Started trying to play FreeDink today, but couldn't do anything because my character would immediately walk to the top left corner of the room, and the most I could do to him was stop his movement by hitting the down or right arrows. Help?

Try unplugging any gamepads. If you don't have any connected, try unplugging any peripherals that you're not using at the moment (like webcams; those are sometimes bizarrely detected as controllers by SDL).

Yeah, I was thinking an analog stick could be being pushed or something.

Or, you know, you could get 1.08.

Oh, NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! 
You can also use the little box in DFarc3 to turn off gamepad recognition if you can't figure out what device is doing it. The command line switch is "-nojoy" I think if you don't want to use dfarc.
