Fantastic and fantastic! I tried using B for a few cover pulls but it wasn't catching, so I'll try using the manager. Will keep an eye out for the new version too! Thanks so much!!
did you know @play.date recently got a full-speed Game Boy emulator on its store and the community is ROM hacking some games to add Playdate specific features and updates? 🤯 (video by @bb.wavelengths.online youtube.com/shorts/xAXg7...)
