While the code is namespaced out properly, the files weren't separated
into their own directory. This moves the files so that introducing a general
interface is easier in the future for supporting other architectures.
This enables shaders to be compiled while the game is starting, instead
of blocking startup. If a shader is needed before it is compiled,
emulation will block.
This saves us from having to call GetPath when the same file is being
read over and over. (GetPath is more expensive than GetOffset due to
it iterating through parts of the file system and creating strings.)
The original reason I wanted to do this was so that we can replace
the Android-specific code with this in the future, but of course,
just deduplicating between DolphinWX and DolphinQt2 is nice too.
Fixes:
- DolphinQt2 showing the wrong size for split WBFS disc images.
- DolphinQt2 being case sensitive when checking if a file is a DOL/ELF.
- DolphinQt2 not detecting when a Wii banner has become available
after the game list cache was created.
Removes:
- DolphinWX's ability to load PNGs as custom banners. But it was
already rather broken (see https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10365
and https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10366). The reason I removed
this was because PNG decoding relied on wx code and we don't have any
good non-wx/Qt code for loading PNG files right now (let's not use
SOIL), but we should be able to use libpng directly to implement PNG
loading in the future.
- DolphinQt2's ability to ignore a cached game if the last modified
time differs. We currently don't have a non-wx/Qt way to get the time.
This commit changes devices to always return IPCCommandResult rather
than just a return code for Open() and Close() in order to be able
to better emulate reply timing.
In hindsight, I should have considered we would want to emulate
timing when I cleaned up the device interface, but alas.
This rectifies that mistake.
The option is named DisableCopyToVRAM under the Hacks section in
GFX.ini. It is intentionally not exposed to the GUI, as users should not
need to use it under normal circumstances. The main use is debugging
issues in the EFB-to-RAM shaders.
- Smplification of graphics backend startup/shutdown.
- Don't send complete message until CPU is ready to execute.
- Remove redundant stop message.
- Remove OSD message with backend name.
