Struggling to get gamepads working

[alexwaterston]

Hello, I'm trying to get gamepads working in my simple Game and Watch style game. I've enabled gamepad support in the game and connected a USB gamepad but none of the gamepad objects in the list is "connected". I'm on a mac and I've tried the game in both the arc browser and safari. The Jelly Jumper sample on the excalibur site doesn't work either. Anyone got any experience of this? Thank you! Alex

@alexwaterston That's definitely unexpected! Can you post some example code that you have? Could you also send me the version of Arc/Safari and your Mac OS? I should be able to partially test on browserstack...

I do remember that Mac needs drivers for some gamepads to work, what gamepad do you have?

Jelly Jumper is working with a gamepad on my windows machine at the moment.

The Jelly Jumper sample on the excalibur site doesn't work either. Anyone got any experience of this?

Just checking that the problem you're having with Jelly Jumper is the gamepads not working, but the game is running?

Thanks Erik. Really appreciate you replying so quickly. My code is here: https://github.com/alexwaterston/phonegame And you can play the game here: <https://alexwaterston.github.io/phonegame/> Super Service Desk Dash<https://alexwaterston.github.io/phonegame/> alexwaterston.github.io<https://alexwaterston.github.io/phonegame/> [X]<https://alexwaterston.github.io/phonegame/> I got it working in safari in the end but it still doesn’t work in arc. I’m using the latest public arc build and I am on the latest macOS. It seems to work on windows with no issues. Jelly jumper runs but again, in arc, controllers do not work.
