      So I just got a Raspberry Pi Zero W to run some classic arcade games and build a basic cabinet, but when I start up the system, moving the joystick up and down has no effect and moving it left restarts my pi. The buttons work and can config normally, just no joystick input unless it is restarting my pi.

      Pi Model or other hardware: Zero W
      Power Supply used: 5v 2.5A
      RetroPie Version Used 4.7.1 (RPI 1/0)
      Built From: Pi Imager onto Micro SD
      USB Devices connected: Dragonrise USB controller with basic arcade setup (analog joystick and 10 arcade buttons, exact one here
      Also, basic usb keyboard and mouse, though I have the same issue with them connected and disconnected.
      Controller used: See above
      Error messages received: none, just restarts.
      Verbose log (if relevant): N/A
      Guide used: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/
      File: N/A
      Emulator: None yet, just the base emulator config.
      Attachment of config files: None yet.
      How to replicate the problem: I just turn it on and try to use the joystick.

        Does this happen even outside of EmulationStation ? If you exit EmulationStation and move your joystick left, does it restart the Pi ?
