Don't bother with those octopus style adapters, they're cheap garbage. I've had 3 fail on me. Either 1 or more of the ports don't work, or they're slow at reading.
I bought one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00Y1092WM?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd and works great. Looks like they're out of stock at the moment, but Inateck also has one.

I'm using this one: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00OB2R47K
And no problem yet, but I don't have many controllers to test, I'll try my X360 arcade stick and a X1 controller today.
This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00OB2R47K/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1520858452&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=otg+usb+hub
Works fine with the usb mod and additional usb controllers.
It seems to be the same and it could not help but mine comes from there: https://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00OB2R47K and works well too. ;)
I would highly recommend one of these...

Together they let you use the cable that came with the mini, but doesn't leave extra weight hanging, since it'll sit on the table as well.
I'd also say, do NOT buy - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B016KNKRYY (The octopus cables mentioned by viral_dna)
They are rubbish! I've gone through two, one was DOA, and the second died a few days later.
Whatever you are syncing in Hakchi will show up on the USB. If you synced on the NAND first, they will look the same.
I usually use USB to do 99% of playing, BUT I setup my machine to have a slightly different set of games when USB is not plugged in. To do this I made a copy of my HakchiCE install. In the second install I removed most of the games I have for the USB version, and sync straight to the machine.
The reason I have two is for the very rare occasions I want to play with more than 2 players. I can plug in my OTG and use it to add more controllers, and because I don't have the USB dongle plugged in, it means I can play 5-player Bomberman.
So, my NAND-only install just has a series of 4/5 player games setup to play through Retroarch (they are all usually setup to play through Canoe on the USB install).
Sorry for the long explanation, but thought it might answer any secondary questions you had. CUSTOMISATION IS KING
Appreciate you taking the time to test those for me, at least if you have other people come forward to you now with the issue you'll know it's OTG related and can advise accordingly.
I'm going to look into getting a new OTG device and post my results back here, tempted to try this one:

Between the two, which one would you prefer and why?

Many thanks!
I do agree with you that it is weird.
However, it is not that the flash drive doesn't work, because I'm able to play the games (hence, reading data is not a problem, apparently). When I try to go to the home menu, that's when the problem appears. So it might be that the the flash drive is unable to write data and that this problem comes from the adapter (since I test it with two different flash drives and it has the same behaviour with each one).
I also noticed that one of the usb ports of the adapter seems to not recognize the flash drive.
I'm using the Inateck Hub which a lot o people praise. It was working ok, but again, I stopped using it for months and something must have happen in that time.
