> The hardest control to change from the phyiscal car to the emulator was the steering wheel. The emulator only supported two button presses, one to go right and the other to go left.

The N64, and every N64 emulator I've seen, all support analog input, which Mario Kart 64 uses for steering. I don't get this.

I'm one of the people who made this. This was actually a hackathon project so we didn't use the analog input and instead faked the keyboard presses to the emulator.
Figured it was something like that. Sounds like a lot got lost in translation…
