Victory! ZSnes is still totally borked, when it comes to what keys it
thinks is being pressed when using directfb with SDL, but I am just
guessing its zsnes' own fault. However, I got the joystick working, by
downgrading to directfb 0.9.20.

During the whole "try to get zsnes working" (before I had the zsnes
patch) I upgraded to directfb 0.9.22 to see if it helped. A few days
ago, when I compiled a new version of mplayer, the joystick input
stopped working. It seems 0.9.22 don't want to listen to my
joystick. Found this in the changelog:

 Joystick Input

 * Do not dispatch events if unknown or JS_EVENT_INIT are
   received. Fixes crash upon initialization under some conditions.

My joystick, a playstation controller, connected to an EMS Dualshooter
usb converter, is probably sending something like that.

 (!!!)  *** ONCE [Joystick sends JS_EVENT_INIT events, make sure it has been calibrated using 'jscal -c'] *** [joystick.c:89 in joystick_handle_event()]

I remember I did run jscal -c once just to see if it helped (as it was
crashing without the patch), but it didn't.
