This is a bit indirect, but since homebrew always boots in a European environment the framerate depends on the bPAL60 flag, which is always auto turned off if bNTSC is set to true as of 2e5e724f9401cb3dea28981a93b7467854f98dbb. By actually indicating that we're PAL on homebrew boot, the rest just falls into place.
The new implementation has 3 options:
SyncGpuMaxDistance
SyncGpuMinDistance
SyncGpuOverclock
The MaxDistance controlls how many CPU cycles the CPU is allowed to be in front
of the GPU. Too low values will slow down extremly, too high values are as
unsynchronized and half of the games will crash.
The -MinDistance (negative) set how many cycles the GPU is allowed to be in
front of the CPU. As we are used to emulate an infinitiv fast GPU, this may be
set to any high (negative) number.
The last parameter is to hack a faster (>1.0) or slower(<1.0) GPU. As we don't
emulate GPU timing very well (eg skip the timings of the pixel stage completely),
an overclock factor of ~0.5 is often much more accurate than 1.0
Eventually, netplay will be able to use the host's NAND, but this could
still be useful in some cases; for TAS it definitely makes sense to have
a way to avoid using any preexisting NAND.
In terms of implementation: remove D_WIIUSER_IDX, which was just WIIROOT
+ "/", as well as some other indices which are pointless to have as
separate variables rather than just using the actual path (fixed, since
they're actual Wii NAND paths) at the call site. Then split off
D_SESSION_WIIROOT_IDX, which can point to the dummy NAND directory, from
D_WIIROOT_IDX, which always points to the "real" one the user
configured.
This is available with the `GDBSocket` option in
`~/.dolphin-emu/Config/Dolphin.ini`.
GDB can connect to it with:
$ powerpc-eabi-gdb
(gdb) target remote |socat STDIO UNIX:foo.sock
Because I don't like so much binding the GDB stub socket to 0.0.0.0.
On Linux, with a suitable umask, we can make sure that another local
user cannot connect to the socket.
I'm not sure if Maker is the best name (Developer? Publisher?
Company? Copyright?) but I went with it because it's
what the game properties window uses. For the sake of
backwards compatibility, the INI option wasn't renamed.
With my previous changes Dolphin would fail to create the user directory if it didn't exist, and would dump all the configuration options in to the cwdir.
This was a bit more complicated to fix in a clean fashion, so I took to moving around code concerning user directories.
Instead of having GetUserPath serve a dual purpose of both getting and setting our user directories, break out to a new SetUserPath function.
GetUserPath will know only get the configured user path.
SetUserPath will set our user paths and setup the internal user path state.
This ending up being a lot cleaner overall, which is nice. Also less mind bending when attempting to read the code.
So now we won't dump all of our configuration in to the cwdir if ~/.dolphin-emu isn't found.
Fixes issue 8371.
When enabled, the silent option will avoid popping up dialog boxes for
overwrite confirmation or codec selection. The codec selection defaults to
uncompressed RGB.
This is required for FifoCI on Windows which needs to drive Dolphin from the
command line exclusively.
Won't work with all games, but provides a nice way to spend extra CPU to make
a variable framerate game faster (e.g. Spyro or The Last Story), or to make
a game use less CPU at the cost of a lower framerate (e.g. Rogue Leader).
This hack is there for quite a long time, and lots of games crashes if it's disabled.
But it's still a hack, so it shouldn't be enabled hard coded. This commit create a new
ini option for this hack which is enabled by default.
Maybe some games does still run very fine without this hack.
The libusb driver must be installed on the adapter (e.g. zadig can be used to install the driver in Windows). GameCube pad controllers are supported and will override the current input device assigned to the port. GameCube controller buttons are auto-configured and cannot be re-assigned. Rumble is supported. Hotplug is supported while playing a game. If a controller is unplugged from the adapter, Dolphin will fallback to using the host input device on that port. If a port on the adapter is unused, Dolphin will use the host input device for that port, allowing a mixture of host input devices and controllers connected to the adapter.
The adapter support can be disabled in the Controllers config if the OS driver is preferred (allowing the pad buttons to be reconfigured).
One adapter per system is supported.
* Added country flags for games from Netherlands and Spain
* Added separate category for Region Free games (Uses European flag as placeholder)
* Added missing country filter options in "show regions" menu
* Rearranged country filters for readability
* Incremented CACHE_REVISION
Also fixed various country filters not showing up as options in the "Show regions" menu.
