Ideas from trying out 4.1.1.0, slow motion button, vsysnc, descriptions, etc...

In versions <= 4.1.0.0. 'keyboard button 3' could be used as a slow motion toggle. (confusing to use this way, but it worked) This may have been a software fluke since 'keyboard button 3' in the setup is set to pause/unpause tape.
SETUP -> KEY SHORTCUTS -> TAPE BUTTONS -> PAUSE / UNPAUSE TAPE
It'd be nice to be able to set up an intentional slow motion button like this keyboard button 3 used to do, as well as other keyboard shortcuts to control the speed without having to go through the menu system.
-
SETUP -> GAME & MENU -> GAME SPEED/EXTENDED SPEED...
The order of these two should be reversed? EXTENDED SPEED then GAME SPEED, or better just have one GAME SPEED menu with everything in it.
-
It's weird that VSYNC MODE is in a different menu than the speed.
SETUP -> GRAPHICS -> VERTICAL SYNC (VSYNC) vs
SETUP -> GAME & MENU -> GAME SPEED/EXTENDED SPEED...
-
Not every monitor has 60Hz as it's VSync spot. (some have 60, 75, 85, 100, 120, 144, ...)
Just because a game is getting the same frame rate as the display Hz doesn't mean it's VSYNC, and just because a game is going at a different frame rate doesn't mean it's not VSYNC. Although, most of the time when VSYNC is used, frame rate should at least be the same. <-- look this up for a more technically accurate/detailed description.
Instead of FPS this is more like FPS Max, as not every system can get this high of frame rate at all times.
[ Note: I'm not saying vsync did or did not work in 4.1.1.0 here, just that the menu makes it looks like look like some assumptions were made that may not be true in all cases, even if assumptions were or were not made. ]
