I curious on how well it performs as I want to replace old p4 machine with raspberry pi 3 now to save on cost of electricity and also weight factor.

It works great. You just need to add "usbhid.quirks=0x16c0:0x05e1:0x040" to the end of the /boot/cmd.txt file so the Pi sees two controllers.

Some info at https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Xin-Mo-Controller.

If you really want to be cheap you can wire the controls to the GPIO on the Pi. https://github.com/recalbox/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi
