Looks like a duplicate of #90 and/or #389.

[strikersix23]

Is there a temporary way to do so?

There is yes, read QEMUs docs on usb-storage devices. Should close this issue as dupe.

I have but every hub/hub I use is rejected which one can I use?

Any port that's not in-use. See my report in #90 for more info.

Now that xemu supports internal daughterboard and the controller internal hub you need to use hub 1.x.2 or 1.x.3 (which reflect the two ports on top of the original controller)

Where x=3,4,1,2 for player 1,2,3,4 respectively

[strikersix23]

Is there an example of use for xemu moniter

See my original issue and read QEMUs docs.

There appears to be a bug in qemu where device_add hangs. Stop first then resume. See https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/650. This works for me

drive_add 0 if=none,id=usbdisk1,file=./test1.img
stop
device_add usb-storage,drive=usbdisk1,port=1.3.2
cont

test1.img needs to be an existing blank file of 8MB for an original size.

Works great, 4x8MB memory cards at once over 2 controllers.

Thank you

[strikersix23]

Can this be closed as invalid duplicate?
