Bliss-box 4-play advanced and RetroArch

[SiriusVI]

Hello everyone,

I have a lot of original retro controllers at home that I would like to hook up to my computer for use with RetroArch.

Up until now, I was using various different adapters and have set up different RetroArch set-ups (basically one for each controller type I own), each configured to work perfectly with a different controller type (N64; PS2; SNES; …). However, there are multiple things that bother me:

1. I don’t want to manage / update 10 different versions of RetroArch anymore.
2. There are still a lot of controllers I can’t find reliable adapters for.
3. Some features, like rumble support, don’t reliably work with some of my adapters.

That’s why I am considering buying the Bliss-box 4-play advanced, but I am unsure how well this works with RetroArch. Ordeing the Bliss-box 4-play advanced along with all the cables I need + shipping to Germany would be over 300€ and I don’t want to spend that kind of money if I’m not certain it will work as I want it to. At this price, it needs to be virtually flawless.

Is there anyone here using the Bliss-box 4-play advanced who can give me some insight as to how this works with RetroArch?

So basicaly, what I’d like to do is this:

1. Connect SNES controllers --> start a SNES game with RetroArch --> all buttons for players 1 & 2 work perfectly out of the box.
2. Close RetroArch --> connect NES controllers --> start a NES game with RetroArch --> all buttons for players 1 & 2 work perfectly out of the box.
3. Close RetroArch --> connect N64 controllers --> start an N64 game with RetroArch --> all buttons for players 1, 2, 3, 4 work perfectly out of the box + rumble works with the rumble pack inserted on all 4 controllers
4. Close RetroArch --> connect PS2 controllers --> start a PS2 game with RetroArch --> all buttons for players 1 & 2 work perfectly out of the box + rumble works.

And so on.

Is this possible, or is there any additional set-up required inside RetroArch? Maybe someone can explain to me how this works, because it is very hard to find good documentation online.

Thank you!
