Ported from heurazy's mario-kart-wii-VR-port. F10 > Controllers > USB wheel and pedals (also in the headset panel) picks and calibrates the steering axis and both pedals by moving them, and assigns buttons by pressing them, over raw SDL joysticks: no per-model table or gamepad mapping, and separate pedals, reversed axes and combined pedal axes all calibrate the same way. Settings live in PhysicalWheel.toml beside Config.toml; heurazy's five-button files load unchanged. The wheel is player 1's GameCube controller. In a race it owns port 0 (steering on the stick, the accelerator on A, the brake pedal braking then reversing over A and drift, the paddles on R and L), keeping only the other source's pause and item aim. In menus it adds only deliberate presses. It arms once every pedal and button is released, stays neutral in a race while its setup is incomplete, and nothing is opened until it is enabled. Optional light rumble follows the game's own, capped at 15 %. Added here: its confirm, a new back button and the steering device's first hat (D-pad) work the menus, since our VR controllers default to a Wii Remote and the wheel needs to navigate on its own. Devices SDL classifies as wheels are marked in the list. In the VR cockpit the wheel follows the hardware steering and hand steering steps aside while it drives. README documents setup and Logitech notes (G HUB, the G29's PS3 switch, shifter gears as buttons); not yet tried on a physical wheel. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The VR cockpit's steering wheel and hand steering are ported from this project: the grab-and-turn

(runtime/include/vr/native_wheel_mesh.h), the level seat (runtime/include/vr/cockpit_stabilizer.h),
the runtime hand-mesh loader (runtime/include/vr/openxr_hand_mesh.h), the per-draw substitution
(aurora-main/include/aurora/native_wheel_match.hpp, aurora-main/lib/gx/native_wheel.hpp), the
cockpit overlay renderer (aurora-main/lib/gfx/cockpit.hpp), their tests, and the seat, eye and
wheel geometry and guest reads in runtime/src/vr/mkw_vr_first_person.cpp and
runtime/include/vr/mkw_vr_first_person.h. The USB wheel and pedal support is ported from it too
(runtime/include/physical_wheel.h, runtime/src/physical_wheel.cpp and their test). The files
carry that attribution in their headers.

Reference material
Not code, but the documentation this project depends on:
- WiiBrew - Wii hardware and IOS documentation.
- Custom Mario Kart Wiiki (Tockdom) - Mario Kart Wii file formats and modding documentation.
- Retro Rewind by ZPL - the mod distribution this project can build as a static profile. No Retro Rewind content is redistributed here; users supply their own copy.
- The references heurazy's mario-kart-wii-VR-port credits for the cockpit, none of whose source is compiled into this repository: AnimalCrossing-VR-MR-Standalone (OpenXR hand meshes), Cyberpunk VR port (squeeze-to-grab steering) and Pulsar (Mario Kart Wii class layouts).
