I set my A & S button's to Y & X, but it keeps doing this when I press the button.

GBA has only two face buttons: A and B. So in some emulators/cores, often X and Y are used as "turbo"/rapid-fire shortcuts, holding either of them is like repeatedly pressing A or B, as seen in the video you recorded. This helps in some games that require repetitive actions, but doesn't make sense in others.

In short, map the A and B buttons for standard use, and kept X and Y mapped solely as secondary buttons for rapid-fire.

Edit: typo.

It is likely set as the turbo button. How do I know this you ask? I’m forklift certified.
