I've tested both Outside and VRAM. MiNT 1.08 worked very well with both. 
But with 1.10 both crashes just about any time, usually when allocating 
large memory blocks. I can't uderstand why virtual memory hasn't been
implemented into MiNT already. MiNT is pretty useless with only 4 meg. 
And memory is expensive.
