Getting the Mayflash N64 adapter working

I am trying to get the Mayflash Nintendo 64 adapter (https://www.amazon.com/MAYFLASH-N64-Con … B002B9FIUU) working on my Arch installation but I am having trouble just getting it recognized. When plugging the adapter in, dmesg reports the following and nothing new shows up when running lsusb:

[15897.433543] usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 39 using uhci_hcd
[15897.550139] usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[15897.770231] usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71

[15898.096937] usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[15898.316920] usb 3-2: device descriptor read/64, error -71
[15898.530156] usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 41 using uhci_hcd

[15899.046961] usb 3-2: new full-speed USB device number 42 using uhci_hcd
[15899.460290] usb 3-2: device not accepting address 42, error -71
[15899.460322] usb usb3-port2: unable to enumerate USB device

I know from researching that these adapters usually show up as "HuiJia" devices, but obviously I am having no such luck. There's posts of people running this adapter fine on Ubuntu and a Raspberry pi ([1], [2]) so I am figuring it's just a matter of installing proper drivers or getting proper udev rules in place.

I have the libretro packages installed (libretro, retroarch, retroarch-autoconfig-udev) as well.

Any help/advice on getting the device recognized and working would be greatly appreciated.

edit: I found and followed instructions at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Re … ot_operate but am still receiving the same error above.
