Hmm, I added a controller profile for my game CLONESPACE and tested with 2 official Microsoft controllers; a wired 360 pad and a wireless XBOX one pad. I tried it in Brave and Edge browsers and I couldn't get any configuration working at all. Not sure what's going on here; also tried refreshing the page, clearing the cache etc.

It worked for me (Xbox One), although you won't be able to fully map the game to a controller anyway, since it uses mouse controls to aim and shoot, and remapping mouse input is currently unsupported.
Very cool!
Been a long time since I played any game with a controller, and never on PC... might have to try some with this.
It is awesome that you guys are still making so many new features for flash content on the site!
It is also great that we are getting more supporter features to help get support for NG.
As long as we have NG, flash will never die!

Had you use the mapping link on the project details page, or had you used the one on the view page? I'm not seeing controls mapped there at the moment but I can only see the global mapping at the moment and not any personal mapping you set up.
Also you use the mouse to aim and shoot in Clonespace so controller support won't work there, unless there are keyboard alternatives to the mouse controls. Does it seem to not be applying any keyboard mapping at all though? Have you been mapping other games that worked fine?

Gamepads on mobile will work but we still need to add an override for game pages that won't play on mobile - we have a "this game is not compatible device" message that we want to let people skip over.

If a game is running when you add your initial keys, you'll need to refresh the page. If you had set up gamepad support previously but then edit keys while the game is running, it updates real-time. It's the games that launch without any key data at all that need the refresh for changes to kick in.
I ticketed this bug and mapped these games!

Since fancy pants world 2 and 3 aren't mentioned thought I'd suggest bindings
World 2:
D-Pad and Left Stick - Arrow Keys - Movement
A Button - S Key - Jump
Optionally B could also be mapped to the Up Arrow Key like the console games
For world 3 the bindings would be the same but with the X Button binded to the A Key for the Pencil Sword you unlock in the game

I added the B button support and the pencil sword now. The series should otherwise be mapped so let me know if any aren't working - I had used a template for some and there's always a chance something was broken there.
So, I have an old Xbox 360 controller with a USB cord, but it can be wireless. I probably still need to download a plugin or something if I plug it into a MacBook, right?

I think the older Xbox controllers were wireless for Xbox but it wasn't actually Bluetooth, so not sure what is involved with getting it to work on a Mac, if it can just plug in and work or not.

This could go for any gamepad-compatible game, Flash or not - the message could change to read “You can play this on your device with a gamepad connected!” And then if the gamepad is connected when the page loads, you’re good to go and the game can be launched.
Undead End is still really cool, now with gamepad support:
Some Mario-themed Flash games!
EDIT: Oops, there are other game modes in this that use the Spacebar to shoot. Maybe that can be the B button?

These are both all set!
How could I miss that?!
No wonder I was able to play it with my Bluetooth controller.
Thanks a bunch, no, a LOT, for making this happen!
I LIIIIIIIIIIVVVVVEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Finally. We got it. Now we can play those games with controller.
Can you use Nintendo Switch Online controllers (NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, & GameCube) to play these controller supported flash games?

If they work on your PC they should work here, if anyone tries, report back!
This one was a pretty tricky keybind...
This keybind you'll only need once!
Is both players being able to pause and quit a good idea? Open to feedback on that LOL
Last one!
Unrelated but the score submitting link in the game looks very much not in operation anymore:
Also, The Meat Boy Map Pack doesn't have any keybinds but Meat Boy does:
I assume the keybinds would be the same!

Hell yeah my dude! It works like a charm!
(I'll just link to a gif now, in case it wont play in here).
I tried it out. Put a USB-C adapter in my phone, a PS5 controller into that.
And super funny thing about the mouse support here. Android seems to natively use that trackpad on the PS5 controller as a mouse cursor. And I can fully navigate my phone with it, like I would with my finger. But I can click on anything I want with it, EXCEPT for anything going on, inside the Ruffle screen, for some bizare reason.
What also would be a cool work-around for that, is if there would be an extra button mapped, that just functions at that mouse-click, where the cursor is currently at.
(I also had to set the browser on my phone to desktop-mode, btw, to bypass the device incompatibility error message, but that was no problem for me)
(And going full -screen kinda gets me that semi-unused space at the edges of the screen, might wanna get a kinda black border layed over that area for when you right-click to hit full-screen, or some neat border art! ';D)

I'm not sure what our capabilities are regarding mapping controllers to mouse clicks but will see.

Josh has made an update to bypass the blocker, it might be launching today!

We were tinkering with our Ruffle parameters to add black bars but it doesn't appear to be a working feature in Ruffle at the moment, hoping with a future update we will be able to do that.
