      My Tomee NES To PC USB Controller Adapter randoly ceases to detect in EmulationStation. I am using a Pi Zero and am using it in conjunction with my NES Advantage. I went through and set up all my box art and so forth, but once all was said and done, the controller just randomly stops detecting, and yet it is getting power as the leds on it light up when the buttons are pressed down.

      Was working for days great before all this. I have tried taking it off the USB HUB but to no avail. Is this adapter not 100% supported?

        @xd3l what is the volts and amps of your power supply. Nes advantages can have issues. Turn the turbos all the way down and off and see if that helps it.

          Edit: It would appear to be the power pack, I could have swore I double tested that. Thank you!

          EDIT 2: Nevermind, I rebooted and I lost connectivity again. Both the standard NES pad and the Advantage do. The PSU is 5v with 3.1 Amp output.

              @xd3l Turns out that I can't use any of my USB hubs with this. If I do, the Tomee Adapter doesn't pick up, though everything else does. If I take the hub out of the equation then the NES adapter works every time without issue. This is unfortunate because I was hoping to rig up a player 2 port, thus needing a USB hub.
