      Hello, recently I bought a multi-usb hub for connecting 2 arcade controls into my rpi model a+, but when I tried to do so, I noticed that the raspberry only detects one device; already tried with two different types of usb-hub and it' still doesn't work. I'd like to know fi there's something I could do to solve it. Is this something related with the configuration of the raspberry or with the power available for feeding all the devices? Here are some pictures of the two usb hubs and the raspberry pi model a+:

        There's nothing to configure for an USB hub - most likely it's power related.

        Do the controllers work if you plug them directly into the PI (individually) ? Do you know how much power each controller needs ?
