I just tried it and the issue's still happening the exact same even after deleting everything including the files in AppData and reinstalling.
Edit: Tried my Logitech F310 in both modes and neither D or Xinput mode worked either.
Edit edit: Tried it with my Xbox controller too and same thing. Cleared the settings file after every attempt. Went back to the last version and that doesn't work either now so it might just be something on my end.

Tested with Mayflash, Raphnet N64 adapter (DInput), and Xbox and can no longer replicate. I'll try and get a buddy to test to see if there's something about my environment that's causing it to work just for me. Not sure what could be causing it if it's on your end. Thanks for your patience with this 🙏
Edit: buddy could not replicate it either 🫤
