These values were obtained by setting a breakpoint at a game's entry point, and then observing the register values with Dolphin's register widget.
There are other registers that aren't handled by this PR, including CR, XER, SRR0, SRR1, and "Int Mask" (as well as most of the GPRs). They could be added in a later PR if it turns out that their values matter, but probably most of them don't.
This fixes Datel titles booting with the IPL skipped (see https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8223), though when booted this way they are currently missing textures. Due to somewhat janky code, Datel overwrites the syscall interrupt handler and then immediately triggers it (with the `sc` instruction) before they restore the correct one. This works on real hardware due to icache, and also works in Dolphin when the IPL runs due to icache, but prior to this change `HID0.ICE` defaulted to 0 so icache was not enabled when the IPL was skipped.
DSPHLE::Initialize sets the halt and init bits to true (i.e. m_dsp_control.Hex starts as 0x804), which is reasonable behavior (this is the state the DSP will be in when starting a game from the IPL, as after `__OSStopAudioSystem` the control register is 0x804).
However, CMailHandler::m_halted defaults to false, and we only call CMailHandler::SetHalted in DSPHLE::DSP_WriteControlRegister when m_dsp_control.DSPHalt changes, so since DSPHalt defaults to true, if the first thing that happens is writing true to DSPHalt, we won't properly halt the mail handler.
Now, we call CMailHandler::SetHalted on startup. This fixes Datel titles when the IPL is skipped with DSP HLE (though this configuration only works once https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8223 is fixed).
This fixes booting Datel titles with DSPHLE (see https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12943). Datel messed up their DSP initialization code, so it only works by receiving a mail later on, but if halting isn't implemented then it receives the mail too early and hangs.
It's cleared whenever the uCode changes, so there's no reason to clear it in a destructor or during initialization.
I've also renamed it to ClearPending.
The # option means that 0x is prepended already, so the old code resulted in 0x0xDEADBEEF instead of the intended 0xDEADBEEF. WriteMailboxLow was already correct.
Before, both 1441 and 147f would disassemble as `lsr $acc0, #1`, when the second should be `lsr $acc0, #-1`, and both 14c1 and 14ff would be `asr $acc0, #1` when the second should be `asr $acc0, #-1`. I'm not entirely sure whether the minus signs actually make sense here, but this change is consistent with the assembler so that's an improvement at least.
devkitPro previously changed the formatting to not require negative signs for lsr and asr; this is probably something we should do in the future: https://github.com/devkitPro/gamecube-tools/commit/8a65c85c9b4748ed3dab3c0c85aeb0df95d58cfb
This fixes the HermesText and HermesBinary tests (HermesText already wrote `lsr $ACC0, #-5`, so this is consistent with what it used before.)
For instance, ending with 0x009e (which you can do with CW 0x009e) indicates a LRI $ac0.m instruction, but there is no immediate value to load, so before whatever garbage in memory existed after the end of the file was used.
The bounds-checking also previously assumed that IRAM or IROM was being used, both of which were exactly 0x1000 long.
