      I am considering doing a spinner and flight stick bartop to play a few games in MAME - Tron, DOT, Gorf, Arkanoid etc. None of the games are particularly processor hungry so was thinking about using a Pi Zero to save a few pennies. I was wondering though whether you can connect multiple input devices to the Zero via a small USB hub or whether there would be any issues around doing so - anyone have an opinion on this?

        @chubsta You can connect multiple input devices through an USB hub, there's no problem with that.
