When using touch controls, after changing the dpad buttons to mouse axis in the controls menu, the games register the dpad inputs as both mouse inputs and keyboard direction inputs.
Examples:
SimCity 2000, using dpad as mouse, the mouse moves and the map scrolls at the same time.
DungeonHack, using dpad as mouse, the mouse moves and the characters walk at the same time
I'm closing this, as I found the cause for it was the automatic game bindings, after turning that option off, the game would respond only to the ones I configured in the controls menu.
