TunTap has recently become unmaintained, and it seems Apple wants developers to move away from kexts in general. TunTap currently takes some finagling to work on Catalina, and it may not work at all on Big Sur, necessitating a non-kext-based solution. Fortunately, fake Ethernet devices were introduced in Sierra and can be used similarly to tap adapters. This commit adds a new type of BBA interface implementation which uses fake Ethernet devices via tapserver (https://github.com/fuzziqersoftware/tapserver) to communicate with the host. This implementation was tested with PSO Episodes I & II, which can successfully connect to a private server running locally.
This implementation is only available on macOS, since that's the only place it's needed - Windows/Linux/Unix are unaffected by TunTap being deprecated.
Fallback Region
A user-selected fallback to use instead of the default PAL
This is used for unknown region or region free titles to give them
the ability to force region to use. This replaces the current fallback region
of PAL. This can be useful if a user is trying to play a region free
tilte that is originally NTSC and expects to be run at NTSC speeds. This
may be done when a user attempts to dump a WAD of their own without
understanding the settings they have chosen, or could be an intentional
decision by a developer of a ROM hack that can be injected into a
Virtual Console WAD.
Remove using System Menu region being checked in GetFallbackRegion
Use DiscIO::Region instead of std::String for fallback
Add explanation text for Fallback Region
Other than the controller settings and JIT debug settings,
these are the only settings which were defined in Java code
but not defined in the new config system in C++. (There are
still a lot of settings that are defined in the new config
system but not yet saveable in the new config system, though.)
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.
This new setting is like Override Language on NTSC Games, except
instead of only applying to the GameCube language setting,
it also applies to the Wii language setting.

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.
Problem is that USBDeviceAddToWhitelistDialog starts a timer once created to poll for devices every second. In Qt, closing a heap-allocated dialog doesn't delete it, so it keeps on polling. This fix is to allocate dialog on the stack, then use "exec" to run it modally without returning. Once closed, the stack instance will get destroyed, thus killing the timer.
Most settings which affect determinism will now be synced on NetPlay.
Additionally, there's a strict sync mode which will sync various
enhancements to prevent desync in games that use EFB reads.
This also adds a check for all players having the IPL.bin file, and
doesn't load it for anyone if someone is missing it. This prevents
desyncs caused by mismatched system fonts.
Additionally, the NetPlay window was getting too wide with checkboxes,
so FlowLayout has been introduced to make the checkboxes take up
multiple rows dynamically. However, there's some minor vertical
centering issues I haven't been able to solve, but it's better than a
ridiculously wide window.
This adds the functionality of sending the host's save data (raw memory
cards, as well as GCI files and Wii saves with a matching GameID) to
all other clients. The data is compressed using LZO1X to greatly reduce
its size while keeping compression/decompression fast. Save
synchronization is enabled by default, and toggleable with a checkbox
in the NetPlay dialog.
On clicking start, if the option is enabled, game boot will be delayed
until all players have received the save data sent by the host. If any
player fails to receive it properly, boot will be cancelled to prevent
desyncs.
