Support in BigSur, Monterey or Ventura?

I have been searching for this file for a while, but I thought I would only find the old 32bit version and to my surprise I have found this port/recompilation for Catalina. I am no programmer, so I don't know the implications of just compiling it in another version of the operating system.

I am running Ventura right now and it has new support for driving wheels, gamepads and the like. I just plugged in my old trusty Logitech Rumblepad 2 USB and it was recognized instantly. It appears in System Settings under the Game Controllers category (that appears the first time you connect a game controller).

Apple just talks about the G29 and G920 racing wheels in its documentation, but I hope that the G27 and G25 can be recognized also… thus my interest in finding FreeTheWheel for a modern system.

If any of the maintainers here can say if it is just a matter of compiling it under Ventura and its corresponding Xcode version and using it I would much appreciate it. I have the old G25 racing wheel in a far away beach house, but I would make the trip to get it if there is the possibility to try a modern version of FreeTheWheel under Ventura with its new revamped support for gaming controllers.

Thanks a lot in advance and cheers from Spain
