2 USB Ports on the C64 Mini

  werdy666

   Sorry if this has already been answered but with only 2 usb ports, What If
   I wanted to play a 2 player game, that is on a usb stick, whilst my usb
   keyboard is plugged in?

   I do love the idea of the C64 mini, but I think I do want a 1:1 scale with
   a full working keyboard and maybe 4 usb ports [2]:)

   [3]werdy666 here’s hoping that USB On The Go adapters and cable work on
   TheC64 mini just like the SNES Mini, so we can plug USB flash drives into
   the back of the computer rather than taking up one of the side USB ports.
   If the adapters do work then it will be like having a C64 with a HDD,
   leaving the side USB ports free for joysticks and the like. :-)

   They mentioned their facebook posts that using a USB hub is a potential
   solution for this. They can't guarantee all existing hubs will work
   though, and from memory, they recommended using external power for the
   hub.

   I think they made a mention of usb hubs on their faq page:

   In the user manual, they also had a recommendation on the rating of the
   usb-power adapter to use:

   "Please make sure to use a 5v 1A AC adapter that has been approved for use
   in your
   country, and read its instruction manual to ensure that it is able to
   supply power to
   THEC64 Mini."
