To reverse the game, the user press and hold the rewind button. And at any point, releasing the button makes time goes forward again. A very simple approach would be to make a SNA for each frame and limit the RAM snapshot to 128KB, which is ok for 99% of CPC software. For a 10-seconds long rewind functionality, only 64MB RAM is needed (128KB * 50 frames * 10 seconds) . A more efficient approach is to store only the values that are changed in RAM between two frames, so that RAM can be restored when rewinding. This allows for long rewinds, even of a CPC equipped with a 4MB RAM expansion. Proof of it is the GBA emulator [https://youtu.be/Sfc_1NKbiKg SkyEmu demonstrating super long rewind] while needing very few RAM. For debugging, going back to the previous instruction is easily implemented. The emulator has to store the time when the previous instruction was executed so that he can go back to that instruction. In the same way, emulators can provide access to the previous HBL, IRQ, VBL, etc. <br> = Emulator accuracy checking tools === Quick

= Emulator Detection =
If you want to promote usage of real CPC computers, you can detect CPC emulators by:*Checking if the memory is initialized with zeroes, as real machines have random memory values at boot*Focusing on the minute details in Z80, CRTC and PPI chips. They are most often wrong in emulators*Examining the FDC chip. It is only replicated more or less superficially in all emulators because the internals of the chip are still unknown Combining these methods will definitely get you a 100% success rate in detecting emulators, even the toughest ones. <gallery>Emulator undetected.png|Emulator undetectedEmulator detected.png|Emulator detected</gallery> There is also this initiative for emulators who willingly want to be detected: [[Emulator_IDs|Emulator IDs]] <br> = Emulators running on the Amstrad CPC = {| class="wikitable sortable"!
