How exactly do I get the keymapper to work with an SNES gamepad (via the parallel port)? When I load DOSBox (v0.65) up, it seems to detect my gamepad just fine (Using joystick LPT1: DirectPad Pro/SNESkey SNES or NES pad 1 with 2 axes and 12 buttons), and I managed to assign keys to gamepad buttons without error, but if I go into a game, the gamepad itself doesn't actually do anything.

I haven't tried running SNESKey from within DOSBox yet, I was hoping the keymapper feature would be much less of a hassle.

Edit: SNESKey won't work (Bad Thing: The SNES controller does not seem to be connected.) =/

Have you tried Joytokey?

I'm trying it right now. Zophar.net says it's for DOS, but I can't find a DOS version anywhere, just a Windows one =/

DOSBox has a built-in keymapper, why can't I just use that? Is there something I need to do to enable it? I checked the readme but it didn't say anything.

It's for windows. You can map any axis/button of the joystick to a key in windows. Then, start Dosbox and try using it.
