Writing to 0x60 does actually not "init exception[s]" or anything like
that. Not at all. Rather, it *breaks* a check in Nintendo's SDK, which
makes it fail to realise that the hook hasn't been set up.
This prevents the SDK initialisation routines from writing the rest of
the hook instructions (total: 0x20 bytes), which in turn causes an
anti-piracy check to fail in some Ubisoft games (including Tintin).
Dolphin can be really amazing sometimes.
No clue where people got the 0 value from, or why it's labelled as
"time". As far as I can tell, it is always set to 0xffffffff by
official NAND titles, including the system menu.
It's not specific to WADs. The BS2 emulation boot code will also need
to update the state file.
Move the struct to Boot and add a helper function that will handle
reading + computing the checksum + writing the state file.
This lets VolumeDirectory/DirectoryBlob skip implementing
various volume functions like GetGameID, GetBanner, etc.
It also lets us view extracted discs in the game list.
This ends up breaking the boot process for Wii
DirectoryBlobs due to workarounds being removed from the
boot process, but that will be fixed later by adding
proper DirectoryBlob support for things like TMDs.
We now expect the directories to be laid out in a certain
format (based on the format that WIT uses) instead of requiring
the user to set the DVD root and apploader path settings.
The old approach to detecting DOL/ELF files doesn't fit
with the new way of implementing extracted discs.
The game list is already doing it in a way that's similar
to the approach that this commit uses.
The Config::AddLoadLayer functions call Load on the layer
explicitly, but Load is already called in the constructor,
so they'd cause the loader's Load function to be called twice,
which is potentially expensive considering we have to read an INI
from the host filesystem.
This commit removes the Config::AddLoadLayer functions because
they don't appear to be necessary.
This was mainly included for debugging, but could end up being confusing
for users, as well as polluting the GL program cache with a mix of uber
and specialized shaders if the option was changed.
