Allows callers to std::move strings into the functions (or automatically
assume the move constructor/move assignment operator for rvalue
references, potentially avoiding copies altogether.
Continues the migration over to using fmt. Given fmt is also compatible
with std::string and std::string_view, we can convert some parameters
over to std::string_view, such as the message parameter for
StopMessage() and the name parameter for an overload of SaveScreenShot()
This was in DolphinWX but not DolphinQt. It's useful for telling if
users who post screenshots have an up-to-date version of Dolphin.
The old implementation of this prepended the version in DolphinWX code
rather than Core code, but I thought it'd be simpler to do it in Core.
MemoryWatcher only works on Linux and affects emulation determinism due
to scheduling additional events, which causes NetPlay to desync.
Considering that this interface is a rather specialized use case, the
communication with it is kinda crappy *and* it's affecting emulation, I
think it's best to just axe it and come up with a better implementation
of the functionality.
Small addition of NetPlay code in Core.cpp was needed to set the
extensions at the right time, as init would override them otherwise.
This solution is more elegant than modifying the user's INI files on
game start.
Previously, the Qt frontend would initialize the controller
interface on starting, resulting in the cursor position being
relative to the main window, instead of the render window.
Previously there was only one function under the NetPlay namespace,
which is kind of silly considering we have all of these other types
and functions existing outside of the namespace.
This moves the rest of them into the namespace.
This gets some general names, like Player, for example, out of the global namespace.
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.
Switching to blank NAND when emulation is running is an extremely bad
idea. It's akin to opening up a Wii and replacing the NAND chip while
you're playing a game on it.
Except we're not even replacing it with a NAND that has the same
contents. The blank NAND has nothing in it except the save file for
the current game, which is likely to result in the emulated software
getting inconsistent results and possibly even crashing depending on
how it caches title information.
An example of games that check the saves for other games is
Mario Kart Wii -- it checks the filesystem for Super Mario Galaxy saves
to decide whether to unlock characters. With this 'switch NAND
while emulation is active' misfeature, this will likely break.
And that's the main problem: it encourages sloppy emulation and no one
really knows how many things it can break.
Just don't let the user do horrible things like that during emulation.
If they want to use a blank NAND, they can do so by starting input
recording before launching a game. It's likely they will want to do
this if they plan to share their DTM anyway.
Given this is actually a part of the Host interface, this should be
placed with it.
While we're at it, turn it into an enum class so that we don't dump its
contained values into the surrounding scope. We can also make
Host_Message take the enum type itself directly instead of taking a
general int value.
After this, it'll be trivial to divide out the rest of Common.h and
remove the header from the repository entirely
Initialising Wii filesystem contents should be done after Boot and
not in HW to ensure that we operate with the correct title context
and to make sure required title directories exist (so that Movie and
Netplay code can copy data from and to the temporary NAND).
