Description

When you place the cursor on an analogue direction on the RetroPad's Vita controller in the Input menu and press the Square button that analogue direction should be cleared - but it isn't.

Instead of clearing the selected analogue direction it's reset to the default mapping.

E.g. if your right PSVita analogue joystick has drift it moves the cursor around in the menu with no way to stop it - RA becomes impossible to use :(

(you can't even edit the Vita controller cfg file manually, I think - it seems to be built-in)

Please make it possible to clear the joystick directions input.

Research direction

Start at the RetroPad Vita controller handling in the Input menu and trace how Square processes a selected analogue direction. Done means Square clears that direction instead of restoring its default mapping, so a drifting joystick can no longer move the menu cursor indefinitely.
