You should be able to switch them as you're playing, but they don't seem to have mapped a way to do that on a controller.
I don't think that's a Steam Deck issue - it works the same way (i.e. incorrectly) on Switch as well. Hoping it will be patched to work as per the original.
As noted earlier, I'm really loving it overall, but if I were to voice a complaint it would be that the two games I was looking forward to most are the most flawed in emulation - the aforementioned Batalyx sub-game switching, and the markedly sub-par and frankly disappointing sound of the Llamatron port.
Llamatron plays just fine, so first world problems I guess, but it sounds bloody awful. I can live without samples that had copyright issues and had to be removed, but all of the sound seems weirdly thin and weedy. This is particularly noticeable if you watch the Llamatron/shareware video, wherein you hear hear the full-fat sonix in all their glory, and then dip out of that and go back in to play Llamatron yourself. The contrast is quite stark. Sigh.
Aside from that it's pretty much all cream. Discovering just how playable some of the VIC-20 titles are to this day has been a pleasant revelation for me as well, as I never encountered any of them in the wild BITD.
It's the one where the game crashes after the first bonus game, and you only get a blue screen with a blinking cursor instead of going back to the game when you either win or lose the bonus game.
