Start/Select in PSXeven

Sorry if this has been covered before, but I couldn't see any threads about it. In PSXeven's controller config, I noticed two buttons configured as F1 and F2. I take it those are the start/select buttons. However, F1 and F2 are also used for save states. So if I press on F1 or F2, I just get state saves/switch.

And if I try to configure those two buttons to something else, they don't seem to do anything. I can't skip past cinematics that would normally be bypassed by the Start button, for instance.
