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.
Now that this is only called when playback actually starts (and not on unpausing), this change makes the experience a bit better (no more missing objects from not having reset the from object after changing FIFOs).
BPMEM_TEV_COLOR_ENV + 6 (0xC6) was missing due to a typo. BPMEM_BP_MASK (0xFE) does not lend itself well to documentation with the current FIFO analyzer implementation (since it requires remembering the values in BP memory) but still shouldn't be treated as unknown. BPMEM_TX_SETMODE0_4 and BPMEM_TX_SETMODE1_4 (0xA4-0xAB) were missing entirely.
QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
