Debugging on PlayStation is impossible

The current state of developer tools on PlayStation seems to be nonexistent:

The first issue can be highlighted by this video I took in Drive World, attempting to view the developer console using a PS5 controller.

  • The scrolling frame where the open developer console button does not scroll all the way to the bottom after being opened for the first time
  • There is 0 controller support for the dev console. At the very least, this should enable virtual cursor (and disable when closed). Our game only uses cursor in specific menus and we are not interested in fully enabling it.

Console lacks the ability to remotely connect to micro profiler. The only way to use it currently is by navigating thru dev console and interacting with it via virtual cursor. Here is a screenshot of how mobile offers remote micro profiler connection

This posts is slightly a feature request as well, in my mind it’s more of a bug report because it introduces needless friction to me as a developer from making good experiences on console.

This problem reproduce on PS4 also with PS4 gamepad.
FYI - you can iteract with Roblox Console with PS4 gamepad on PC, so the problem is on ps4/ps5 platform.

PlayStation seems to be a large scale release from Roblox, why can’t developer tooling be improved? Any changes here will significantly improve the experience for everyone regardless of the platform

Certainly doesn’t feel like it with the amount of issues at launch

For what it’s worth, this has also been the case with Xbox and Quest 2, currently. Would like to see this resolved on all the newer platforms.
