Starting with PR 7411, the rest of Dolphin reads the game ID from
PARTITION_NONE, but SetRunningGameMetadata was still reading from
the game partition. https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11422
This is accomplished by having SConfig::GetDirectoryForRegion no longer
return nullptr, as doing that was kind silly, considering we never
check for nullptr.
This option completely disabled the DCBZ instruction. Users are toggling
this option in dolphin forks and using that same problematic config when
launching dolphin. Removing the option from dolphin will let the config be
ignored.
This adds the functionality of sending the host's save data (raw memory
cards, as well as GCI files and Wii saves with a matching GameID) to
all other clients. The data is compressed using LZO1X to greatly reduce
its size while keeping compression/decompression fast. Save
synchronization is enabled by default, and toggleable with a checkbox
in the NetPlay dialog.
On clicking start, if the option is enabled, game boot will be delayed
until all players have received the save data sent by the host. If any
player fails to receive it properly, boot will be cancelled to prevent
desyncs.
We don't want to write this setting to disk, as SConfig has problems
with leaking settings changed by GameINI into the base configs. The
result of this is that if someone plays an N64 VC game (or other game
where we disable this setting) the branch following option can get
unintentionally disabled globally, which will reduce performance in
many games and cause NetPlay to desync with users who still have it
enabled.
Makes the enum values strongly-typed and prevents the identifiers from
polluting the PowerPC namespace. This also cleans up the parameters of
some functions where we were accepting an ambiguous int type and
expecting the correct values to be passed in.
Now those parameters accept a PowerPC::CPUCore type only, making it
immediately obvious which values should be passed in. It also turns out
we were storing these core types into other structures as plain ints,
which have also been corrected.
As this type is used directly with the configuration code, we need to
provide our own overloaded insertion (<<) and extraction (>>) operators
in order to make it compatible with it. These are fairly trivial to
implement, so there's no issue here.
A minor adjustment to TryParse() was required, as our generic function
was doing the following:
N tmp = 0;
which is problematic, as custom types may not be able to have that
assignment performed (e.g. strongly-typed enums), so we change this to:
N tmp;
which is sufficient, as the value is attempted to be initialized
immediately under that statement.
This ports the Wii filesystem root, Wii SD card path and dump path
settings to the new config system (OnionConfig).
My initial plan was to wait until DolphinWX was removed before porting
most of the Main (Core, DSP, General) settings to onion config, but
I've decided to submit a small part of those changes to fix
[issue 10566](https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10566).
Removes the need to manually set the FileUtil path in the UI frontends
and gets rid of some more members that don't really belong in SConfig.
Also fixes a bug which would cause the dump path not to get created
after change.
Qt introduced a checkbox to toggle the debugger UI, this makes it work into a setting stored in the INI, it also makes the -d argument only in effect when enabled, in such case, it will override the INI by overriding it.
The AutoUpdate module is a generic update checker mechanism which can be
used by UI backends to trigger an auto-update check as well as the
actual update process.
Currently only configurable through .ini and the Qt implementation is
completely placeholder-y -- blocking the main thread on a network
request on startup, etc.
This prevents Dolphin from crashing when the emulated software crashes.
AFAIK, there is absolutely no performance to enabling this with the
x64 JIT.
Eventually, we should probably just remove bMMU
(https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/1831). We can't do that
yet because of the ARM JIT.
Nowadays that Dolphin detects regions of discs properly and doesn't
force programs with unknown regions (such as homebrew) into running
under a certain region, the "Force Console as NTSC-J" option is
practically useless for making anything run correctly. Enabling it
is however an easy way to totally break many non-Japanese games.
This removes the hack that enables directly booting from WADs
without installing them first for the following reasons:
1. It makes the NAND content handling much more complicated than what
it should be and makes future changes like permissions or booting
NAND titles without a WAD more annoying to implement.
Because of this hack, we needed an extra level of abstraction
(NANDContent*) which has to read tons of things from the NAND, even
most of the time it's useless. This in turn forces us to have
caching, which is known to break titles and requires manual cache
invalidations. Annoying and error prone.
2. It prevents the WAD boot code from being easily accurate. With this
change, we can simply reuse the existing launch code, and ask IOS
to launch the title from the NAND.
3. The hack did not work that well since it did not cover a lot of ES
commands. And it works even less since the ES accuracy fixes.
This results in Dolphin returning inconsistent results: a
lot of the ES "DI" commands will just fail because the active title
is not installed on the NAND. uid.sys is not changed, etc.
And I'm not even talking about FS stuff -- where this would still
totally fail, unless we add even more unnecessary hacks.
This is not just theoretical -- the system menu and the Wii Shop are
known to behave strangely because the hack damages the NAND
structure, and we've already had several users report issues.
This commit makes it so WADs are always installed prior to launching.
A future commit will remove any code that was there only for the hack.
Since we don't want users to have to configure the region manually
and always enforce one automatically, we should fall back to a region
that was likely to be chosen by the user instead of always using
PAL whenever the title region cannot be detected.
Dolphin doesn't mess with installed NAND titles like the system menu,
so it is a reliable indicator of what region the user wants.
Settings that come from the SYSCONF are now included in Dolphin's
config system as part of the base layer. They are handled in a
special way compared to other settings to make sure they are only
loaded from and saved to the SYSCONF (to avoid different, possibly
contradicting sources of truth).
There are some cases where overriding the opening.bnr names
isn't desirable, such as when someone has several modded
versions of a game that differ in names but not game IDs.
Changes:
- `ShowDevelopmentWarning` is now under the '[Interface]' group in
Dolphin.ini, with other interface-related settings. So, whoever uses
DolphinQt will have to edit that manually again. Sorry!
- Game search paths and the last file are now shared properly with
DolphinWX
- Qt-only preferences like "Preferred View: list/table" are now
stored using the platform's native settings storage, rather than in
UI.ini
Before these changes each value of latency were actually 5ms, with a
minimum latency of ~10 ms. If it was set to 4 ms on the UI, the actual
latency was 10 + 5 * 4 = 30 ms.
Now 30 ms on the UI means 30 ms on the backend.
This rewrites the SysConf code for several reasons:
* Modernising the SysConf class. The naming was entirely cleaned up.
constexpr for constants.
* Exposing less stuff in the header.
* Probably less efficient parsing and writing logic, but much simpler
to understand and use in my opinion. No more hardcoded offsets.
No more duplicated code for the initial SYSCONF generation.
* More flexibility. It is now possible to add and remove entries,
since we rebuild the file. This allows us to stop spamming
"section not found" panic alerts; we can now use and insert
default entries.
Will be used from several functions to verify the signatures for
different containers (TMDs, tickets, device signed blobs).
An option was added to disable signature checks, because that could be
useful for people trying to import unsigned stuff.
