The MP4 libraries turn out to be the easiest place to hand a game Sony's own
code: libmp4.prx needs only sceAudiocodecInit and sceAudiocodecDecode from us
plus ordinary kernel calls, and mp4msv.prx - where the 41 functions libmp4
leans on live - imports nothing at all. So with a firmware dump present the
pair can be loaded for real and left to decode through our sceAudiocodec.
Adds DisableHLEFlags::sceMp4, which loads and starts both modules when the
game asks sceUtility for the MP4 module, and a --disable-hle bitmask so a
headless run can ask for this without a config file.
Two things had to be fixed to make it work at all:
- ModuleMgrForUser 0xD2FBC957 was unimplemented, and libmp4 calls it to get
the gp of each callback it is handed. Implemented as
sceKernelGetModuleGPByAddress.
- Headless forced every module to HLE unconditionally, which silently undid
the flag, and it did so before ApplyToConfig() had even parsed it.
Tested with Speedball 2 - Evolution, which uses sceMp4 for its music: the game
goes from 255645 calls into our stubs and 39 unresolved imports, to zero of
each and 1943 AAC frames decoded through sceAudiocodec.
