This implements MIOS's PPC bootstrapping functionality, which enables
users to start a GameCube game from the Wii System Menu.
Because we aren't doing Starlet LLE (and don't have a boot1), we can
just jump to MIOS when the emulated software does an ES_LAUNCH or uses
ioctlv 0x25 to launch BC.
Note that the process is more complex on a real Wii and goes through
several more steps before getting to MIOS:
* The System Menu detects a GameCube disc and launches BC (1-100)
instead of the game. [Dolphin does this too.]
* BC, which is reportedly very similar to boot1, lowers the Hollywood
clock speed to the Flipper's and then launches boot2.
* boot2 sees the lowered clock speed and launches MIOS (1-101) instead
of the System Menu.
MIOS runs instead of IOS in GC mode and has an embedded GC IPL (which
is the code actually responsible for loading the disc game) and a PPC
bootstrap code. To get things working properly, we simply need to load
both to memory, then jump to the bootstrap code at 0x3400.
Obviously, because of the way this works, a real MIOS is required.
Some minor changes to make things slightly less confusing:
* Reinit doesn't actually init anything. It just adds static devices to
the map, so let's give it an actually descriptive name. And let's not
expose it in the header when it should not be.
* Reset's parameter name was changed from "force" -- which totally does
not describe what it does -- to "clear_devices".
* Add a reload function which handles the reload process properly
(reset all devices, set up memory values, re-add devices) and
without publicly exposing implementation details.
Splits DVD reads up into smaller chunks so that data is available
before the final interrupt is triggered. This better simulates the DMA
that happens on a real device, which some games will take advantage of -
by either playing back data as it is loading or by using data that is
going to be overwritten shortly by an outstanding read.
This fixes savestates when using Bluetooth passthrough by keeping track
of pending transfer commands and discarding them on state load, so that
the emulated software receives a reply to IOS requests as expected.
With this change, savestates in BT passthrough should work as long as
no Wiimote is connected when creating the savestate and when
restoring it. Yes, I know this is an important limitation -- but
that is probably the best we can do, and it's still better than
completely broken savestates.
Makes it more obvious which data is going into the savestate.
It also allows PowerPCState and InstructionCache to potentially
contain members that don't necessarily need to be saved to the save state.
It also gets rid of any potential padding data being put into the save
state.
is_hardware is an obscure name (what does hardware mean?) and it forces
us to assume that anything that !is_hardware is a FileIO device. This
assumption prevents properly restoring OH0 child devices (which will be
implemented in the USB PR), so this commit replaces the is_hardware
bool with a device type.
Confirmed by a hardware test and a quick diassembly of /dev/es.
I'm not aware of anything that opens several ES handles, but
technically, this fixes a small inaccuracy in IOS HLE.
We don't really have to keep track of device opens/closes manually,
since we can already check that by calling IsOpened() on the device.
This also replaces some loops with for range loops.
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.
This adds the ability to passthrough a whole Bluetooth adapter and skip
the majority of the Bluetooth emulation code. We use libusb to send HCI
commands, receive HCI events and transfer ACL data directly to the
first adapter that is found or to a specific adapter (if configured to)
This is possible because the Wii's Bluetooth module is actually just
a pretty standard Bluetooth adapter…
…except for two vendor-specific commands, for which replies are faked,
and also for the sync button. This adds a hotkey that works in the
exact same way as the sync button would on a Wii: it triggers an HCI
event, which emulated software interpret as a command to perform
a BT inquiry.
This commit also changes the UI code to expose passthrough mode
and WII_IPC_HLE to be a bit more thread safe (for the device map).
Because of the way this works, randomly overwriting the handler
when loading a savestate will break things because of the
self-modifying nature of the handler.
The min-heap provides no ordering when the key is the same on 2
nodes. Disambiguate identical times by tracking the order items
were added into the queue.
Now that our timings are much more accurate it doesn't look like we
need it anymore. And the instant ARAM DMA mode + scheduling fixes
ctually breaks ATV: Quad Power Racing 2 (causing all sorts of werid
bugs).
Replace adhoc linked list with a priority heap. Performance
characteristics are mostly the same, but is more cache friendly.
[Priority Queues have O(log n) push/pop compared to the linked
list's O(n) push/O(1) pop but the queue is not big enough for
that to matter, so linear is faster over linked. Very slight gains
when framelimit is unlimited (Wind Waker), 1900% -> 1950%]
OSD messages other than these one and a half aren't translated,
and OSD only supports ASCII. (Also, that "Wiimote %i %s" uses %s
like it does is bad for translation, but that's easy to fix.)
bool is not always guaranteed to be the same size on every platform.
On some platforms it may be one byte, on others it can be 8 bytes if the
platform dictates it. It's implementation-defined.
This can be problematic when it comes to storing this
data to disk (it can also be space-inefficient, but that's not really an
issue). Also say for some reason you moved your savestates to another
platform, it's possible they won't load correctly due to differences in size.
This change stores all bools to savestates as if they were a byte in size
and handles the loading of them accordingly.
