Currently, `g_controller_interface` is initialized and shut down by each
of `GCKeyboard`, `GCPad`, `Wiimote`, and `HotkeyManager`.
This 1) is weird conceptually, because it necessitates passing a pointer
to the native window to each of those classes, which don't need it, and
2) can cause issues when controller backends are initialized or shutdown
multiple times in succession.
For Wii graceful shutdown to work, the emulated software has to open
the STM event hook and install a hook. Without this, there is no way
to inform them about the shutdown, so trying to do a graceful shutdown
and requiring the use of the shutdown fallback (exiting a second time
to force) is pointless.
s_dvd_thread_done_working makes the logic more complicated,
and degasus pointed out a race condition that can happen if
the CPU thread calls WaitForIdle right in between the DVD
thread executing done_working.Set() and done_working.Reset()
while there is work left to do. To avoid this, let's just get
rid of s_dvd_thread_done_working. It's a relic from the old
DVDThread design. Thanks to the last few commits, WaitUntilIdle
only gets called rarely (disc change and savestate), so it's
not a problem if WaitUntilIdle ends up being slower.
This is a preparation for adding a queue to DVDThread.
Currently, s_read_request and s_read_result act somewhat like
queues that only can contain one object.
Unless I'm misreading the code, it doesn't look like this serves any
purpose, and is only polluting the logs.
_Unimplemented_Device_ looked like a device name that was picked to
be used somewhere else in Dolphin, but this doesn't seem to be the case
since 2012 (d95e31a removed the only other usage of this fake device).
4319 made Dolphin not read/write directly to the SYSCONF and read
settings from the SYSCONF at boot, and only write Dolphin settings
to the SYSCONF at emulation startup.
However, this also made it a bit confusing, because if settings were
changed, then Dolphin was exited without starting a game in between,
the settings wouldn't actually get persisted. This is fixed by
syncing Dolphin settings with the SYSCONF when Dolphin exits.
Instead of directly reading/storing settings from/to the SYSCONF, we
now store Wii settings to Dolphin's own configuration, and apply them
on boot. This prevents issues with settings not being saved, being
overridden and lost (if the user opens a dialog that writes to the
SYSCONF while a game is running).
This also fixes restoring settings from the config cache after a
graceful shutdown; for some reason, settings were only restored
after a normal shutdown.
Fixes issue 9825 and 9826
Using u8 as indexers is kind of silly, since the rest of the public API
essentially uses int for this sort of thing. Changing these to int also
gets rid of quite a few implicit truncations.
This also allows for getting rid of similar silliness in the netplay API.
There's no official implementation of the Vulkan API,
and Dolphin currently isn't set-up to work with the
single, commercially-available third-party implementation.
