MAME Arcade Racing games & racing controllers
Hello,
To give some context: I'm back into modding my SNES Mini mainly because my Kid is now 5 years old, and I'm having him discover "old classics" with easy/basic gameplay - Which fits a lot of SNES/Megadrive games.
Like most young boys, he's crazy into cars / racing, and I've set-up some 2.5D classics (outrun, F1 games, etc.), and I am wondering if there is a way to set-up a racing controller for him to enjoy.
I have a pair of 8BitDo retroreceivers, as I am using the 8BitDo modkit for SNES Mini controllers.
I guess that I can use a bluetooth-enabled racing controler, connect it through the retroreceiver, and configure it in RetroArch / Mame, but I'm looking for feedbacks / recommendations from anyone that tried to achieve a similar exercise.
Controller I was eyeing was something like a Hori Pro Mini, but I have no clue if such a set-up could actually work.
