Would this work with old Rift CV1 sensors and controllers?
If it works with SteamVR, then it should be compatible.

Hi! Does it work to emulate a Wiimote or Joy-Con in motion controlled games?
Hello! Yes, a youtuber made 2 videos one using PS2 emulator and one using Wii emulator, they will be posted on 31.8 and 5.9. So yes, wii emulation compatibility confirmed.
Support Pico4 controllers ?
And, Can I play games in steamVR theater mod with this?
Hello, Iโm releasing an update right now with improved Quest 2 and Quest 3 compatibility. I believe Pico 4 tracking works similarly to Quest tracking. I donโt own a Pico, but if the headset is correctly recognized by SteamVR, it should work.
No, this software is designed to work using VR controllers as a Lightgun on flatscreen, it is not working inside the headset. maybe "theoretically" if you are able to calibrate the virtual theatre screen using the controller toutching the 4 corners of the screen in virtual reality it maybe work... but I don't think you can do it precisely... maybe in passtrough mode, idk.
