Incredible Tech. 8-bit update [Aaron Giles]

* added extensive documentation on all the various PCB layouts

* reorganized drivers to match PCB information

* fixed paging/flicker problems in Poker Dice/Dyno Bop

* fixed lack of announcer voices in Rim Rockin' Basketball (rimrockn057gre)

* fixed P3/P4 controls in Rim Rockin' Basketball

* added "behind the beam" updating for Super Strike Bowling

* redid Slick Shot input to use a crosshair for starting point and trackball

movement for velocity

* hooked up inputs for Dyno Bop/Super Strike Bowling, which are now somewhat

playable

* rewrote blitter implementation to be much simpler (no more macros)

* measured and implemented accurate blitter timing (fixes some speed

problems)

* cleaned up TMS34061 implementation to remove dirty pixel tracking

* fixed scanline computations in TMS34061 code

* updated Capcom Bowling driver as well to handle TMS34061 changes

 

Sega ST-V update [Angelo Salese]

* Fixed Batman Forever rom loading,now the game works,thanks to Runik to point this out.

* Fixed some interrupt issues because the old implementation was giving several hangs

  on the above game.To be more specific added the sprite draw end irq to the INTERRUPT_GEN

  structure & fixed a bug which prevented the vblank bit to not be cleared if the irq mask

  has the VBLANK-IN disactivated.

* Fixed the NMI_disable/enable cmds on the SMPC device,his function is to active/disactive

  a bit in the SMPC ram.This fixes the "2 credits bug at start-up" in Shanghai Triple Threat.

* Fixed a bug in the bitmap type 4 in VDP2 handling,which was causing the Sunsoft logo in

  Shanghai Triple Threat to not show correctly.

Large modifications demand a number change, so welcome to version 0.0.3. Firstly some relatively minor things. I changed the MMU to actually register waitstates with the clock, instead of just adding them to some useless variable; you should notice a little speedup. Also, I've modified the way SWI waits are handled, so they require acknowledgement before they can continue.

 

Moving up, I've moved the child window creation and handling from the main executable into the seperate DLLs. It was getting ridiculously unwieldy, and starting to clutter up the DLL vTable with entries that could be removed with a small redesign. There may still be a few bugs with the new child window handling; if you come across any, do let me know.

 

Some of you have commented that the emu has purported to load.NDS files for some time, without actually being able to interpret the header structure. Well, now the DS core can load the seperate CPU executables into their right places and start executing them. I'll leave you to see what loading two binaries means, but just note; it's bugged to high heck, and is unlikely to work in almost all cases.
