The name was confusing as changing it at runtime would not change the window to fullscreen, as it effectively only affects the start of the emulation.
Also blocked the ability to change it when the emulation is running, to be more inline with other similar settings, like "Render to main Window".
This code was storing references to patch entries which could move around in memory if a patch was erased from the middle of a vector or if the vector itself was reallocated. Instead, NewPatchDialog maintains a separate copy of the patch entries which are committed back to the patch if the user accepts the changes.
These games are erroneously zeroing buffers before they can be fully copied to ARAM by DMA. The responsible memset() calls are followed by a call to DVDRead() which issues dcbi instructions that effectively cancel the memset() on real hardware. Because Dolphin lacks dcache emulation, the effects of the memset() calls are observed, which causes missing audio.
In a comment on the original bug, phire noted that the issue can be corrected by simply nop'ing out the offending memset() calls. Because the games dynamically load different .rel executables based on the character and/or language, the addresses of these calls can vary.
To deal generally with the problem of code being dynamically loaded to fixed, known addresses, the patch engine is extended to support conditional patches which require a match against a known value. This sort of thing is already achievable with Action Replay/Gecko codes, but their use depends on enabling cheats globally in Dolphin, which is not a prerequisite shared by patches.
Patches are included for every region, character, and language combination. They are enabled by default.
The end result is an approximation of the games' behavior on real hardware without the associated complexity of proper dcache emulation.

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.
If we want to enable codes in the default game INIs,
we should have some way for users to disable them.
This commit accomplishes that by adding a *_Disabled
section corresponding to each *_Enabled section.
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
