      Hi @ all,

      I tried different USB hubs to get more controllers working on my retropie, but unfortunately only the recently configured controller works.
      What am I doing wrong? I tried different USB hubs, but it does not seem to work.

      best wishes.

            thanks! how do I find out which version of the pi zero I have?

            unfortunately that piece is more expensive than the pi zero itself. :(

              @naddel81 look at your pi it should have what version it is In White lettering.

              I think the part is worth it, considering its a hub and wifi built in

                ok. there is no cheaper way to get a few more USB devices onto the zero? I do not know why the first controller connected to the hub works, but the others don't. have I misconfigured retropie?!
