No Gamepad Detected

What can I do to fix it? I do have a Lithium Polymer 3.7v 1200 mAh battery with a red and black wire. Could I use that as the power source and have it work?

Power Requirements here
Peripherals add to the current draw. Phone chargers are not really regulated well in most cases. Some are ok but its the luck of the draw.

My charger outputs 5V 2.4 A to the Pi. Also, not sure if this is normal, but when I turn the Pi on when I plug it in, a large box pops up like a multicolored square fills the monitor, then it disappears and boots up with a lot of text, like a CMD. My 360 controller also just has a solod green light on all 4 player slots, and wont blink or change to just 1 slot... My ps4 controller dosn't show any light and no keyboard works. Anything other options? I tried with my PC and a Power Bank too, and those didn't make a difference

I mean I connected the USB to my PC's USB port to power it

@snickers1863 you need a proper power supply regulated at 5V with a decent current output at 2.5 A to ensure that you have the capacity to add external componenets. You need proper usb cables. Why do you think a 3.7V power supply could work? A pi needs 5V - see the link I posted. Connecting to a PC USB again is no good. You will get 0.5A from a USB 2 and about 0.9A from a USB 3. You need to post more information about what you have actually set up because from the above - retropie is not an emulator, also be sure about the version and that you have correct one.

Ok then, well I just found a 5V 3.1 A output power supply, which is more then enough power that I need, and everythign turns on again, BUT still no gamepad detected, no keyboard or 360 controller connected... I think my pi just doesn't wanna work, or the image, idk. is it because I'm using an 8 GB Micro SD card?

Also, I have no money for a $10 official Raspberry Pi power supply till next month...
-
@snickers1863 you need to post more information about your setup. How did you write the image? etc.

Nevermind. I figured it out already. I had to SSH into it and write some commands to install the PS4 and 360 controllers manually. Works great now
