The idea of this code was to not unroll loops, but it was completely broken.
So we've unrolled all loops, but only up to the second iteration.
Honestly, a better check would test if we branch to code which is already in the compiling block. But this is out of scope for now.
But testing shows that this unrolling actually improve the performance. So instead of fixing this bug, this check can be dropped.
Most settings which affect determinism will now be synced on NetPlay.
Additionally, there's a strict sync mode which will sync various
enhancements to prevent desync in games that use EFB reads.
This also adds a check for all players having the IPL.bin file, and
doesn't load it for anyone if someone is missing it. This prevents
desyncs caused by mismatched system fonts.
Additionally, the NetPlay window was getting too wide with checkboxes,
so FlowLayout has been introduced to make the checkboxes take up
multiple rows dynamically. However, there's some minor vertical
centering issues I haven't been able to solve, but it's better than a
ridiculously wide window.
This is accomplished by having SConfig::GetDirectoryForRegion no longer
return nullptr, as doing that was kind silly, considering we never
check for nullptr.
Basically everything here was race conditions in Qt callbacks, so I changed the client/server instances to std::shared_ptr and added null checks. It checks that the object exists in the callback, and the shared_ptr ensures it doesn't get destroyed until we're done with it.
MD5 check would also cause a segfault if you quit without cancelling it first, which was pretty silly.
This option completely disabled the DCBZ instruction. Users are toggling
this option in dolphin forks and using that same problematic config when
launching dolphin. Removing the option from dolphin will let the config be
ignored.
This adds the functionality of sending the host's save data (raw memory
cards, as well as GCI files and Wii saves with a matching GameID) to
all other clients. The data is compressed using LZO1X to greatly reduce
its size while keeping compression/decompression fast. Save
synchronization is enabled by default, and toggleable with a checkbox
in the NetPlay dialog.
On clicking start, if the option is enabled, game boot will be delayed
until all players have received the save data sent by the host. If any
player fails to receive it properly, boot will be cancelled to prevent
desyncs.
We don't want to write this setting to disk, as SConfig has problems
with leaking settings changed by GameINI into the base configs. The
result of this is that if someone plays an N64 VC game (or other game
where we disable this setting) the branch following option can get
unintentionally disabled globally, which will reduce performance in
many games and cause NetPlay to desync with users who still have it
enabled.
Lessens the amount of files that have to be recompiled if
ConfigManager.h is modified. This also removes an indirect inclusion
within DolphinQt/Main.cpp.
This is only ever read from externally, so we can expose a getter that ensures that
immutability, while making the actual instance internal. Given the
filling out of these settings depends on packets received by the client
instance, it makes more sense to make it a part of the client itself.
This trims off one lingering global.
This stops clients randomly deadlocking when a spectator leaves, as the mappings construct is not thread-safe and should not be written while the game is running.
This packet is only used by the host to detect desyncs, and we don't really need to know the exact frame we desynced on (unless you're debugging, but you can just recompile for that), so it's perfectly fine to just send it less often. This makes it so the timebase packet is sent only every 60 frames, rather than every frame, which further cuts back on unnecessary bandwidth consumption.
define how many frames constitute a high or a low swing/shake when the
button is down. Also configurable is the number of frames to execute
the swing/shake after the button is released.
Previously there was only one function under the NetPlay namespace,
which is kind of silly considering we have all of these other types
and functions existing outside of the namespace.
This moves the rest of them into the namespace.
This gets some general names, like Player, for example, out of the global namespace.
