      I've got two iBuffalo snes controllers. Both work fine on my windows PC. One works fine on my pizero, the other will not detect either in addition to or in isolation of the other controller.

      Can anyone help?

        How are you connecting the controller? With an OTG adapter? Via a hub?

        The Pi Zero is very finicky about power, and iBuffalo controllers are known to have issues with ghost inputs (suspected to be caused by power fluctuations) so it could be the controller, or some combination of how you've connected it.

          @obsidianspider I've connected them individually from power off direct to the pizero USB port using a single otg cable, one controller detects and the other doesn't
