Prince of Persia: Sands of Time exhibits screen tearing on FMVs in Dolphin. Tested the setting (suggested by Amphitryon) on PC and Android and can confirm the tearing previously seen is gone with EarlyXFBOutput disabled.

The game sets up a fifo breakpoint callback that just writes a flag to
memory. The hang occurs right after calling GXEnableBreakPt(). It is a
busy loop that repeatedly compares the same register without reloading
it from memory. I guess the developers forgot to make the variable
atomic and never noticed because on hardware the breakpoint is hit
immediately so the flag is already set when it is loaded for the first
(and only) time. This patch grows the loop by one instruction to include
the flag load in the loop.

As the PS2 version is the only one with proper 16:9 widescreen, this cheat brings widescreen to the Gamecube version. This cheat has been tested on the NTSC version, but is stated to be region free.
Adding a community-requested list of Gecko and Action Replay codes to the allowlist. Many of these codes were from the wiki and are being added to Dolphin's repo for the first time.
To my knowledge, all of the GameCube versions of *Metroid Prime* and *Metroid Prime 2: [Dark] Echoes* only support 4:3, not 16:9 .
Currently, Dolphin's widescreen heuristic will fail to detect this and will erratically switch between 4:3 and 16:9 when Aspect Ratio is set to Auto.
These changes prevent the erratic aspect ratio switching by manually declaring that the game is solely 4:3.
The primary focus of this PR is the Eternal Darkness patch which fixes hanging at startup, which prior to this fix makes Eternal Darkness unplayable in hardcore. The MHTri patch was added as well simply because it could be.
