This sends arbitrary packets in chunks to be reassembled at the other
end, allowing large data transfers to be speed-limited and interleaved
with other packets being sent. It also enables tracking the progress of
large data transfers.
Its usage was inconsistent, confusing, and buggy, so I opted to just
remove it entirely. It has been replaced with PadIndex for the
appropriate instances (mainly networking), and inappropriate usages
(where it was really just a player ID) have been replaced with the
PlayerId type. The definition of "no mapping" has been changed from -1
to 0 to match the defintion of "no player", as -1 (255 unsigned) is
actually a valid player ID.
The bugs never manifested because it only occurs with a full lobby of
255 players, at which point the last player's ID collides with the "no
mapping" definition and some undefined behavior occurs. Nevertheless, I
thought it best to fix it anyways as the usage of PadMapping was
confusing.
And use it for reporting games that rely on ICache emulation to some
degree. We know of a few but it would be interesting to get a more
exhaustive list from crowdsourcing.
This was an erronous change in 534db3b, Ra was previously loaded but was changed to not being loaded.
Why is loading necessary? Loading is necessary because when a memory exception occurs, the current
register values are flushed. This occurs before a new value is loaded into Ra, so the previous value
is required in Ra.
Adds a tickbox to the server's window to syncronize codes. Codes
are temporarily sent to each client and are used for the duration of the
session.
Saves the "sync codes" tickbox as per PR Netplay: Properly save hosting

Previously, the Qt frontend would initialize the controller
interface on starting, resulting in the cursor position being
relative to the main window, instead of the render window.
