Research direction
Start with the BlissBox FAQ and the linked RetroPie forum report, then inspect the existing controller-support path in RetroPie-Setup. Determine which 4-Play controller modes and platforms must work, and define completion as reliable support verified with the relevant wired controllers.

Description
The BlissBox 4-Play is a wired controller adapter which supports pretty much every wired controller known to the emulation community. Currently I believe the device is supported on Windows and Linux based operating sytems, possibly Mac as well.
Here is a FAQ from their site about details:

I wrote a post on their forum and it appears that support did exist to some extent on RetroPie but it was never 100% supported.

This is not a very popular device currently but this is a company which has been trying to grow and spread the word about their device to the emulation community. As an owner of the device, I would say it works very well for Windows. It's not cheap at $120, but it provides a lot of flexibility.
This is the perfect device for the RetroPie Project.
