I'm reposting this from this thread:

On the web player, with Xbox controllers and on both Firefox and Edge, the D-pad doesn't work, it opens the menu instead of handling directions. The games are only playable with the analog stick, which is weird. Apparently, this is a bug.

So, I tried everything, then I created a profile to ask this: is there any way to play with the D-pad of a game controller on the embedded PICO-8 player?

Currently, the D-pad is very weirdly mapped to the menu, so I can't even set my gamepad with JoyToKey. There is no way to change this weird mapping, and there is no way to disable joystick detection. I don't understand this choice at all, is there any way to escape it?
