Reddit reviews Micro USB HUB Adaptor with Power, TUSITA 3-Port Charging OTG Host Cable Cord Adapter for Raspberry Pi 2 3 Pi Zero Android Smart Phone Tablet Samsung Galaxy HTC Sony Google LG/Linux

The setup:

1. Android phone (GS6) with RetroArch installed off the Google Play store (free). No-intro roms.
   
   
2. USB hub: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM/
   
   
3. USB controllers: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002B9XB0E/

5. Headphone splitter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000067RC4/
   
   EDIT1: these are the RetroArch 'Cores' I run with this setup: NES: Nestopia, SNES: Snes9x, Genesis: Genesis Plus GX, N64: Mupen64Plus, Arcade: MAME, Doom: PrBoom. Enjoy :)
   
   EDIT2: rooting is not required, my phone is not rooted it's stock Android.
   
   EDIT3: this setup is not limited to smartphones. It works on laptops, tablets, or Android TV boxes (e.g. Nexus Player, Mi Box, OUYA, Nvidia Shield, Amazon Fire TV, etc.)
   
   EDIT4: here's a post I've done on my RetroArch config: https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/54qf9d/finally_found_a_use_for_the_old_nexus_7/d85u1kc

I use these to USB Host off the SNES Classic:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JR5304/

This site does an okay job at explaining steps in a manner that's more quickly understood: http://snesclassicmods.com/

Works great, and I can keep the SNES Classic itself only storing its original games on it with a lot of room for saves, while the flash drive has everything else. Surprisingly, PS1 emulation works very, very well on the SNES Classic(a little input delay but very playable using Wii Classic Controller which has the same plugin). I don't think I got any N64 games running properly. The emulation for that is either garbage or I need a different core.

Inateck or the octopus one, they are adding network support in future so want more then one USB port

Correct, a powered USB Hub should work without the physical power mod.

Most people go on to mod the system with BleemSync v1.1+ firmware, which enables the rear power port as an OTG USB port after which you can use an OTG adapter to plug the flash drive and power into the rear port, giving you full use of the two front ports.

If you have some flash drives around, particularly some older USB2.0 drives, you may be able to install the BleemSync v1.1+ firmware without needing to do the power mod or needing a powered USB hub. After that all you'll need is a OTG adapter like this one or an OTG USB hub like this one.

I bought this one from Tusita. It loaded my games perfectly fine and connected to WiFi with my adaptor perfectly fine. Doesn’t feel cheap either.

A micro usb to 2+ usb adapter might work. I haven't tried it since I only use a dac and amp with my PC, but I wonder if something like this could work.

What you have in the picture is USB type C. Will not work.

I'm using this

MG Chemicals 838AR-P Total Ground Carbon Conductive Pen, 4g https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LZX06PL/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ROAlDb6DREBQK

Here’s what I used to get started, a good and reliable usb that I had no issues with, the otg you’ll need to free up the ports in front along with extra ports on the otg if you wanna add online later on possibly. The final most important thing is the conductive ink pen to perform the power limiter mod so you have no issue performing with the front ports if you wanna do multiplayer or wireless controllers. I would link guides but a bit lazy atm. A quick search on the subreddit like power limit or conductive and you’ll find the post with the video. My recommendation is bleemsync. Restalgia has a good video for a fresh install.

The adapters I mention in the video are the ones I personally use. The OTG adapter is not the best choice but it's worked for me so far. The wifi adapter has been used by a few of the members at Hakchi Resources and is verified to work.

OTG Adapter

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Wifi Adapter

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008IFXQFU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I recommend getting a USB OTG adapter also if you want to connect usb items (thumb drive, keyboard/mouse, ethernet, etc):

The one I have:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage

It also has built in bluetooth, so you can use bluetooth stuff with it (gamepads, mouse/kb). I havent tested, but apparently you can use bluetooth headphones with the nexus player. Apparently, more BT support was added in Marshmellow 6.0

Update: The USB mod still does not work.
I have done:
A clean install of Hakchi CE 3.5.2 (Debug)

A clean install of cores

No unnecessary mods even downloaded at all.

The OTG adapter is the same one patton is using in the videos on his youtube channel:
OTG: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

and the USB stick is a 64gb sandisk from the approved list online here:
USB: Sandisk64GBSDCZ33-064GYES - u/Negativitee

I have also tried another memory stick and another format (fat32) and it had no effect.

Everything is working besides the USB storage.


The best inatek OTG adapter is on it's way and will be swapped out to see if that is the culprit. That is my only idea at this point. Been thinking by this point it would be easier to install an internal sd card mod.

or you could've just copied the list here...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCBXIY8
Note: Only the USB 2.0 version is compatible with the NES/SNES Classic out of the box. You would need an adapter for the USB-C version to connect to the NESC/SNESC, and whether it actually would work is currently unknown.

