Stepping forward in single frame mode?
Isn't there a way to step forward frame by frame using the tape recorder (when playbacking a tape?). I really need that now for CE debugging...
I was just playing around with the new features, and I just got the proof that my idea - combined with Ryan's one - can do the job: simply set the player's speed to ultrafast and start recording in 1-step mode, you will be able to see every single frame.
Actually, it does not the job requested by Zomis, and I guess that the options mentioned by Alan would be better, because then you could see what happens in a particular situation (a "taped" one) that could be hard to reproduce again.
Nonetheless, I guess that both solutions would be inadequate for real debugging. I would ask for a single-engine-scan step mode, and maybe also for a single-tile-check step mode. The ability to switch between them all (tile, scan and frame step modes) during a single debugging session would be very nice and useful.
Missing something like this, you could see tens and tens of elements changing suddenly in a single frame, and that would be too much to debug in single-frame step mode.
Personally I don't need that, so this is not an official request

Anyway, by the way, have fun!
