.

also try a different rendering plugin, I found that Petes Direct X works best for my main comp, and the OpenGL plugin works best on my laptop...just a thought

it depends on your laptop and pc conf suckthismeat. Pete's plugins require more computer power and Contester is out of it.

About how much does that gamepad go for (in US dollars)?
I got it for €10 and with today's exchange rates that's $12.5

Wow. I expected it to cost at least twenty bucks.
How well does it work on other emulators? Do you find the button setup difficult to use on N64 games? If you've ever used it for other consoles, that is.
