Somehow John's Build.bat and Clean.bat did not get added in r262. Here they are.

- Committing Nik's timing changes: the PowerPC's DEC and TBR now count at the correct rate and time is accurately maintained between calls to the emulator. A VBlank bit was identified in the Real3D status register space and is now timed. Unfortunately, there are still some problems and not all games are perfect, but FV2, VS2, and others are working much better or perfectly.
...
- Added a new dump of Scud Race Plus (scudp1). Strangely, this one uses an MPC106 instead of the MPC105 used by every other Step 1.5 game...

Applied a series of patches by John Peterson:
...
- Fixed a printf statement in ConsoleDebugger.cpp.
- Fixed memory watches not breaking in CPUDebug.h.
- Added some helpful batch files to the VS2008 directory.
- Added support for automatic loading of parent ROM sets.

Brought in the near clipping plane for Step 1.5+. Objects close to camera are no longer cut-off (e.g., driver arms and steering wheels in cockpit views). Note: This change should probably be applied to Step 1.0 as well in the future. For now, I am leaving the old distance because Step 1.0 coordinates need closer investigation. Bringing in the near clipping plane extends the view frustum depth and will worsen Z-buffer accuracy. Be on the lookout for Z-fighting that did not previously exist.

This update fixes (hopefully) the last of the texture upload lags that were affecting some games, in particular Daytona 2 and Spikeout.
...
To achieve this UploadTextures no longer clears the model cache when called. Instead the cache is kept in-tact (which should help improve cache hits) and all textures referenced by models being rendered are (re-)decoded with every frame.
To help with tracking all the unique texture references contained in a model a new class TextureRefs has been added.

Byte swapped sample ROMs. This should fix the audio distortion that many users noticed. The differences are particularly noticeable in Scud Race and Daytona 2.

Previous "optimization" contained a mistake and made things worse. Removed unnecessary clear of the bottom layer buffer. Now, if there is no bottom layer, it will not be displayed at all and glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) is used instead.

- Finished cleaning up and optimizing the 2D renderer.
...
- Fixed up color offset register support for new 2D rendering system. Now maintains 2 computed palettes for layers A/A' and B/B'.
- Fixed a minor bug in InitPalette(); VRAM was not being typecast properly.
- Fixed specular lighting bug that occurred on some OpenGL drivers because integers were not being interpreted as floats in the vertex shader.
- Began to update copyright date in some files.
- Graphics modules now use the C++-style names for C standard library headers (e.g., stdio.h -> cstdio) consistent with the rest of Supermodel.

- NOTE: In this revision (possibly earlier), I've started to notice some intermittent geometry glitches in Spikeout and slowdown while playing certain characters.
...
- Added multi-texture fragment shader to repo.
- Added a multiTexture option (enabled by default) to use multi-texturing to decode textures.
- Added some comments regarding timing to the PowerPC execution loop.

Added OSD/Video.h to provide OSD-dependent video functionality. The static functions in here get called by Model3.cpp from within the render thread so that any OSD related rendering can also be run in parallel for a further speed increase.
...
Updated OSD/SDL/Main.cpp to provide the SDL implementations of the functions in OSD/Video.h.

Added support for multiple texture sheets (with up to one per Model 3 texture format) as a rather brute-force way to handle overlapping texture formats in the current 3D engine. This fixes some corrupt textures in Daytona 2 and Virtua Striker 2 (and possibly other games) and also offers a small speed increase when some scenes load multiple overlapping textures.
...
This feature only enables itself when a compatible shader script is loaded. Since none have been checked in yet this means it is currently disabled.

Added front/rear speaker balance (actually the master/slave SCSP balance). Balance setting is stored in CSoundBoardConfig and can be set on the command line (-balance) or config file (Balance). Valid range is 100 (front speaker volume doubled, rear muted) to -100. The default is 0, both sets at full volume. Balance is applied in the SCSP core before overall sound and music volume settings.

Updated some comments regarding the VF3 ROM patches. It seems many of them are no longer necessary. The single necessary patch affects timing (note how the warning screen stays up longer when it is removed). This needs to be investigated -- perhaps it can lead to a timing fix for vf3, vs2, and fvipers2?

- Added specular highlight support to the 3D engine. A shininess parameter is now be passed to the shaders. Does not work correctly and I will save the shaders themselves for a future commit.
...
- Added support for layer priorities. Highly unoptimal! This absolutely needs to be polished up before any release (and properly documented). For now, priorities in the popular games seem to be fixed but not all possible priority settings have been figured out yet.

New multi-threaded rendering changes that parallelise graphics rendering and PPC execution in order to increase performance on multi-core machines.
...
New gpuMultiThreaded config option to enable/disable multi-threaded rendering (enabled by default, disabling it reverts to previous behaviour).
Other rendering optimisations:
- texture uploads now only affect appropriate region in the texture sheet, rather than uploading the whole sheet each time
- performance of clearing the model caches has been improved
New Alt+O key input added to toggle outputting of frame timings for debugging purposes.

Preliminary backface culling fix. Matrices which effectively change the polygon winding without changing the Z component of the polygon normal are tested for when appending items to the display list. If necessary, the polygon winding is changed on the fly to ensure visibility is correct. This code desperately needs to be optimized. Note: Not yet thoroughly tested.

Fixed ROM banking -- appears to fix the sounds in Daytona 2 PE and VON2 but otherwise has not been extensively tested. The high 8MB of the 68K address is treated as a single window into the 16MB sample ROM, and can point either to the low or high 8MB bank.
