Re: [Freemint-discuss] XaAES' integrated BubbleGEM

[Jo E. S. <jo...@on...>]

I tend to agree, this doesn't belong in XaAES itself and IMO it can safely be removed. But if it stays then it should work. Which maybe it does, and I just don't understand how to use/set it up. Unfortunately I don't have time (well, that's not strictly true, but that would mean less time spent on other Atari stuff) to do much testing, not really motivated either because I don't use BubbleGEM.
