This regressed in 0300b44d23b149a0b93dd0aa2e77d20a02882ddf. Specifically, the sliders and the stick/IR widgets did not update, but the spin boxes did update.
Will manually controlling both an accelerometer and a gyroscope at the
same time be reasonable to do? No idea. Was this easy to implement
thanks to the input override system? Yes.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12443.
In UpdateInput, lock m_devices_population_mutex before m_devices_mutex
to be consistent with other ControllerInterface functions. Normally the
former lock isn't needed in UpdateInput, but when a Wii Remote
disconnects it calls RemoveDevice which results in the mutexes being
locked in the wrong order.
This gets rid of a blocking operation, improving performance and fixing
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12893.
This also makes us no longer directly access the state of certain UI
elements from the CPU thread, which probably wasn't thread-safe but
doesn't seem to have caused any observable issues so far.
Up until now, there have been two settings on Android that stored the
selected Wii Remote extension: the normal one that's also used on PC,
and a SharedPreferences one that's used by the overlay controls to
determine what controls to show. It is possible for these two to end up
out of sync, and my input changes have made that more likely to happen.
To fix this, let's rework how the overlay controller setting works.
We don't want it to encode the currently selected Wii Remote extension.
However, we can't simply get rid of the setting, because for some Wii
games we need the ability to switch between a GameCube controller and a
Wii Remote. What this commit does is give the user the option to select
any of the 4 GameCube controllers and any of the 4 Wii Remotes. (Before,
controllers 2-4 weren't available in the overlay.) Could be useful for
things like the Psycho Mantis fight in Metal Gear Solid. I'm also
switching from SharedPreferences to Dolphin.ini while I'm at it.
It's missing a lot of features from the PC version for now, like
buttons for inserting functions and the ability to see what the
expression evaluates to. I mostly just wanted to get something in
place so you can set up rumble.
