Instead of directly reading/storing settings from/to the SYSCONF, we
now store Wii settings to Dolphin's own configuration, and apply them
on boot. This prevents issues with settings not being saved, being
overridden and lost (if the user opens a dialog that writes to the
SYSCONF while a game is running).
This also fixes restoring settings from the config cache after a
graceful shutdown; for some reason, settings were only restored
after a normal shutdown.
Fixes issue 9825 and 9826
Using u8 as indexers is kind of silly, since the rest of the public API
essentially uses int for this sort of thing. Changing these to int also
gets rid of quite a few implicit truncations.
This also allows for getting rid of similar silliness in the netplay API.
There's no official implementation of the Vulkan API,
and Dolphin currently isn't set-up to work with the
single, commercially-available third-party implementation.
This is done to remove confusions among potential debugger users and to also make it more accurately tell what this feature is actually doing. Despite being true that it is using a memcheck (and it certianly checks that memory), the idea being to break on a memory access isn't really obvious especially considering that memchecks are also used in full MMU emulation to handle exceptions. It also doesn't help that memchecks are now supported in every builds.
It also changes the corresponding log because this log would be wanted by the user which means it should be more obvious that it was caused by the "memory breakpoint".
This is an issue because a driver may have to maintain two copies of a
texture if it batches all uploads together at the start of a frame.
In the Vulkan backend, we do something similar to avoid breaking out of a
render pass to copy a texture from the streaming buffer to the destination
image.
This was causing issues in the sms-bubbles fifolog, where an EFB copy to
the same address of a previously-used texture caused the previous texture
to be re-used again for a different image later on in the frame, causing
the original contents to be discarded.
