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.
