I imagine that these could still be emulatable in software, right? I.e. you could simulate whatever data the golf club was generating and pipe it into the emulator, such that you could play that golf game with a Wiimote or some other peripheral.
Similarly you could have some shim code for the online games like the horse race one that talks to some community run server, re-enabling a new kind of net experience.

I designed higan around a modular tree structure so that you can just create a new derived node for any peripheral, and define whatever API you like, so that we can emulate the protocol. Then it's up to the GUI to figure out how to do something when it sees Node::ExerciseBike, and how to do I/O with its API interface. One could imagine, for instance, connecting an actual USB barcode reader to emulate the Barcode Battler, or providing a text box to hand-type a barcode number. I don't see anyone actually bothering to simulate the entire horse betting network complete with virtual bank accounts, but if you're really interested, Raphael Assenat reverse engineered quite a bit of the JRA-PAT system for fun here: https://www.raphnet.net/divers/retro_challenge_2018_09/index_en.php https://www.raphnet.net/divers/retro_challenge_2018_09/index... It's a pretty good read as well!
