Need help with controller configs

OK, so I’ve got my auto configs set up on my 360 controller so that the directional buttons are on my left joystick & emulator features are on my d-pad (up is full screen; down is screenshot; left is rewind; right is frame skip). But whenever I use frame skip it still acts as if I’m pressing the right directional input. I’ve double checked my core configs, and I tried going into retroarch.cfg and adjusting all button & axis inputs to nul (I left keyboard inputs on the retroarch.cfg in case I’m testing something and don’t have my controller plugged in). But I’m getting the same results.

What am I doing wrong? How can I take the directional inputs off my d-pad?

If you don’t have anything assigned to input_playe1_right in your retroarch.cfg and your autoconfig profile has it mapped to something else, I would suspect there’s some external process monkeying with it. Do you use xpadder or joy2key or autohotkey, etc?
