- loading the control data is ran on its own thread, it does not block the main thread. allows for smooth scrolling like nintendos home menu.
- on fw20+, sphaira manually parses the control data, rather than using ns. manually parsing takes 20-40ms, which is faster than ms which can take 50-500ms.
- on fw19 and below, if the control data is not in ns cache, sphaira will manually parse the data as its twice as fast as ns. You can see how fast this is by loading the gamecard menu as that manually parses everything, and it loads the gamecard faster than the home menu
allows the user to enable installs for one config and disable it for the other.
by default, it will load the install option found in the config, if found.
otherwise, it will load from the new config option.
getting the list of title_ids is very fast (less than 1ms), however parsing the control info, such as title names
is very slow.
depending on how many games the user has, blocking until we read all control info can take several seconds...
we would only need to block if the user wants to sort by name.
normally, we lazy load the control data, so we don't suffer from slow load times at all.
i decided that its not worth slowing the whole system down just to give the option to sort by name.
some other changes:
- shorten the next page and prev page to just next/prev in themezer.
- remove misc shortcut name. the function itself still exists.
this crash was found by @WE1ZARD.
to trigger it, press L2 in the filebrowser whilst a hidden file exists and the hide hidden is enabled.
the was due to GetEntry(i) internally using m_entries_current, and the select all was using the index from m_entries_current.
this would result in an index that goes oob, and as its a write, it crashes.
Commit changes to language file (de.json), with many improvements and corrections.
The changes include:
- Modification and correction of existing translations for greater clarity and accuracy.
- Updated translations to match the terminology for homebrew and Nintendo Switch UI elements.
- Added new 'de' translation for the “ 12h time format” setting function.
this is already handled by the gpu, but cpu side still has to do some work.
this wasn't a performance issue (we only use 4%) but its a free win, so we might as well.
curl/libcurl does not send Accept-Encoding by default.
many servers support sending compressed versions of files, to speed up transfers.
this is ideal for the switch as its io is shit, but the cpu is mostly idle (4% cpu usage for sphaira).
github and appstore support sending gzip json files, themezer doesn't seem to.
the web browser on the switch is really bad, it shouldnt be used.
i am removing this menu because its another option that gets in the way of other options, and code bloat.
i added the irs menu when i wanted to mess around with the sensor on the joycon.
since then, i have used it a total of 0 times, and i don't think any users use it either.