Also, be aware that it uses its own power cable instead of the NES/SNES Classic's USB cable, and it is very short (roughly 12-14 inches long).Consider getting an extension USB cable or using an extension cord.

TUSITA ("octopus" style): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM
This one has been reported as working for many people, but can also reportedly break easily.

Simpler OTGs:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FY9Z9GD
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JCZ2FQQ
OTGs like these have only one port for USB. A simple choice if you only want to use USB and not wifi...or vice versa.

We do not recommend the small angled adapter featured on snesclassicmods.com and elsewhere. It looks great, but easily loses data connection at the slightest nudge.

This OTG USB Hub is said to work well with BleemSync. It will also allow you connect two additional devices.

https://www.amazon.com/TUSITA-Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM

Well depending on what version Fire you have, then this might work.

https://smile.amazon.com/TUSITA-Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=sr_1_6?keywords=usb+otg&qid=1574907194&s=amazon-devices&sr=1-6-catcorr

for me i have it https://www.amazon.com/Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry-Android/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1522053075&sr=1-1&keywords=kirin+adapter+micro+USB+OTG

I'd suggest using a USB-OTG hub with charging passthrough, like this one.

> otg cable, then usb hub

This part can be done in one product

I bought this one, I just hope it works, but I can't do it until a couple of weeks...... sometimes I hate to work, but if I do not, I cannot buy more stuff!!!!

I've tried this one on my first attempt and it simply just doesn't work with the snes mini.

Instead of that one try this:
https://www.amazon.ca/Adaptor-TUSITA-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=mp_s_a_1_17?keywords=usb+otg+cable&qid=1565822608&s=gateway&sprefix=usb+otg+&sr=8-17

This was the one I ended up purchasing and works like a charm. Supplies power, allows additonal usb storage, and has the ability to add player 3 and 4.

OTG replaces it. The kind of OTG adapter/cable/hub you get can cover all scenarios.

If you plan on playing game with more than 2 players you can get the Inateck OTG hub or the TUSITA "octopus" OTG cable.

https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adapter-Compact-Compatible-Smartphones/dp/B00OCBXIY8

https://www.amazon.com/TUSITA-Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM

If you just are going to be playing 1-2 player games and only want a minimal OTG adapter I recommend the 90° left angled OTG adapter or the standard OTG cable.

https://www.amazon.com/CHENYANG-Adapter-Galaxy-Tablet-Angled/dp/B00M7X6XNG

https://www.amazon.com/DSYJ-Micro-Samsung-Player-OTHERS/dp/B00CXAC1ZW

I got a PS4 controller working wirelessly with it. And I'm sure a USB hub would work for multiplayer.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LTHBCNM?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title You're never going to find anything as convenient as plopping down a system in a dock to interchange like a Switch. Unless someone found the ultimate charging station, USB/Bluetooth hub, all-in-one dock for the GPD XD?


I haven't found a way to charge and external control at the same time. I looked. Closest thing is the hub, but that only let's you switch between OTG and charge, not both.

• Micro USB Power Adapter and Power Switch
  
  
• Micro USB Hub
  
  
• Mini HDMI Male to HDMI Female Converter 6 inch
  
  
• Canakit controllers 2 for $15
  
  
• Raspberry PI Zero from Canakit
  
  
• NES game from a Vintagestock in the mall
  
  

this is the one i use. it has 3 usb ports so you can plug in a USB Host drive, keyboard and mouse

Another one i see recommended here is this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LTHBCNM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yeah I don't want to spend much on one. That one looks pretty good though. I bought this cable too so hopefully it works.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LTHBCNM

Not just any usb hub will work, you must buy one that will allow charging.

Sup? and these things

Here are a few options:

• 3-Port Charging OTG Host Cable Cord Adapter
  
  
• Multi-in-1 OTG Adapter Cable
  
  
• Micro USB 2.0 OTG Host 90 Degree right Angled Adapter

  Also if you want to get Netplay: TP-Link TL-WN725N
  
  It's the recommended Wifi adapter.

I had trouble finding the Inatek for a decent price, so went with this one instead and it works great:

https://www.amazon.ca/Adaptor-TUSITA-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM

I ended up gluing mine down to a piece of plastic to try and mitigate the fragile wire issue that’s known with these octopus-style adapters.

USB drive works with OTG adapter on 4K Stick - I have used mine with [this adapter](Micro Usb HUB Adaptor with Power, TUSITA 3-Port Charging OTG Host Cable Cord Adapter for TV Stick , Raspberry Pi 2 3 Pi Zero Android Smart Phone Tablet Samsung Galaxy HTC Sony Google LG / Linux https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00LTHBCNM/) for months. Either your OTG adapter is not compatible or you’re using a filesystem other than FAT32 - unfortunately, 4K Stick does not support any other filesystem.

