About Us
What Is Bliss-Box
Bliss-Box is a passion-driven project dedicated to bringing classic gaming hardware into the modern era. Founded by enthusiasts who grew up with the golden age of video games, Bliss-Box was built on one simple idea — that every controller, from every generation, should still have a place in today’s world of gaming.
We believe that the feel of the original hardware — the clicks, the triggers, the nostalgia — can’t be replaced. That’s why Bliss-Box designs smart, modular adapters that let you experience your favorite systems exactly as you remember them, no emulation shortcuts required.
At Bliss-Box, we believe classic gaming hardware should remain relevant in today’s world — not as relics of the past, but as active tools for play, creativity, and connection. Our technology gives these controllers a renewed purpose, allowing them to continue serving gamers decades after their original release.
Bliss-Box also strives to connect gamers of all kinds — from hobbyists and collectors to speedrunners and players with disabilities — by making gaming more accessible and universal across both retro and modern consoles. Whether you’re revisiting your childhood favorites or discovering retro gaming for the first time, Bliss-Box helps you keep playing the way you love.
What Bliss-Box Does
Bliss-Box creates universal gaming adapters that connect authentic console controllers to modern devices like PCs, Raspberry Pis, and even newer consoles.
Our adapters are engineered for:
- True hardware accuracy
- Ultra-low input latency
- Plug-and-play compatibility across hundreds of controller types
From the Gamer-Pro to the Bridge, Bliss-Box adapters let you experience genuine gaming control across multiple systems. Use one adapter and choose from modular cables to fit your setup — no need to buy everything at once.
Whether it’s using a Dreamcast controller on a PC, a SNES pad on a PlayStation, or a Genesis analog controller on an emulator, Bliss-Box gives you total freedom over how and where you play.
What the Adapters Do
Bliss-Box adapters are designed to translate native controller signals into modern USB or direct communication protocols like LLAPI. This ensures every button press, joystick movement, and trigger pull is recognized exactly as intended.
Our adapters support an incredible range of controllers, including:
Atari • NES • SNES • N64 • GameCube • PlayStation 1 & 2 • Sega Genesis • Saturn • Dreamcast • TurboGrafx-16 • Coleco • Intellivision • and many more.
Advanced modules, like the Bridge, Blender, and BlisSTer, unlock even deeper capabilities — letting you mix and merge controllers, remap inputs, or even play wirelessly across different consoles.
Why It Matters
Bliss-Box exists to preserve gaming history and empower creativity. We believe that the original feel of a controller — its tension, its movement, its texture — is part of gaming’s soul.
By bridging old and new technologies, Bliss-Box gives collectors, modders, and gamers the ability to play, experiment, and preserve classic gaming experiences on modern platforms.

Founder’s Note
"Bliss-Box started as a side project to solve one simple problem — I wanted to play my favorite classic games using the original controllers, but nothing on the market did it right. So I built one. Then another. Before long, others wanted the same thing — an adapter that just works, no gimmicks, no lag, and no limits."
Today, Bliss-Box stands as a bridge between generations of gaming — a toolkit for players, collectors, and creators who care about authenticity. Every product we make is designed with precision, compatibility, and freedom in mind. Whether you’re a speedrunner, a retro purist, or just someone who misses the old days, Bliss-Box was built for you."
