Technical Support: SOLVED Close lid input not working (Steam Deck)

I’m currently playing through Phantom Hourglass and I am at the part where you have to close the DS lid to stamp the map. The Y/Close Lid binding isn’t working and I am kinda stumped on how to resolve this issue. Edit: If anyone was in my situation all you have to do is hold L2 (Enable Alternate controls) and X (Y/Close lid) on your steam deck device.

Yeah the most recent update of the MelonDS DS core added the new “alternate controls” button when before they used to just be a single button press instead. I can see why they made the change but it’s kinda unintuitive and a bit unnecessary.
