Description

Game Name?

Non-game-specific (discovered in development version of Metroid Prime's "Practice Mod")

Game ID? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Info tab)

N/A (GM8E01)

MD5 Hash? (right click the game in the game list, Properties, Verify tab, Verify Integrity button)

What's the problem? Describe what went wrong.

It appears that there is an inconsistency between the JIT and interpreter in Prime. It seems like it's probably a bug in the JIT, in this case.

The following two blocks of code function differently:

// This crashes, but only in a JIT. Does not crash in interpreter.
CrashAssert((!g.Initialized && !g.SettingsLoaded), "_file_name_", 4136);

// This passes in both JIT and interpreter
CrashAssert((!g.Initialized), "_file_name_", 4138);
CrashAssert((!g.SettingsLoaded), "_file_name_", 4139);

The symbolicated binary from the practice mod is attached; should be loaded at 807c1a78 in production. The code in question begins at 807c37a0 when loaded, or 0x1D28 in the file pre-relocation. A disassembly can be found below.

I have tried to step through to see which instruction it fails on, but it seems to jump right over my breakpoint with JIT enabled.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Unfortunately I haven't yet figured out how to reproduce it other than to run the development version of the practice mod, which I can't currently provide in a way that can be run outside of the development environment, due to it involving a modified boot.dol, which I can't legally redistribute. I can probably help somebody run the current version of the script which modifies the boot.dol to load the Mod.rel which I can redistribute.

Is the issue present in the latest development version? For future reference, please also write down the version number of the latest development version.

Tested in 14302, the latest development version at time this was written. Both aarch64 and x64 thru Rosetta on an M1 macbook are affected.

Is the issue present in the latest stable version?

aarch64 M1 is not present in stable. Dolphin stable does not support the way I run this in development so it's hard to say.

If the issue isn't present in the latest stable version, which is the first broken version?

Appears to be broken in all builds after M1 support was added. Appears to happen in x64 builds at least as old as 13178, 5 months ago. This is the oldest build I have that seems to function.

If your issue is a graphical issue, please attach screenshots and record a three frame fifolog of the issue if possible.

What are your PC specifications? (CPU, GPU, Operating System, more)

M1 Macbook Pro

Is there anything else that can help developers narrow down the issue? (e.g. logs, screenshots,
configuration files, savefiles, savestates)

I have attached the binary, in ELF format prior to being converted to .rel, and here is a partial disassembly of the code that seems to be failing:
