Basically, a couple of SCEE samples have used them,
see 'profile', 'timing', etc

I seem to remember using them, and that you could just
grab the value from GetRCnt without initialising it
count = GetRCnt(1)
(probably gets set up by Yaroze startup code).
It may increment with every hsync,
but I'm not sure.

Has anyone ever played with the Root counter functions:
ResetRCnt
GetRCnt
StartRCnt
How do they work?
I need some timers in the program I am working on, and I thought they might
be the answer...
