Why does my 8bitdo and PS3 controllers randomly move?

Maybe that could be added if not?

Not sure if I follow - you mean to disable the button inputs for EmulationStation ?

@mitu you know how some games allow you to set a 'null input' so that there is a little play in the input to the game? This is done with a lot of Flight Sim games so that you can make slight adjustments without the plane doing rolls or loops.

Maybe that's what it needs to void out the ghost inputs? I don't know if it's possible. Does ES just see an input value... or does it see an input based on a length of time or a set voltage value.

so if a ghost input is +.02 volts... and an actual press gives + 1.2 volts... you would set the null to ignore anything under +1.0 volts. Effectively ignoring the ghost input.

That's what the capacitor mod is doing to the controller. It's adding a higher filter to the input so more power is required.

It doesn't work like that. There is no method to know how much 'volts' trigger the input, in order to ignore it or not.
