# The game's DVD read function writes 0x87654321 to the entire read buffer and 0x12345678 to the
7
# last 4 bytes. It then calls DVDReadAsync() and without waiting for the read to complete at all,
8
# it checks if the last 4 bytes are still 0x12345678. If they are, then the game fails.

#
10
# The check always passes on console because DVDReadAsync() -> issueCommand() calls
11
# DCInvalidateRange() (dcbi) on the read buffer.

13
# Dolphin cannot emulate this without an extremely significant performance hit.
