Spyro, Eternal Night - controls on dolphin core issue

Hi, so i’m trying to play The Legend of Spyro - The Eternal Night with my xbox 1 controller and of course I cannot emulate the wiimote+nunchuck since you have to swing in directions. So i’m using wiimote+classic controller and everything is fine, but when I have to use the d-pad in the menu, it doesn’t go up or down, looks like the IR is messing with the controls. thx.
