Description

This is meant to act as a new global issue for Gecko Codes behaving badly.

Dolphin's implementation of Gecko Codes is problematic, causing tons of random crashes and freezes across many games. Codes designed to work on Dolphin may not work on console, and many codes designed for console don't work on Dolphin. We're seeing game freezes across GameCube and Wii titles, from Pokemon Colosseum to Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. These freezes are random and are not very apparent to the users that the cheats caused them. Sometimes it can take hours for the code to cause issues. Other games like Arc Rise Fantasia see breakage over seemingly unrelated changes, where as Wiiware/Virtual console never worked at all.

Dolphin's Hooking needs to be completely redone in order to fix these issues.
