This option has always existed since it's used by FifoCI, but now it can be changed at runtime. Looping is something that should almost always be on, but it can be useful to turn it off when frame-dumping is enabled so that hundreds of copies of the same frame aren't created. Before, turning it off required restarting Dolphin.
The actual values don't matter since we overwrite all of the relevant fields, but other bits were not initialized (e.g. the top 12 bits of X10Y10), so the warning was semi-valid.
Previously, EFB copies would be in the middle of other objects, as objects were only split on primitive data. A distinct object for each EFB copy makes them easier to spot, but does also mean there are more objects that do nothing when disabled (as disabling an object only skips primitive data, and there is no primitive data for EFB copies).
This also adds the commands after the last primitive data but before the next frame as a unique object; this is mainly just the XFB copy. It's nice to have these visible, though disabling the object does nothing since only primitive data is disabled and there is no primitive data in this case.
This fixes the bad rendering on the first frame when using the software renderer: the software renderer's Z buffer started out at 0, but most games clear it to 0xffffff instead; this means that things don't render correctly except for in the regions where the screen was cleared by an EFB copy earlier in the frame.

If the number of objects varied, this would result in either missing objects on some frames, or too many objects on some frames; the latter case could cause crashes. Since it used the current frame to get the count, if the FIFO is started before the FIFO analyzer is opened, then the current frame is effectively random, making it hard to reproduce consistently.
This issue has existed since the FIFO analyzer was implemented for Qt.
The 'zero frames in the range' check can be removed because now there is always at least 1 frame; of course that might be the same frame over and over again, but that's still useful for e.g. Free Look (and the 1 frame repeating effect already occurred when frame count was exclusive).
A single object can be selected instead of 2 (it was already inclusive internally), and the maximum value is the highest number of objects in any frame (minus 1) to reduce jank when multiple frames are being played back.
This avoids some warnings, which were originally fixed by ignoring loads with a value of zero (see 636bedb207 / #3242).
Note that FifoCI will report some changes, but only on the first frame; these seem to be timing related as they don't happen if a different write is used to replace skipped ones.
Changed several enums from Memmap.h to be static vars and implemented Get functions to query them. This seems to have boosted speed a bit in some titles? The new variables and some previously statically initialized items are now initialized via Memory::Init() and the new AddressSpace::Init(). s_ram_size_real and the new s_exram_size_real in particular are initialized from new OnionConfig values "MAIN_MEM1_SIZE" and "MAIN_MEM2_SIZE", only if "MAIN_RAM_OVERRIDE_ENABLE" is true.
GUI features have been added to Config > Advanced to adjust the new OnionConfig values.
A check has been added to State::doState to ensure savestates with memory configurations different from the current settings aren't loaded. The STATE_VERSION is now 115.
FIFO Files have been updated from version 4 to version 5, now including the MEM1 and MEM2 sizes from the time of DFF creation. FIFO Logs not using the new features (OnionConfig MAIN_RAM_OVERRIDE_ENABLE is false) are still backwards compatible. FIFO Logs that do use the new features have a MIN_LOADER_VERSION of 5. Thanks to the order of function calls, FIFO logs are able to automatically configure the new OnionConfig settings to match what is needed. This is a bit hacky, though, so I also threw in a failsafe for if the conditions that allow this to work ever go away.
I took the liberty of adding a log message to explain why the core fails to initialize if the MIN_LOADER_VERSION is too great.
Some IOS code has had the function "RAMOverrideForIOSMemoryValues" appended to it to recalculate IOS Memory Values from retail IOSes/apploaders to fit the extended memory sizes. Worry not, if MAIN_RAM_OVERRIDE_ENABLE is false, this function does absolutely nothing.
A hotfix in DolphinQt/MenuBar.cpp has been implemented for RAM Override.
Fixes a bug where if you loaded a fifo before opening the fifo
player window (which you can do by dragging a .dff onto dolphin's
main window) then the player's widgets wouldn't be initilized
correctly.
Importantly, the object range widgets would be broken.
Makes VertexLoader_Normal completely stateless, eliminating the need for
an Init() function, and by extension, also gets rid of the need for the
FifoAnalyzer to have an Init() function.
Given this is actually a part of the Host interface, this should be
placed with it.
While we're at it, turn it into an enum class so that we don't dump its
contained values into the surrounding scope. We can also make
Host_Message take the enum type itself directly instead of taking a
general int value.
After this, it'll be trivial to divide out the rest of Common.h and
remove the header from the repository entirely
PowerPC.h at this point is pretty much a general glob of stuff, and it's
unfortunate, since it means pulling in a lot of unrelated header
dependencies and a bunch of other things that don't need to be seen by
things that just want to read memory.
Breaking this out into its own header keeps all the MMU-related stuff
together and also limits the amount of header dependencies being
included (the primary motivation for this being the former reason).
Prevents implicit construction of MSR instances from integral values.
This is beneficial, considering MSR values have an intended
representation while a regular magic value doesn't. So make these
conversions required to be explicit.
Since in this case we're setting it based on the state at record start
time, not when a register is loaded, UseMemory would not be called, so
this could potentially wipe out texture memory that was valid.
This should ensure that when playing with loop enabled, the first frame is
in the same state each time. There is potentially still issues when the
start frame is set to something other than zero, but I'm not sure how we
could work around this without capturing the entire state on each frame.
Fundamentally, all this does is enforce the invariant that we always
translate effective addresses based on the current BAT registers and
page table before we do anything else with them.
This change can be logically divided into three parts. The first part is
creating a table to represent the current BAT state, and keeping it up to
date (PowerPC::IBATUpdated, PowerPC::DBATUpdated, etc.). This does
nothing by itself, but it's necessary for the other parts.
The second part (mostly in MMU.cpp) is simply removing all the hardcoded
checks for specific untranslated addresses, and consistently translating
addresses using the current BAT configuration. Very straightforward, but a
lot of code changes because we hardcoded assumptions all over the place.
The third part (mostly in Memmap.cpp) is making the fastmem arena reflect
the current BAT configuration. We do this by redoing the mapping (calling
memmap()) based on the BAT table whenever it changes.
One additional minor change is that translation can fail in two ways:
either the segment is a direct store segment, or page table lookup failed.
The difference doesn't usually matter, but the difference affects cache
instructions, like dcbz.
Fix Frame Advance and FifoPlayer pause/unpause/stop.
CPU::EnableStepping is not atomic but is called from multiple threads
which races and leaves the system in a random state; also instruction
stepping was unstable, m_StepEvent had an almost random value because
of the dual purpose it served which could cause races where CPU::Run
would SingleStep when it was supposed to be sleeping.
FifoPlayer never FinishStateMove()d which was causing it to deadlock.
Rather than partially reimplementing CPU::Run, just use CPUCoreBase
and then call CPU::Run(). More DRY and less likely to have weird bugs
specific to the player (i.e the previous freezing on pause/stop).
Refactor PowerPC::state into CPU since it manages the state of the
CPU Thread which is controlled by CPU, not PowerPC. This simplifies
the architecture somewhat and eliminates races that can be caused by
calling PowerPC state functions directly instead of using CPU's
(because they bypassed the EnableStepping lock).
Reading uninitalized memory is non-deterministic. We used to only
clear the memory when using EmulatedBS2_GC or FifoPlayer, but we
now do it during Memory::Init instead so it always gets done.
