Connecting PowerA Gamecube Controller to RetroPie

[vorvy]

Hello, quick question for anyone who might know:

I have some GameCube games on my Raspberry Pi 5 that I've been wanting to play, but only with a GameCube Controller. I was hoping to go completely wireless, and I found what looks to be a decent bluetooth one by PowerA.

I was wondering if it's as simple to connect one of these to RetroPie as say a controller by 8BitDo, or if any modifications need to be made to the code to get it to work? I'm hoping for something that I can easily connect and configure, and this controller looks like the closest-to-authentic bluetooth GameCube controller I've seen (I've included a link to it below). Thanks so much for the help!

Do you have any update on this? I am currently trying to make the same controller work, but I am not having much luck.
