- Core info cache can now be enabled/disabled on all platforms via a new `Settings > Core > Cache Core Info Files` option
- Core info cache file has been renamed from `.cache` to `core_info.cache` (i.e. it is no longer a 'hidden' file on Unix platforms, so can be deleted easily)
- The core info cache file is now compressed (rzip) to further reduce disk IO
- The presence of a `core_info.refresh` file in the core info directory will force a one-time refresh of the info cache. This file is generated automatically when toggling on the `Cache Core Info Files` option, and we will also add it to core info file packaging such that updating info files (either manually or via the online updater) will force a refresh
- The core info cache no longer contains 'core is locked' and 'firmware missing' data fields; these are 'dynamic' properties that must be determined at runtime
- The 'core is locked' status is now determined on core info intialisation by parsing the core directory listing, rather than by performing indivdual 'lock file exists' checks. This minimises file IO, and greatly improves performance on devices with slow storage
- While parsing the core info cache file, we now avoid unnecessary `strdup()`s when adding entries to the resultant cache list
- Memory leaks (potential and real) have been fixed, and safety checks added
- Build errors have been fixed
This adds new entry under Settings -> Services (where all Lakka related
services are currently available, such as switches for services like
SSH, Samba, etc.). By adding this the users do not have to use the
command line / access the file system directly to change their local
time zone to adjust the date/time displayed in RetroArch.
So far, if display is scaled, overlays gets correctly drawn but touch
input is not correctly scaled, resulting in an unusable overlay.
This happens for touches in menu too.
This commit aims to introduce this scaling factor adding it to the
config file, eg:
input_touch_scale = "2"
This also allows WiFi passwords to be remembered. The underlying
tool (connman) allows to store passswords (that's why it auto connects
whenever you boot a Lakka device), so we expose this so that the user
does not have to re-input the pass when connecting to a saved wifi.
Option to forget a password to come in a future PR, for now a password
is automatically forgotten if the Wifi connect operation fails (we assume
it fails due to password).
Changes the WiFi API to enable these features of course!
This sets the ground for more PRs to come. Clean up how scanning and listing
SSID works, and adds attributes to the newtworks.
Frontend will be able to know which networks are "remembered" and thus
require no password to re-connect.
For now scans are performed every 2 minutes or on demand if no networks found
(either for real or in the "cache").
As some issues indicate (#6195#10471#11008#6861) there's an issue with
the autoincrement save slot feature: slot index will increase and very old
saves won't be deleted.
This commit adds support to delete old save states with a user defined
save state limit (global). Instead of wrapping around the slot counter
it will simply delete the oldest save, since it is simpler.
For now there's a limit of one deletion per save, which ensures a user
cannot delete many saves by accident if they set the limit too low.
BFI support added for 180hz / 240hz / etc. Solves issue with image retention from voltage issues at 120hz BFI. Also disabled BFI while in menu, as if set to an incorrect value for the current refresh rate, could cause severe flickering and difficulty reverting to the correct value.
