Given this is actually a part of the Host interface, this should be
placed with it.
While we're at it, turn it into an enum class so that we don't dump its
contained values into the surrounding scope. We can also make
Host_Message take the enum type itself directly instead of taking a
general int value.
After this, it'll be trivial to divide out the rest of Common.h and
remove the header from the repository entirely
Core::PauseAndLock requires all calls to it to be balanced, like this:
const bool was_unpaused = Core::PauseAndLock(true);
// do stuff on the CPU thread
Core::PauseAndLock(false, was_unpaused);
Aside from being a bit cumbersome, it turns out all callers really
don't need to know about was_unpaused at all. They just need to do
something on the CPU thread safely, including locking/unlocking.
So this commit replaces Core::PauseAndLock with a function that
makes both the purpose and the scope of what is being run on the
CPU thread visually clear. This makes it harder to accidentally run
something on the wrong thread, or forget the second call to
PauseAndLock to unpause, or forget that it needs to be passed
was_unpaused at the end.
We also don't need comments to indicate code X is being run on the
CPU thread anymore, as the function name makes it obvious.
* 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.
Some widescreen hacks (see below) properly force anamorphic output, but
don't make the last projection in a frame 16:9, so Dolphin doesn't
display it correctly.
This changes the heuristic code to assume a frame is anamorphic based on
the total number of vertex flushes in 4:3 and 16:9 projections that
frame. It also adds a bit of "aspect ratio inertia" by making it harder
to switch aspect ratios, which takes care of aspect ratio flickering
that some games / widescreen hacks would be susceptible with the new
logic.
I've tested this on SSX Tricky's native anamorphic support, Tom Clancy's
Splinter Cell (it stayed in 4:3 the whole time), and on the following
widescreen hacks for which the heuristic doesn't currently work:

This is only ever queried and not set outside of the Core.cpp, so this
should just be hidden internally and just have a function exposed that
allows querying it.
EndPlayInput runs on the CPU thread so it can't directly call
UpdateWantDeterminism. PlayController also tries to ChangeDisc
from the CPU Thread which is also invalid. It now just pauses
execution and posts a request to the Host to fix it instead.
The Core itself also did dodgy things like PauseAndLock-ing
from the CPU Thread and SetState from EmuThread which have been
removed.
Fix Frame Advance and FifoPlayer pause/unpause/stop.
CPU::EnableStepping is not atomic but is called from multiple threads
which races and leaves the system in a random state; also instruction
stepping was unstable, m_StepEvent had an almost random value because
of the dual purpose it served which could cause races where CPU::Run
would SingleStep when it was supposed to be sleeping.
FifoPlayer never FinishStateMove()d which was causing it to deadlock.
Rather than partially reimplementing CPU::Run, just use CPUCoreBase
and then call CPU::Run(). More DRY and less likely to have weird bugs
specific to the player (i.e the previous freezing on pause/stop).
Refactor PowerPC::state into CPU since it manages the state of the
CPU Thread which is controlled by CPU, not PowerPC. This simplifies
the architecture somewhat and eliminates races that can be caused by
calling PowerPC state functions directly instead of using CPU's
(because they bypassed the EnableStepping lock).
We don't throttle by frames, we throttle by coretiming speed.
So looking up VI for calculating the speed was just very wrong.
The new ini option is a float, 1.0f for fullspeed.
In the GUI, percentual values are used.
This addresses a bit of thread unsafety mentioned in a comment, and
fixes a 'ScheduleEvent_Threadsafe from main thread' message.
To make this work nicely, make PauseAndLock call DeclareAsCPUThread -
i.e. while you have the CPU thread locked, you can consider yourself the
CPU thread.
Replaces them with forward declarations of used types, or removes them entirely if they aren't used at all. This also replaces certain Common headers with less inclusive ones (in terms of definitions they pull in).
Core::Shutdown was only called on app exit, yet the emu thread exits
whenever emulation stops; if you launched a new game it would just join
via the destructor when s_emu_thread was set to a new thread.
(Incidentally, the destructor also makes explicitly joining on app exit
rather pointless.)
Because the GUI thread wasn't waiting for the CPU thread to fully shut
down, Core::IsRunning would remain true briefly after CFrame::DoStop
which, given Dolphin's penchant for accessing variables belonging to
other threads, can only mean trouble... In my case, because the previous
commit caused UpdateGUI, which is called at the end of DoStop, to call
PauseAndLock, which checks IsRunning, pressing stop at the right time
would cause strange behavior.
It now affects the GPU determinism mode as well as some miscellaneous
things that were calling IsNetPlayRunning. Probably incomplete.
Notably, this can change while paused, if the user starts recording a
movie. The movie code appears to have been missing locking between
setting g_playMode and doing other things, which probably had a small
chance of causing crashes or even desynced movies; fix that with
PauseAndLock.
The next commit will add a hidden config variable to override GPU
determinism mode.
