Hmmmm... did you wire the controller directly to the mobo, or did you leave the controller port on and just plug it in? If you wired it, make sure you didn't mess up anywhere and that your ground (brown) is in there nice and tight. If it still doesn't work, try wiring your ground directly to a wire running to the negative terminal to make sure it works. Also, have you tried wiring up a different controller? It may just be that.

i said i thought it was a ground issue because on my snesp mkII only one button would work at a time and the problem was that i had a + going to it instead of ground

Nope I grounded it in several ways boosted the +5v and then I even rewired it to closer spots but I know the controller worked before... I'll try some more crap...

That happened to me when i put my SGB into my SNESp only the B buttons functioned and I got no sound. I just replaced the controller and everythign worked fine, so try replacing it.
