No go on 4 joysticks for XL models. Not only do you lack the ports, but the memory locations used on the 400/800 to read the additional controllers is allocated differently in the XL/XE. Scrounge the flea markets and thrift/charity shops in your area. I pick up old 8-bits regularly for as little as 2-3 bucks each. Also your version of MULE must be an earlier version not the XL/XE version. It seems there was a problem with software compatibility when Atari rewrote the OS when the XLs were introduced and the software publishers had to rewrite their stuff to stay compatible.
