Raspberry Pi Zero W Controller won't connect?

[DJJujuVI]

Hello, I have a Raspberry Pi Zero w, an official power plug, a micro usb splitter (or a hub), and an 8 GB SD Card with RetroPie installed on it (not sure of it's the latest, installed it about a month ago). I haven't used RetroPie until now on the Zero W and when I go into the Pi, everything works until it gets to the controller portion of it. With my Pi 3, an Xbox One Controller works perfectly. Though on the Pi Zero W, it won't connect. I'm not sure if it's the splitter or if it's the Pi. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

First, I recommend putting the latest version on it yourself so that your request for support is meaningful.

I recommend testing it again on the latest version. Have a read of this.

This is possibly an issue but we have no way of knowing what this is or where it is connected because you need to share more details about your personal setup.

I have a pi zero that more or less works with a USB hub, but wont recognise the keyboard when I connect it to the hub, I havent tried an xbox controller, but i could try it I suppose.
