Retropie won't/can't detect usb keyboard or gamepad
-
So I'm making a NES cart build for a friend for Chrstmas. Got all the pieces and followed all the instructions. Everything boots up normally, but when Emulation Station boots up, it doesn't detect my 8bitdo SFC30 gamepad or a usb keyboard. The lights on the usb gamepad come on and blink, but the keyboard lights will light up for a split second before going dark. I've really tried everything I could think of or find at this point. I have searched the forum as well as all over Google and anything close to my problem seems to get directed back to the first time setup which doesn't cover my problem. They want me to exit Emulation Station, but I can't without the keyboard. Please help!!!

@ther3dhood Power supply inadequate? Plug USB hub into other usb port?, on a pi zero, one is power only so this is the order as you look at it...
HDMI MicroUSB MicroUSB(power only) - use the middle one. Cheap hubs don't work, search the threads on here for best options.