My apologies, I'll try to explain a bit better.

I can plug my PSU into the microusb of the microusb hub and it will power the pi. At the same time, I can plug in my USB flash drive into one of the ports of the hub and it built the folder structure (and I'm assuming) transferred the roms. Is there a way to check if it transferred the roms, I'm not sure of a way to control the Pi as it doesn't detect my keyboard or my gamepad.

The Micro USB hub I'm using is this https://www.amazon.com/Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Android-Samsung/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1505478665&sr=8-3&keywords=kirin+micro+usb+hub

I have 2 of them, both of them are displaying the same issues.

Before you replied I already ordered this one https://www.amazon.com/Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Android-Samsung/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t it has a power input but someone said in the Q&A section that it can use low powered devices like flash drives, without power, but it would require power for something like a DVD drive or something. Do you think I could use like a USB keyboard or controller with it without powering it? I don't want to have to use 2 power supplies

I've used this one multiple times works great.


Micro Usb HUB Adaptor with Power, Kirin Charging OTG Host Cable Cord Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_Gh83p4xo55oyY

My team is using this. You use a phone charging cable from a phone backup battery to power the hub then plug in the Rev controller and the camera into a USB port. Finally plug it in to your robot controller phone and turn on your external battery. The phone should pick it up as WebCam1 when you scan for devices.

Thanks, That PI zero w seems pretty decent, never seen it before but it has everything we would need.

HDMI, USB, Low Price, SD Slot, Small size and etc.

The only thing I am wondering is how it is powered and whether I would need a USB power bank of some sort to use the keyboard/mouse to set it up, either way having on board WiFi is neat and costing that much is perfect, Thanks for the help.

​

Edit:

https://www.amazon.com/TUSITA-Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM

I have found this connector and it uses a Micro USB port and is said to be compatible with the PI Zero, it will allow me to use a keyboard & mouse simultaneously while also powering it.

If you're curious, they also make these: https://www.amazon.com/Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Android-Samsung/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1501693717&sr=8-4&keywords=micro+usb+OTG+hub ... this is what I use with one of my Pi Zeros, and works like a champ.

Something like this:

Cheap enough for you to try, I guess.

usb otg adapter

I’d go with this style. I found that with the right angle adapter I was putting a lot of stress on the micro USB port on the snes by taking it in and out a bunch of times. This style won’t have that problem.

https://www.amazon.com/TUSITA-Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=usb+otg+and+charge&qid=1573542787&sr=8-9

Not too sure if the fire tab supports otg and charging simultaneously. U can try and root it. I tried to do the same thing but on a galaxy tablet. but gave up on rooting and just soldered in two wires from the battery terminal to a male end usb. So that i can charge via the usb male, and connect the otg cable into the micro usb port for Carplay.

I've reading about OTG support, the main ideia is to use someting like this https://www.amazon.ca/Adaptor-TUSITA-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=sr_1_8?crid=28HCR5PIMI17O&keywords=otg+cable&qid=1555609445&s=gateway&sprefix=otg+ca%2Caps%2C217&sr=8-8 and will be possible to use the player 2 controller in the front usb port ? Sry i'm really lost in what is this OTG support .......

You need a USB OTG hub, for example this one: https://www.amazon.com/Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Android-Samsung/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1500569754&sr=8-2 (This one has significant number of negative reviews, so maybe some other model would be a better choice, this is just an example.)

You can connect any regular USB keyboard and mouse to it. I have a tablet with, I think, same CPU as Insignia, and this combination works perfectly.

found this; https://superuser.com/questions/1124237/windows-tablet-otg-simultaneously-charge/1124354#1124354 -- might work on some devices.. otherwise maybe you could just break it open and attach your own power wires.. or possibly to the battery if it has a removable one.

edit: https://www.amazon.com/Adaptor-Charging-Adapter-Raspberry-Android/dp/B00LTHBCNM/ this device claims to do it for some models.

There's a bunch, this is one form.

As mentioned in other replies, Kiwix, copies of software installs that you need, windows iso image.

Choose some or download relevant for you docs here: http://www.pssurvival.com/

Use https://unetbootin.github.io/ to make it standalone bootable linux (I recommend Lubuntu for performance, standard and completeness); keep linux iso optionally as well.

No entiendo muy bien lo que querís pero me recuerda a cuando me compré este adaptador en Amazon.

While its a nice project, there's a few things that stuck to mind.

Only one USB port. I'm not sure how hard it'd be to stick a USB Hub in there though, since there isn't that much space. One of these can also be used to both provide power and give 3 more ports for controllers. With some work maybe the ports could stick out less as well.

Secondly, you used Super Metroid D: Although unlike the NES library its harder to find a worthless piece of crap game, but there should be some empty shells available online too.
