Adds NTSC-U, NTSC-J and NTSC-K support to the translator and runtime (#2).

How it works:

Each region's disc was linked separately, so every function and global lives at a different address in each one. The runtime's HLE stubs need those addresses.

Instead of keeping four sets of numbers, the runtime writes every guest address as its PAL address and treats it as a name. MKW_GADDR(803868A0) looks the name up in a per-region header (runtime/include/region/rmce01.h etc). For PAL the lookup returns the same number, so the PAL build doesn't change at all.

The headers are generated by tools/region/gen_region_headers.py, and it never guesses. If an address can't be proven for a region, the build fails instead of quietly using a wrong one.

Where the addresses come from:

  • code: mkw-sp's PAL-to-region tables (MIT, credited in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md), checked against each region's own main.dol/StaticR.rel. projects/mkwii-ntsc-*/MAP_REPORT.md lists every number and everything that didn't pass the check.
  • data: projects/mkwii-ntsc-u/data_addresses.txt is hand-built, each row carries the instruction that proves its address. The J and K tables are generated from it by tools/region/port_data_addresses.py.

The translator runs the same lookup before it scans runtime/src, and records the region in RuntimeConfig.h, so the translation and the runtime build always agree on which disc they're for. tools/region/README.md explains this in depth along with how Korea's version is weird compared to the others and is partially why I opted for this design.

Claude was heavily used to write and debug this PR under my guidance, I've manually reviewed each diff.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added Mario Kart Wii regional support for PAL, NTSC-U, NTSC-J, and NTSC-K. The change adds address-porting tools, generated mappings and headers, translator integration, and region-aware runtime address handling.

Changes

Mario Kart Wii region support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Region mapping tools and project data
tools/region/*, projects/mkwii-ntsc-*/*, .gitattributes, .gitignore, README.md, THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md
Added deterministic DOL/REL disassembly and address-porting tools, validation reports, regional project manifests, address tables, documentation, and generated-file markers.
Guest address translation and generated headers
translator/*, runtime/include/region/*
Added project-selected guest address tables, PAL-identity source rewriting, runtime configuration binding, and generated mappings for four regions.
Region-aware runtime address usage
runtime/include/*, runtime/src/*
Replaced fixed guest addresses and PAL-only identity values with MKW_GADDR, MKW_GUEST_FUNC, and region metadata across runtime subsystems.
Linux media monitoring
runtime/src/music_attenuation.cpp
Added Linux MPRIS polling through dynamically loaded D-Bus symbols and connected it to detached monitor startup.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 25cf3

The current PR still contains unresolved Linux runtime risks: music attenuation can remain disabled after a D-Bus disconnect, and DBus message handling depends on an unchecked platform-specific structure layout. Merge should wait for these issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Consider sharing the PowerPC decode constants with port_data_addresses.py.

D_FORM here omits opcodes 46 and 47 and includes 49, 51, 53, 55, 56, 57, 60 and 61. tools/region/port_data_addresses.py line 34 defines a different D_FORM set. Both files use the set for the same purpose: to decide whether an instruction carries an SDA displacement. The two sets disagree, so this tool can annotate a reference site that the porting tool refuses to decode, and the reverse.

simm decoding and the lis/addi(ori) pairing logic are also duplicated in three files (disasm.py, port_data_addresses.py, port_map.py). Extract the opcode sets and the address-forming helper into one module in tools/region/ and import it from all three.

…ther retail regions

Four plain-Python tools (standard library only) that produce everything a non-PAL
project needs from that region's own executables:

- port_map.py ports projects/mkwii/MAP.txt through the community PAL->E/J/K chunk
  tables (vendored from mkw-sp's port.py, MIT; recorded in THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md)
  and keeps only entries the target main.dol/StaticR.rel vouch for: call and
  relocation targets, exception-table records, function-pointer tables, or at
  least a terminator followed by a decodable first instruction. Every dropped or
  unverified entry is listed in the MAP_REPORT.md it writes. Output is
  deterministic.
- port_data_addresses.py re-derives the NTSC-J and NTSC-K addresses of every data
  global the runtime names from the hand-verified NTSC-U evidence table, by
  decoding the instruction at each ported reference site and checking it against
  the independent chunk-table port. A row it cannot establish is written out as
  UNRESOLVED rather than guessed.
- gen_region_headers.py scans the runtime for the PAL identities it names
  (MKW_GADDR / MKW_GUEST_FUNC) and writes runtime/include/region/<region>.h; an
  identity that cannot be resolved is an error.
- disasm.py disassembles a range of a region's DOL/REL with llvm-mc and annotates
  the address each r13/r2 access forms, for adding evidence rows.

README.md next to them documents the mechanism, the verdicts, and how to
regenerate. .gitignore keeps ignoring local scratch under tools/ but tracks
tools/region/.
projects/mkwii-ntsc-u, -j and -k mirror projects/mkwii with the facts that differ
per region: game ID, the small-data bases __init_registers installs, the
StaticR.rel load address, the clean-input digests, and the region header the
runtime resolves its guest addresses through (runtime.guest_address_table). Output
goes to generated/ like the PAL project, so the existing build pipeline applies
unchanged.

