Testing on a particular emulator is only saying something about how
FreeMiNT works on that emulator. If you want to test it on a ST, you
need an ST.

If something doesn't work when testing on an emulator, how do you know
if the problem is FreeMiNT or the emulator if you don't have the
original hardware to compare with?
