4p wireless Mario Kart anyone? (Re-cap + Tim’s RGB mod)
I do plan to do an internal BlueRetro mod at some point (so I'll be able to connect controllers without dongles) but I'm waiting til this issue is hopefully fixed.
- 8bitmods Blueretro N64 wireless adaptor is sold out - are the AliExpress ones similar?

Do you guys think $200 is a fair price for modded GC. it's got Picoboot, bluetooth on all 4 ports, and a custom RGB led mod I made myself that changes between 20 colors.
best i could figure out is that he did this. https://github.com/darthcloud/BlueRetro/wiki/BlueRetro-DIY-Build-Instructions maybe there is something better?

PS1 internal BlueRetro mod update (port status LEDs & multi-tap support - details in comments)
This issue is documented on the BlueRetro github, where it is the 5th-oldest reported bug, as well as by far the most commented. This issue has been known for at least a year and a half. Will's Console Modifications used to have this bug listed on the UnoRetro page, but they removed it - even though the bug still hasn't been fixed - which means you have to use the Internet Wayback Machine to verify on an old version of their website that they knew about it.

Look Ma! No dongles! ... Internal BlueRetro for wireless controllers
The official BlueRetro docs have great instruction on how to install the code and pair controllers, but for internal installs I'd recommend nostalgic-influences wiring diagram.png) if you're like me and have trouble reading electrical schematics.

Fast real time data plotting
I suspect your issue is a delay in the lwip stack. In my projects I sometimes apply this patch https://github.com/jakkra/RoverController/blob/master/esp-idf-patch/no_delay.patch to decrease the delay of ws/TCP data. However as you use Arduino I'm not sure if you can easily change that as this is in the esp-idf. This decreases lag for TCP as it will flush the buffers after every write instead of LWIP buffering TCP data to send it in chunks.
