Normally, SI is polled at a rate defined by the game, and we have to send the pad state to other clients on every poll or else we'll desync. This can result in fairly high bandwidth usage, especially with multiple controllers, mostly due to UDP/IP overhead.
This change introduces an option to reduce the SI poll rate to once per frame, which may introduce up to one frame of additional latency, but will reduce bandwidth usage substantially, which is useful for users on very slow internet connections.
Polling SI less frequently than the game asked for did not seem to cause any problems in my testing, so this should be perfectly safe to do.
7f0834c9 moved the locations of the Real XFB (now XFB to RAM) and
Disabled XFB (now Immediate Mode) settings. There are programs
other than Dolphin that parse DTM headers, so this is not good.
Note that Immediate XFB actually is the inversion of Disabled XFB.
I hope that's not too much of a problem...
* Add missing Language setting loading/saving. This was added after the
original OnionConfig PR, which is why support for it was missing.
* Change MovieConfigLoader to reuse ConfigInfos. Less duplication.
* Extract MovieConfigLoader::Save into SaveToDTM. The DTM should use
the current config and not just the movie layer. This makes more
sense than just saving the movie layer, which may not always exist,
and also fixes a crash that would happen when creating a new
recording because the movie layer wouldn't exist in that case.
(Plus, having to get the loader from the layer and call ChangeDTM
on it manually is not very pretty.)
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).
* Move out boot parameters to a separate struct, which is not part
of SConfig/ConfigManager because there is no reason for it to
be there.
* Move out file name parsing and constructing the appropriate params
from paths to a separate function that does that, and only that.
* For every different boot type we support, add a proper struct with
only the required parameters, with descriptive names and use
std::variant to only store what we need.
* Clean up the bHLE_BS2 stuff which made no sense sometimes. Now
instead of using bHLE_BS2 for two different things, both for storing
the user config setting and as a runtime boot parameter,
we simply replace the Disc boot params with BootParameters::IPL.
* Const correctness so it's clear what can or cannot update the config.
* Drop unused parameters and unneeded checks.
* Make a few checks a lot more concise. (Looking at you, extension
checks for disc images.)
* Remove a mildly terrible workaround where we needed to pass an empty
string in order to boot the GC IPL without any game inserted.
(Not required anymore thanks to std::variant and std::optional.)
The motivation for this are multiple: cleaning up and being able to add
support for booting an installed NAND title. Without this change, it'd
be pretty much impossible to implement that.
Also, using std::visit with std::variant makes the compiler do
additional type checks: now we're guaranteed that the boot code will
handle all boot types and no invalid boot type will be possible.
Amends the TAS callbacks to internally store functions using
std::function instead of raw function pointers. This allows binding
extra contextual state via lambda functions, as well as keeping the
dialogs internal to the main frame (on top of being a more flexible
interface).
Movie basically just wants to get the title ID of
the initally booted game, so let's set the title ID in
ConfigManager at boot like we do with the regular game ID.
Aside from being cleaner, this should make the approach to
title IDs compatible with booting non-disc software (WADs).
DVDInterface shouldn't need to know anything about
the DTM format's 40-character limitation.
Also replacing "filename" in variable names with "path"
to make it clearer which variables contain the whole path
and which ones only contain the filename.
