Tlb mapping is stored @0x3d5580 (GoemonTlb[150])
The function that will populate the tlb is around pc = 0x356250, ra = 0x33ad48
The idea is to add a callback on 0x33ad48 block that will populate the tlb based on
ee mem content.
Note: The hack is based on previous Virtual PS2 => Physical PS2 LUT
Aligning GIF packets on state save actions seems to cause some issues with the hack.
Still hope to find a better solution.

Threading VU1 took a lot of rewrites and new code to make possible (MTGS, microVU, gifUnit...), but we finally got to the point where it was feasible, and now we've done it! (so now everyone can stop complaining that pcsx2 only takes advantages of 2 cores :p).
The speedups in the games that benefit from it are great if you have a cpu with 3+ cores (generally a 10~45% speedup), however games that are GS limited can be a slowdown (especially on dual core cpu's).
The option can be found in the speedhacks section as "MTVU (Multi-Threaded microVU1)". And when enabled it should should show the VU thread-time percentage on the title bar window (Like we currently do for EE/GS/UI threads).
It is listed as a speedhack because in order for threading VU1 to have been a speedup, we need to assume that games will not send gif packets containing Signal/Finish/Label commands from path 1 (vu1's xgkick). The good news is very-few games ever do this, so the compatibility of MTVU is very high (a game that does do this will likely hang).
Note: vs2010 builds and Linux builds need to be updated to include "MTVU.h" and "MTVU.cpp".

Pcsx2 now has a gifUnit class which acts like the ps2's gif and executes a single gif transfer at a time (and performs path arbitration according to priority and path3 slicing).
This new code is generally a speedup for most games. Particularly VU heavy games like GoW.
This revision breaks old saved state compatibility so don't update if you wish to keep playing with your old saved states.
Leave comments if this revision fixes or breaks anything...
Message to GS Plugin authors:
This new code now uses only 1 gif callback to transfer data to the gs plugin (GSgifTransfer).
pcsx2 also is garaunteed to send full GS primitives to the plugin. So you don't have to account for partial-transfers anymore.
Thanks goes out to shadowlady who tested around 500 games for me :D
Note 1: The old gif code is still in this revision, and can be enabled by the USE_OLD_GIF macro. The old code will be deleted soon.
Note 2: This revision also enables assertion dialogs in devel builds, and changed a lot of assume cases into assertions.

* Savestates are now 'proper' zip archives, which can be opened by any zip tool such as 7zip or winrar. PS2 virtual machine memory components are stored as individual files (such as eemem.bin, iopmem.bin, etc), and can be extracted, modified, and re-packed easily (maybe fun for hacking!)
* Savestate filenames are now based on a combination of serial code and CRC, ex: SLUS-12345_(0D386A2).00.p2s
* Savestates made during the BIOS will have meaningful CRC codes now, instead of 0000000.
* Minor improvements to error handling.
* Better support for unicode and internationalized windows installs.
* Prep work for eventual screenshots embedded into savestates (WIP)
* Changed i18n macros around a bit to help differentiate out some of the lesser needed translation items. gettext po/pot file updates will be forthcoming.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@4132 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Finished up zipfile-style savestate implementation
* Simplified BaseSaveState class, and removed lots of now-unneeded code.
* Prepared the i18n stuff for a pcsx2_Dev.pot file (WIP), and sorted more stuff to pcsx2_Tertiary.pot.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxSavestates@4091 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Basic savestate loading/saving working now (needs testing).
* No support for screenshots embedded into the savestate (yet).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/wxSavestates@4043 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* SuperVU note: SuperVU recompiler now uses two separate 8mb caches for VU0 and VU1 (needed in order to simplify/saneify the reserve/alloc stages of pcsx2 app startup).
* Added MemsetFast.inl, which houses SSE intrinsic versions of memset and memzero, for use on aligned data targets.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/branches/newHostVM@3975 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Removed the hacky g_pVU1 pointer, which required VU1 cpu registers to be part of VU0. Replaced it with a standard VU1 variable (mimics all other CPU registers, which are standard static vars). We were using translation functions/tables for all VU0 memory operations anyway, so this was a no-brainer.
* Removed code from microVU that was only there to help deal with the fact that g_pVU1 was annoying.
* Turned eeMem->HW into a static global array eeHw [64k].
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3692 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Includes a minor tweak to DMAC.h - removed tDMA_TADR / tDMA_MADR / etc. and replaced them with a single tDMAC_ADDR class.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3644 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
I also re-implemented R5900 runtime exception handling for TLB Miss and such (devbuilds only, for now).

