Resting the device. with a reset button:
V 2.0: Pressing the reset button is not really necessary. You can just unplug the controller you are using and plug in the new controller without the need of a reset button. However, if the controller you plug in does not work, leave it connected and press reset.

Resting the device. without a reset button:
Unplug the controller and unplug the usb. Plug in the new controller , then the usb.

Will Bliss-Box work with my emulator?
Unless an emulator does not support HID it will work. I do not have control over what an emulator author does. As long as they fully support HID everything will work. I have never seen a case where the Bliss-Box did not work other then dolphin while in rapid development. The dev team quickly resolved the issue and all worked fine. If you have troubles, contact the emulator author and work with them to get it resolved, I can't and won't support their inability to support such a simple common device.  Trust me, they are going to want to resolve the issue. Because without supporting HID they are basically severing most joysticks from even working.

Q1. All my buttons are not working?
A1. reset the device.
A2. Is this an official gamepad? (i.e. knockoffs or 3rd party game pads may not work). Let me know.
A3. Some connectors may need replacing on beta boxes. If you feel the connector is faulty , its replaceable (contact me ). 
A5. Does the controller in fact work? Old controllers will act this way, test on the consol.

Q2. I get random non-sense?
A1. Make sure you don’t plug in multiple game pads. Some NOT ALL will not play fair with others (i.e tg16 does not like sega 6 button ) reset the device. As a rule of thumb I recommend you only have one type of controller plugged in at once.
A2. The firmware will attempt to auto detect, so if you want to play snes, make sure it’s in when you plug in the usb.
A3. Make sure the controller is plugged all the way in, some of homemade connectors needs this explicitly. 
A4. Bliss-box, like many other adapter out there, was designed to work with only original game pads. Bliss-Box may not support your 3rd party controller. If you would like to email the detail, I can try to make it work. In most cases I can send you a patch and if that works it will be supported.
A5. Some Dream Cast and Game Cube controllers, have reported to act this way. I need as much details as possible. Email me for details

Q3. My coleco does not support the number pad, and its buttons fire with directional’s?
A1. Reset the device while holding the right side button, the adapter is in atari mode. For the SAC controller hold the purple button.

Q4. My snes or nes makes the X go left when I hit a button
A1. Reset the device, the adapter is in atari mode. It must detect the snes/nes.

Q5. Only one buttons is shown, and it is always pressed?
A1. Is the controller unplugged, and the pause button ON? Bliss-Box has an auto pause feature. This means the controller has became unplugged.

Q6. My sega X Y Z don’t work? 
A1. The controller maybe in 3 button mode. Hold down the start button when inserting the controller and see if this helps.

Q7. I have more buttons on the HID window than my controller has?
A1. This is normal, it’s part of saving space on the chip. It should not affect game play or setup.

Q8. My guitar hero has the left button ( button 13 ) held down?
A1. Keep the Guitar connected, Reset the device.

 Q9. So can I use more than one controller on one box?
A1. The 4-play is the only product that supports multiple controllres at once.

Q10. Why plastic , why not a metal box
A1. At the moment plastic is all I can do, I have a lot of requests for metal boxes, so I may look in to that

Q12. You don't have my controller listed will it work
A1. Maybe, email me and ask.
