Any adapter which had an issue(s) was tested on at least two Pi 3's. Everything is tested in pairs for the most part. Every controller is tested as working on the actual console itself. I'm also using original console controllers - NO aftermarket/off-brand/generic controllers. One thing to note is I'm talking about USA NTSC consoles here.your model #'s and such may vary in other countries. Console controllers usually go for $5-7 at local fleamarkets by me and are very commonplace.

This is why I always recommend a console controller + USB adapter since there's so many horrible quality USB reproductions out there. 90% of the USB controllers modeled to look like these classic controllers are complete garbage. Many are going on 30+ years old and still work perfectly (battlescars and all). I think this is a great thing to have as the original console controllers are mostly absolutely EXCELLENT quality. Many were hit and miss so I thought I'd make a list with my experiences, and urge others to chime in about other systems so we can get a database going on what works, what doesn't, and common problems.

I've literally bought 12+ USB adapters so I can use my original console controllers on my Raspberry Pi 3 running RetroPie.
