hello there..

since i need a timer in my game, i tried to create a function which uses one of
the internal timer registers (obviously).
the problem i encountered was:

if i create a while-loop and check the value of the counter, it never stops!
(means: the cpu doesn't check the value of the counter, but if i insert
something like
"WaitforVBlank()" into the while-loop, the counter works correctly (but
significantly slower...).

while(REG_TM3D < 263){} //doesn't work

while(REG_TM3D < 263){WaitVblank();} //works....

i also tried to enable the interrupt-on-overflow...didn't work either...

it just seems that counting occupies the cpu to 100% so he doesn't have the time
anymore to check if the abort-conditions have already reached...
i really don't have a clue how to fix that.

cheers

roman
