Description

I was playing Pokémon gold when i wanted to reset rtc but i noticed when i pressed button combo nothing happened i was using dpad for this but when i tried stick it worked for some reason i tried to disable analogue to digital joystick option but it didn't changed anything i then took switch out of the dock and for some reason button combos with dpad work but when docked back it's same thing i used mgba core before and i never had that issue but now when i attempted this button combo with dpad i think got capture taken even when i didn't press capture button it was so annoying that i had to disable it in system settings if anyone knows what causes this anomaly add your answer below (for citation: i was using retroarch for switch)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Pokémon Gold RTC reset button combo in RetroArch for Switch, comparing docked TV mode with handheld mode and D-pad versus stick input. Check whether the D-pad input is being interpreted as a capture command; done means the combo works consistently in docked mode without triggering capture.
