Hi,

Getting into game controllers now…  
I am using a SNES styled game controller (with not analog sticks).  
The above game controller works great on Web HTML5 build.  
Have problem on Linux x86\_64 desktop where the above game controller signals d-pad down all the time?

Please have a look at our Defold Engine MIT open-source game project demo below on itch  
Let us know how to fix the above issue, thank you!
