You can't clear RetroPad joystick inputs on PSVita about retroarch HOT 7 OPEN

Indeed it does not work (on other platforms either). It does something, but I am not sure if this is intentional - if there is also keyboard map for the entry, pushing "scan"/"west" face button clears that, but not the controller mapping. Code looks as if it wants to clear all:

@sonninnos , do you have any insight if this is something of a feature?

Clearing the autoconf bind is a rather small code change, but even in my limited tests, I have found some more implications.

First, if autoconf binds are cleared by button Y, and no other action is done, they will come back on next restart.
Then, if some autoconf binds are cleared, and then autoconf profile is saved, it will be empty (as there were no manual binds) and will essentially lock out the user on next boot.
If the profile saving is updated to merge with previous autoconfig (or full bind was done before saving), that kind of works, but it does not preserve the button labels.

Let's leave a bit of time for thinking it over (comments welcome), if no better idea, I can still submit it in this form.

Works fine here on Windows with every bind item. Start resets to default and Y clears to "---".

But sure, those binds that come from autoconf profiles are not cleared. And for overwriting the profile with null binds being able to do so would make it a lot easier.

Glad you guys are looking into this.

If I remember correctly it works (clears the binding) on Steam Deck and Android too

... and on the not officially supported Trim UI and RG351M.

Otherwise it might be other bindings I'm thinking of that work/can be cleared (buttons) and not the joystick directions.
