I thought it was a check-box to enable some unidentified hardware simulator

If you are an idiot then there are a lot of them about. You are not the first to do this and won't be the last. We should probably make it a bit more clear what the box means.

Hi, i have the same problem. When I run test in stepconf it works fine for all 3 axis.
In LinuxCNC I can move by keyborad arrows not all axis and directions. For example, i can move axis Y forward, but backward is not possible. I can move axis x left always, but to move x axis right I have to press down arrow (to let to move Y backward).
My computer is Dell GX280 (Pentium 4), and lpt port is connected to chinese interface board like this www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs-MACH3-engra...lue/32824131194.html
My configs are attached.

It sounds like you have a wiring issue. Double check your connections. Especially those relating to your dir pins for X and Y, and enable/disable (if you are using them)
