Issues with using Arcade stick with Brook Wireless Fighting Board with Retropie

B39_

I recently built an arcade stick with a Brook Wireless Fighting Board in order to play various 2D fighters, and still had space in the casing, and so I placed a Raspberry Pi 4 inside of it with IO ports drilled into the case and a USB Hub going from one of the two USB 3.0 ports on the Pi to holes on the outside. All of this went well, however as I plugged my arcade stick into the USB ports on the USB Hub, regardless of if I set it to be registered as a PS3, PS4, Switch or X-Input controller, it isn't detected as a gamepad when trying to configure inputs. I know that the USB Hub isn't the problem, because I had three PS4 controllers connected to the USB Hub VIA USB and all working simultaneously, and I know that the board isn't faulty in any way because I use it on my Switch, PS4, PS3 and PC just fine, and the issue persists even after I updated Retropie to the newest version (Updated the RP4 an hour prior to making this post). I see no reason why the Fightstick shouldn't be detected, so I've come here to ask if anyone would happen to know what the issue is, have experienced this, or have a solution so that I could play 2D fighters with my Arcade stick on the raspberry pi.

Please add more info about your setup, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

Can you test your gamepad with jstest /dev/input/js0 from the command line to see if the device registers correctly ?

Exit EmulationStation, disconnect all controllers, then reconnect only the Fighting Board and run the command. You can interrupt the test with Ctrl+C then run emulationstation to get back to EmulationStation.