* Make the new MTGS register packet during vsync not upload 0xf0->0x100. This is technically GS internal register space that the GS plugin may update or modify as it processes GIFtags. Thus, PCSX2 shouldn't touch it.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3331 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added versioning info to savestates! (along with some other bugfixes)
* Simplified the Boot and System menus -- removed the old Skip BIOS hack and replaced it with the new BOOT2 injection method (which is considered hack-free at this time).
* Removed lots of UI deadlock gotchas.
* Some new confirmation dialogs and better error handling.
* Implemented an exclusive SysExecutor thread, which serves the purpose of executing system/VM commands and events in uninterrupted order (including suspend, resume, savestates, etc.)
* ... and probably broke linux!
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2911 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also
* Tons of small UI bugfixes and cosmetic improvements, mostly to startup, first-time running, and resetting options.
* Added a third startup option for specifying a custom "default location" for PCSX2 files, in addition to user docs and CWD.
Devs:
* Implemented some more += operators for adding wxWidgets objects to sizers (pxStretchSpacer mainly).
* Preliminary re-implementation of memory cards panels -- still non-functional, so it's disabled.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2671 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Fixed a savestate loading bug, when loading states made with different sets/versions of plugins.
DevNote:
* Moved some old PS2E types to PS2Edefs, since the new v2 plugin API won't use them (freezeData, keyEvent).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2380 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added support for indentation, as a replacement for using \t (options include methods SetIndent and Indent, and a ConsoleIndentScope class for scoped indentation of a block of WriteLns.)
* Use of Indent() as a modifier (the abstraction optionally allows use of indentation methods besides \t, if ever needed).
* Minor header file cleanups: wxWidgets standard headers are now always first in PrecompiledHeader.h files (is recommended due to cross platform setup code by wx).

Rationale: FromAscii should only be used on old-style DOS/ANSI character strings that use the upper 128 characters for drawing pictures or writing umlauts, which is pretty much nothing at all as far as PCSX2 is concerned. Chances are even the japanese console logs coming from the PS2 itself use UTF8.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2092 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Added more colors!
* VM's EE/IOP logs (the ones that come from the emulated games themselves) are colored accordingly: EE are faint cyan, IOP are faint yellow. They're intentionally "hard to read" because 99% of the time they're meaningless trivia (but still cool since it's what the actual devs would have used for developing the games!).
Dev Notes:
* Removed Console.Status (specify blue/green colors manually if you want them).
* Renamed Console.Notice to Console.Warning.
* I changed the overloads so that both char* and wxChar* versions work like printf now (no need to use wxsFormat when working with unicode strings). I also removed wxString& versions of the overloads. This should (I hope) also be an easier port to wx2.9 or 3.0, when that time comes.
* Default log color is now black instead of gray; typically you'll want to manually specify Color_Gray when doing high volume logging (like the EErec's block tracking in debug builds).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2091 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Fixed: More savestate slowness, and less savestate memory hogging.
SPU2-X: Fixed crash bug on using savestates while suspended.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1994 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Switched the SysCoreThread to a static (fully persistent) thread.
* Added some listeners for when the CoreThread status changes
* fixed some slowness in savestates, and the emu will now stall until savestates complete, if you try to exit too quick (avoids savestate corruption)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1993 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Completely new assertion macros: pxAssert, pxAssertMsg, and pxFail, pxAssertDev (both which default to using a message). These replace *all* wxASSERT, DevAssert, and jASSUME varieties of macros. New macros borrow the best of all assertion worlds: MSVCRT, wxASSERT, and AtlAssume. :)
* Rewrote the Console namespace as a structure called IConsoleWriter, and created several varieties of ConsoleWriters for handling different states of log and console availability (should help reduce overhead of console logging nicely).
* More improvements to the PersistentThread model, using safely interlocked "Do*" style callbacks for starting and cleaning up threads.
* Fixed console logs so that they're readable in Win32 notepad again (the log writer adds CRs to naked LFs).
* Added AppInit.cpp -- contains constructor, destructor, OnInit, and command line parsing mess.
