Game controller disconnects

I can't say if this is an issue with my controller or with bmc64, but in many games, the power light turns off or flashes and turns off after a game starts. It takes a power cycle to bring the controller back. I have played some games successfully with no issues, but the controller shuts off with most of them after starting (e.g., The Great Giana Sisters and Gyruss). I'm using an Xbox-style controller in port 2 with nothing else plugged in, other than the keyboard. I peeked 56320 in a loop, and the results are fine.

Is there a compatibility issue with Xbox controllers and bmc64, and if so, is there a recommended style of USB controller?

Thanks.

Never had or seen issues with a legitimate controller, but with knock-offs it's anyone's guess. Never heard of or seen this particular problem with any USB controller to be honest.
