alpenjodler Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) Hi there! I use a blissbox 4play for all my console emulation needs. It's a 4-player adapter for many different pads. Get your's here if you haven't already: http://skunx7.wixsite.com/bliss-box Thanks to Launchbox I found out about retroarch/libretro and I think if used together with a blissbox 4play, it can be to console emulation what the mame+i-pac/x-arcade combination is to arcade emulation. I came up with a button scheme for the bliss-box https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1On1y5miyK5zQGnIe0r9fRRuUGV5Pr3OShv4IB1_c5Yg/edit#gid=0 that maps the pads connected to the blissbox to the corresponding RetroPad acccording to this scheme I found in the retropie wikihttps://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/retroarch-configuration If I got the layout right (please help me by pointing out any mistakes I made in my spreadsheet) this should allow for a true plug and play experience if used with libretro. I talked with the creator of the 4play and he said if enough people are interested he might add support for the libretro layout. He even made a facebook post about it: https://www.facebook.com/blissboxadapter/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE&fref=nf Edited December 10, 2016 by alpenjodler 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALIE Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 This sounds great so with this I don't have to configure retroarch myself? . Just got my Blissbox and got it updated and played with a original Snes controller. Feels so right unlike using a morden controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpenjodler Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 yes, that was my initial plan, but it gets even better now: sean from bliss-box is currently sending a box to a retroarch dev in europe so retroarch can use the blissbox api which might lead to all kinds of awesome stuff :-D I'm waiting for a dreamcast emulator to output the vmu on the actual vmu I have connected :-D So for now I'll just remap when I switch pads. Also, I highly recommend getting a saturn pad, they are really, really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
