This release adds replay enhancements intended to make viewing spectated and recorded sessions more pleasant. You may now pause replays by pressing the assigned Menu button (TAB by default), and step through frames in both replay and Training Mode by pressing the Step Frame button (. by default).

When in a replay, you can hit the Menu button to pause the playback. You can also hit the "Frame Step" button (. by default) to step frame by frame in both replay and training mode.

For online spectating, the old behavior ended the replay entirely when it caught up with the end of a stream, which proved to be a pain when watching live matches. To solve this, Flycast Dojo now pauses on the last frame, showing a window with the current frame position and the total frames received. Once it has buffered longer, you can hit the Menu button to unpause, and the match will resume once more.

Also included in this release is Melty Blood style input display for Training Mode, introduced in 0.4.24. You can combine this with frame stepping and dummy recording to be able to analyze just what's going on during a training session.

Any testing would be of great help before we include it with the next Fightcade update! To try out in Fightcade, just replace the contents of the Fightcade\emulator\flycast folder with this release. You can immediately test out the replay features by spectating or loading a replay from the Fightcade site. Be sure to keep a copy of your old flycast folder if you want to play with others who are not using the pre-release.
