Really that happens because the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative.
Example: CPReadWriteDistance: -864 CPEnd: 10092672 fifo.CPBase: 9568416
In SMG this is because PI_FIFO_RESET is writing and after fifo.CPReadWriteDistance will be setted to 0.
To Prevent that, I've Implemented AbortFrame function in the CommmandProcessor. It should fix overflown because of that.
Note: There is other issue (Issue 2846) where the fifo.CPReadWriteDistance is negative too but the effect is different.
I'm working to solve this.

This is EXPERIMENTAL, in theory don't break any game but if so Revert this commit immediately please.
Note: Beside Eternal Darkness needs DirectX 11 or DirectX 9 with Zelda Hack to works fine.

To change it, right click the affected game in the iso list, select Properties, and enter some constant for "Watermark tightness". Reasonable values range from 20 to 200.
FIFO seems unoverflowable on my computer no matter what I set this value to, so test whether tuning the value helps you ;P

Dual Core sync fix.
When the FIFO is processing data we must not advance the cpu cycles in CoreTiming because in this way the VI will be desynchronized. So, We are waiting until the FIFO finish and while we process only the events required by the FIFO.
This should fix Issue 2072 .
This affect to all games in dual core mode.
Please, You can test all games with VPS limiter auto, 60, 50 depending of the game and compare with prev revision.
For example now NSMB in the video Intro has 60 fps (prev 30 fps) :D or SMG does't need anymore FPS Limitter Hack to get 55-60 fps
Beside the slowdowns now are more softly and the fps more stables because the VI sync is almost perfect.
The Core Timing and Fifo modifications are delicated. Please report if this hang any game. Don't forget check with prev revision.
Enjoy it! Thanks to Rodolfo for teach me all about dolphin.

By now I'm pretty sure some games are written in multi-thread, and they depend on Watermark to suspend/resume their threads.
So without Watermark, they will never work.

I have no idea how all this stuff works, but this fixes at least some (if not all) games which worked before r5681.

Improved dual core mode for "Metroid Prime 2", "Star Fox Adventures", etc.
I should have committed this long time ago, but I don't have every game to test compatibility... Any way, better late than never.
PS: If any regression observed, feel free to revert this rev.

enable newline normalization
get revision number via `hg svn info` for svnrev.h
ignore incremental/generated binary files (windows/VS at least)
leave a comment if some files need native eol set in svnprops

2. Fixed a bug (for Win 32bit) that reports "No possible memory base pointer found!" even when there IS valid memory base found.
3. Made Metroid Prime 2 (maybe also other games) boot
PS: There is definitely some initialization problem with Dolphin (not found exact location yet), which prevents Metroid Prime 2 from first time booting (If you boot some other GC game first, stop it, then MP2 can boot without problem).
So I added an instant BP hack that can make MP2 boot even at first time.
And I've tested all my games to guarantee it won't break any game that already boots before this hack.

Now the frame limiter yields on CPU thread, not as before on GPU thread mistakenly
2. Fixed clear of VI interrupts
I guess VI interrupts are not used at all, because they were never cleared before
3. Made GPU thread 0% processor usage when paused whatever your active config is.
I tried the event approach but somehow the thread resume latency is excessively long (Who can tell me why?)

This also fixed Ikaruga, not sure whether it could fix Metriod Prime. If not, how about disabling EFB copy?

2. Fixed Issue 1909
Multi-Nunchuck control problem
3. Updated SYSCONF, which should enable games that require MotionPlus, such as "Wii Sports Resort"

Because commenting out this behavior fixes Silent Hill Shattered Memories.
If this commit breaks any game, please report.
PS: There is a EnterCriticalSection in fifo.cpp, which performs the Read Access, but there is no EnterCriticalSection in CommandProcessor.cpp which performs the Write Access, so how can we guarantee the Write Access is atomic?
