Well if none of your controllers work with it (I assume they work on other systems) just a shot in the dark, are any of the port pins on the VCS adapter pushed in? Or worse yet missing or any type of problem?

Check with a meter for continuity from each pin in the port to the 1st point they end up on the board away from the port itself.

Its either a bad solder joint on the control port or one of the inputs on the RIOT is hosed and you'll need to replace the 6532.... more then likely it may just be a bad connection at the joystick port.

None seem to be pushed in,I'll try the second controller port soon and see if it has the same problem.
