Bomberman 64 Second Attack: Controller glitch

Hi.
I am playig this on Project 64 (English Non-PAL Version) and on random intervals while playing a stage, the controls glitch out and I can't move left or right anymore and I have to reset the game to erase the glitch.
How do I fix this? Because I can't get past Aquanet because of it.
Note: If this is in the wrong section Im sorry, I'm not sure where to post this.

I would suggest you check the input plugin configuration, or maybe try a different input plugin.

It doesn't seem to work...
I believe it happens through a certain in-game state.
