<\/a><\/p>\nBliss-Box<\/a><\/p>\n RetroArch has support for many adapters and the ability to add countless more, however, it does so by mapping per adapter. Similarly, the 4-Play also supports a large number of controllers but outputs them as one device.\u00a0 Previously, RetroArch could not map each game pad because of this. Fortunately, the 4-Play was designed with this in mind and has a built in API any project could take advantage of without the need of drivers. In this update of RetroArch each pad seen by the 4-Play is read in to RetroArch appending the pad type to the cfg file found during controller detection. You can read more about the Bliss-Box 4-Play here <\/a>or follow the project on the FaceBook<\/a> page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RetroArch now has native support for the Bliss-Box 4-Play – a universal game pad adapter – in the latest nightly builds. This support will be included in the upcoming stable release (1.7.0).

Using the same API mechanism, we could expect to see but not limited to: native game pad communication with Gamecube and Dreamcast, direct memory card support and LCD screen writing, support for all 12 Playstation 2 pressure buttons, and more. The latest version of the 4-play firmware is required and you must configure your 4-play with the API tool available on the Bliss-Box page for download.<\/p>\n<\/a>In addition the new firmware from Bliss-Box gives each player a unique USB ID. This allows players to be specific to the physical ports. Each USB name has a number indicating the player order.<\/p>\n
