+// Story time:
+// When FifoRecorder was created, efb copies weren't really used or they used efb2tex which ignored
+// the underlying memory, so FifoRecorder didn't do anything special about the memory backing efb
+// copies. This means the memory underlying efb copies go treated like regular textures and was
+// baked into the fifo log. If you recorded with efb2ram on, the result of efb2ram would be baked
+// into the fifo. If you recorded with efb2tex or efb off, random data would be included in the fifo
+// log.
+// Later the behaviour of efb2tex was changed to zero the underlying memory and check the hash of that.
+// But this broke a whole lot of fifologs due to the following sequence of events:
+//    1. fifoplayer would trigger the efb copy
+//    2. Texture cache would zero the memory backing the texture and hash it.
+//    3. Time passes.
+//    4. fifoplayer would encounter the drawcall using the efb copy
+//    5. fifoplayer would overwrite the memory backing the efb copy back to it's state when recording.
+//    6. Texture cache would hash the memory and see that the hash no-longer matches
+//    7. Texture cache would load whatever data was now in memory as a texture either a baked in
+//       efb2ram copy from recording time or just random data.
+//    8. The output of fifoplayer would be wrong.
+
+// To keep compatibility with old fifologs, we have this flag which signals texture cache to not bother
+// hashing the memory and just assume the hash matched.
+// At a later point proper efb copy support should be added to fiforecorder and this flag will change
+// based on the version of the .dff file, but until then it will always be true when a fifolog is playing.

+// Shitty global to fix a shitty problem
