4-Play Advanced
The 4-Play Advanced combines four Gamer-Pro Advanced (GPA) adapters into one powerful USB device. It converts retro controllers to modern operating systems (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, MiSTer) and gaming consoles like the PS3, Nintendo Switch, and the original Xbox (when paired with the Bliss-Box Bridge), making those consoles compatible with any controller.
Compatible with virtually every controller and peripheral in existence (see tested Compatibility List), the 4-Play Advanced uses adapter cables which allow controllers to plug into its HDMI ports. This gives you an unparalleled capacity to play using different types of controllers at once or to swap controllers on the fly.
The Gamer-Pro Advanced also supports N64 memory card transfers between the original console and emulators (similar to the Adaptoid, but with more features).
NOTE: For the single player option, check out the Gamer-Pro Advanced.
Compatibility (Drop-In Upgrade)
• Works with existing 4-Play software
• Uses the same USB ID—no reconfiguration required
• Same controller mappings and logic, just faster
• Compatible with 4-Play/Gamer-Pro adapter cables
Grab a 4-Play Advanced for a seamless upgrade from the original!
How does the 4-Play Advanced improve on the original 4-Play?
The Advanced introduces:
• XInput and HID support
• Fixed 1ms USB polling rate
• USB 2.0 High-Speed
• True Force Feedback
• No combo (rumble) fix required!
In short: lower latency, better compatibility, and modern USB performance.

How International Shipping Works
This information applies only to customers outside the United States.
International shipping can be confusing, so we'd like to explain how it works.
When an order is shipped, the seller is generally responsible for the package until it is successfully delivered. If a package is lost, stolen, damaged, or never arrives, the shipping carrier typically does not assume responsibility unless additional shipping insurance has been purchased. In most cases, payment providers such as PayPal also require the seller to refund the customer if the package cannot be delivered.
Unfortunately, this means that uninsured international shipping places all of the financial risk on the seller.
International shipping from the United States typically starts at around $25 USD without insurance. Adding insurance can significantly increase the shipping cost. Insuring a package valued at around $100 USD can nearly double the shipping price, while higher-value shipments may cost even more to insure.
Many shipping services advertise "included insurance," but this coverage often has significant limitations, exclusions, or claim requirements that make it difficult to recover the full value of a lost package. Based on our experience, we cannot rely on these limited carrier protections.
To continue offering products at reasonable prices while protecting our business, we normally use shipping methods that provide adequate coverage.
Want to Save on Shipping?
If you prefer a lower-cost shipping option, contact us before or after placing your order. We can refund the shipping charges and allow you to purchase and provide your own shipping label instead.
Please note that if you choose to provide your own shipping label, you accept full responsibility for the shipment, including any loss, damage, delays, customs issues, or non-delivery. Once the package has been shipped using your label, any claims must be made directly with your chosen shipping carrier.
Our Money-Back Return Policy
We want you to be fully satisfied with your purchase. You may receive a full refund for any unsatisfied order within 15 days of the arrival of the shipment, minus the original shipping costs. Bliss-Box does not supply return shipping labels or refund shipping costs paid by the customer.
A restocking fee may apply to any non-defective refund requested after the 15-day return period. The item must be returned with all original packaging.
Please contact us for RMA eligibility for any defective items purchased on the Bliss-Box website after the 15-day return period. Any approved RMA within 90 days is covered free of charge. Any repair beyond 90 days cannot be covered.
NOTICE: Bliss-Box cannot support or endorse any modified firmware. If you are running custom or modified firmware, it will void your warranty.
Bliss-Box does not extend this return policy to any refurbished items.
For additional terms regarding firmware, bootloader modification, unauthorized reprogramming, hardware modification, technical support, warranty limitations, and inspection of returned products, please see our [Terms of Service & User Agreement].
