Starting up always breaks controller bindings...

Please post the contents of the emulog.txt file after the problem occurs. The file can be found in "My Documents\PCSX2\logs" for the installer version or in "PCSX2\logs" for the portable/binary version.

Please make sure to enclose your emulog in code tags like so (remove the empty space on the closing code tag!):

Nothing there. For some reason, clearing bindings and using automatic mapping make it LOOK fine, but even though the bindings are correct, output STILL is the right thumbstick corresponding to the same 4 buttons, and (game: SLAI still) the D-pad becoming the left thumbstick. Also, the left and right shoulder buttons are inverted.

And now, in manual mapping, it's trying to apply both right thumbstick functionality, AND 4-button output to the right thumbstick, meaning PCSX2 outright refuses to accept its own mapping!
WHAT IS THIS

SOLVED IT
Pressing Analog, like you suggested in the following thread, helped. This is weird.
Still nothing in the "logs" folder.

Alright, so why is Latest Stable so old and bad??

It's all explained where you downloaded pcsx2 :
From the website----"As we are now drawing closer to releasing a new stable version, we encourage you to use the latest nightly instead."

Tools->enable file logging
Oh this controller does have an "analog" button,then ?
Means the problem lied between the seat and the keyboard, I guess...