MAP.txt, MAP_REPORT.md and region_port.json are tools/region/port_map.py's output
for each region (29,409 / 29,429 / 29,439 entries; nothing is emitted that the
region's own binaries did not confirm).

data_addresses.txt lists every data global the runtime names. The NTSC-U table is
the hand-built source of truth: each row records the NTSC-U address and the
instruction(s) that reference it. The NTSC-J and NTSC-K tables are generated from
it by port_data_addresses.py (106 of 129 rows confirmed by disassembly, the rest
by the chunk table alone, none unresolved) and are not edited by hand.
…gion

The runtime's HLE names addresses inside the game executable: the functions it
replaces, the SDK globals it reads and writes. Those differ per region, and
writing them as offsets from r13/r2 does not help: the small-data blocks are not
laid out the same way in every region. RMCK01 keeps much of .sbss 0x20 lower than
PAL, so the PAL offsets the OS stubs used landed on unrelated globals there:
__OSInitSTM wrote its fake handles over OSDisableScheduler's nesting count (the
game hung in OS::Init), the ISFS bring-up wrote the filesystem state over
unrelated globals (the save-data check failed), the alarm stubs walked a string
table instead of OSAlarmQueue (a fault every frame), and OSSetPowerCallback kept
its state 0x20 away from where the game reads it.

Every guest address is now spelled as its PAL address and used as an identity:
MKW_GADDR(803868A0) expands to MKW_G_803868A0, which the region header defines as
that object's address in the executable being built; MKW_GUEST_FUNC does the same
for a translated function's symbol (runtime/include/region/guest_region.h). The
four headers are generated by tools/region/gen_region_headers.py from the
projects' tables. PAL's maps every identity to itself, so the PAL build compiles
to exactly the constants it did before. The region facts the HLE reports to the
game (game code, TV format, SC area / game region / product code, initial MEM1
arena) come from the same header as MKW_REGION_* instead of PAL literals.

The header in use is named by generated/RuntimeConfig.h (MKW_GUEST_REGION_HEADER,
written by the translator from the project's runtime.guest_address_table), so the
runtime always binds to the executable generated/ was translated from; a
RuntimeConfig.h without that line can only be PAL and gets rmcp01.h.

Two things this exposed beyond Korea: the EGG fog constants in .sdata2 sit 8 bytes
further from r2 in NTSC-U than in the other regions, so the hardcoded PAL offset
read 176.0 / 176.0 / 1.0 there instead of 0.0 / 0.99 / 0.5; and the three AX
DSPTaskInfo halfwords were read through hardcoded r13 offsets. All are named by
identity now; no r13/r2 address arithmetic is left in the HLE.

kDefaultEntryAddress stays a literal: __start is 0x800060A4 in every region, and
Launcher/Test-PinnedFacts.ps1 reads that line as one.
…e project's region table

The translator scans runtime/src for native registrations and reads the addresses
out of the source text. With the runtime spelling every guest address as a PAL
identity, that scan has to see the same addresses the compiler will produce.

A project now names its region header in runtime.guest_address_table. Before any
source scan, GuestAddressTable loads the header's MKW_G_ defines and rewrites the
address-carrying spellings (PPC_NATIVE_OVERRIDE, GX_FATAL_STUB, MKW_GADDR,
MKW_GUEST_FUNC) into the region's literals; a spelling it does not recognise fails
loudly rather than letting a PAL address through as this region's. The same path
is written into RuntimeConfig.h as MKW_GUEST_REGION_HEADER, which is how the
runtime picks its region header, so the translation and the runtime build cannot
disagree.

projects/mkwii names rmcp01.h, the identity table, so PAL goes through the same
code path and resolves to the addresses it always had. Projects without the field
(generic DOLs) are untouched.

Tests cover loading, resolution, every rewritten spelling, the loud failure, and
the RuntimeConfig.h line.
Setup still accepts only RMCP01; the FAQ says so and points at the region projects
and tools/region/README.md for the rest.
- gen_region_headers.py: propagate main()'s exit code, so an unresolved
  identity fails the process and not just the log.
- port_data_addresses.py: classify spans by their executable flag (DOL text
  section index, REL section-table bit 0) instead of an address threshold,
  so masked matching indexes REL text and can never index DOL data as
  instructions. Regenerating the J/K tables changes no row: no committed
  address came from the matcher.
- port_map.py: the SDA expectation and the bss note follow --region instead
  of hardcoding NTSC-U's values; the J/K reports now read "matches
  expectation" instead of flagging their own correct bases.
- riivolution.cpp: the fallback comment describes the region game code, not
  RMCP.

Recover the D-Bus connection after the session bus drops.

connection_set_exit_on_disconnect(conn, 0u) keeps the process alive when the session bus disappears. The poll loop then reuses the dead private connection forever, so ListNames fails on every later iteration. g_mediaControlAvailable stays false and music attenuation never works again until the process restarts. The bound connection_close and connection_unref symbols are never called, so the recovery path is missing.

Close and unref the connection after repeated query failures, then call bus_get_private again before the next poll.

so how much time will one need to wait before this makes it to the main branch? I have an NTSC-U gamesave that i wanna use but cant since the game only accepts PAL and pasting the save onthe the PAL literally ignores it and prompts you to create new save data. I wish i could help but i am bussy with work :/
