How do I use USB OTG device?

Post by Ben321 »

I am running Android 4.4 (x86) in my VBox. I'm attempting to use a tablet/phone USB accessory. Of course the accessory has a male MicroUSB plug, but with an adapter I bought on Amazon (which converts a MicroUSB male plug into a standard USB male plug) I have connected this tablet/phone accessory to my PC. In VBox I have set the the emulated USB port type to 2.0, and have added an entry for my device. However, when I run the app that uses this device, it doesn't work. I am remembering now that the device's manufacturer stated that the device uses USB OTG (On The Go), not plain USB 2.0. Is there any way to have Virtual Box emulate OTG, so that my USB device will work?
