George Bain's NY tutorial contains a section on counters and the 'root counter'. Just a quick question of my own - how often exactly is the root counter incremented? The manual states it is increased every 0.24 microseconds. Using the framerate as a guide, I worked out that the time between ResetRCnt and the root counter reaching the value of about 15500 is 1 second. What gives?
