I was wondering if one could create another virtual pad? From what I gather you map everything to an RA pad and then each emulator is based of this adapter (making emulator specific mappings). In using the Bliss-Box adapter I found I could make special mappings in every system config folder but see a much easier approach would be another virtual pad. Also being the Bliss-Box makes its own internal mapping changes per controller, It would only need to one generic pad for all emulators.
That is the issue.
For example (buttons)
nes
b - > BB sends to HID button 1-> RA b (correct button B )
a - > BB sends to HID button 2 ->RA a (correct button A )
sega
a->BB sends to HID button 1-> RA b (incorrect button B )
b->BB sends to HID button 2 ->RA a (incorrect button C )
So to fix this I need to do as I mentioned above. I understand this is extremely hard to comprehend without the adapter in hand. AS you said RA remaps to what it thinks is correct but so does the Bliss-Box. So they un map each other.
Either way you spin it’s not going to work out of the box. The onyl way I know how to fix it is to remap (or undo the remapping RA is doing) per system.
I can certainly continue down this road. So far it is working well. Though I feel being the way that RA is constructed that some of this can be done better. I’m just new to it is all. Are you sure there is no way to to auto remap?
Just to further clarify i’m going in to each system /opt/retropie/configs/[system]
and adjusting the mappings to match the true controller.
It would be nice if this could be done only for this adapter. Sort of how the autoconfig works.
perhaps it’s best I work offline with hunterk as he has an adapter in hand.
Why do you keep saying that? I’m not asking that? I feel i’m missing a conversation that may have taken place elsewhere.

But seriously, I was asking for current features and possibilities, maybe some implyed cooperation. You know working together for a greater good 
I apologize for any inconvenience here.
I think the overrides should do what you need. As long as you assume they’ll be using the original pad for each core, it should just need one remap per core to match the retropad buttons up to the blissbox buttons, whatever they may be.
Yes I too thought about that, if they are not planning to use the original pad the results are unpredictable. Though this also defeats the purpose of the BB, so well, duh right? So far the remap idea is good my worry is that if a user goes back to say xbox. This would mess up the xbox. Is there a way to remap only if the BB is connected? That would be ideal but not a show stopper.
