Software: Racing Builds
Builds (13)
Some members of the retro gaming scene are advanced users who create and share custom builds for the Racing community. These custom builds can save time for newbies or for those who want a specific setup.
Many configure wheels and controllers within the front end but they may still need require calibation and settings to be updated depending on what wheel you have. This includes setting up trigger and button mappings for your preferred wheel.
Our Racing community is active and supportive and these builds will allow you to get up and running very quickly ... as long as you have a fast internet connection (as the builds can be large)! đ
