If cores are not deterministic, or if they only have bounded
determinism, we can obtain less drift if replay files also contain
periodic checkpoint states. These are configured by the new retroarch
stting replay_checkpoint_interval (measured in seconds). States are
inserted into the replay file in between frames.
This patch also fixes the settings display for the replay
autoincrement max keep setting.
* Add bsv replay controls (not yet fully implemented), remove toggle
see notes in task_movie.c, make sure command.c calls the right
functions, check retroarch.c and other todos.
bsv files are also now stored with states, not saves.
* Compilation fixes
* Added command impls for play and record replay, and some code in load state to do the right thing there
* Guard some parts of the new code with HAVE_BSV_MOVIE
* wip, menu fixes
* more menu fixes, osd for movie errors, halt recording properly
* Menu and label fixes
* move bsvs to own file suffix series under savestates, fix recording and playback command validity checks
* Fix replay autoincrement
* fix endif placement, whoops

ever implemented for OpenGL2 driver, lots of code debt, best to
instead just keep improving the overlay system instead which is
already available for most video drivers
The initial popup screen advertising the web server did not prevent
keys from passing through, so interactions with the alert would also
be handled by the menu. The alert would pop up any time there was a
network reconfiguration; now it only pops up once per run. Added a way
to turn off the webserver advertisement alert permanently.
Also fixed a bug around filtering the Siri remote out, and turning
controllers off while the app is running.
This adds mFI as a controller driver for OSX, as well as adding rumble
support for mFI controllers. Also add support for the Home button.
Also fixed a couple warnings.
* remove var error in psl1ght input
* (psl1ght) add modern_alpha_blend and modern_opaque rsx shaders
* (psl1ght) add perf improvements to the rsx driver
* add rsx gfx for psl1ght
* (psl1ght) set rsx as a compatible video driver
* Do xmb menu scaling for psl1ght
* (psl1ght) update Makefile to use latest shaders and more UI menu options
- 'Unlocks/Mastery' split into two options
- 'Account/Login Messages' split off from 'Verbose', gated all login success/error messages
- menu_cbs_sublabel.c - Now in same order as menu options
- menu_setting.c - VISIBILITY_UNLOCK default value now uses define
- All suggested text/cleanup changes from Jamiras
- Startup Summary split off from Verbose Mode, added option to hide for games with zero core cheevos
- Some existing options moved into this submenu
- Leaderboard-related options coming in future PR
When running on Android, RetroArch considers most devices that emit dpad events as gamepads, even if they also emit other keyboard events; this is usually the right thing to do, but it has the side effect of not letting some actual keyboards (e.g.: Logitech K480) act as such inside RetroArch. This configuration option allows users to manually select a specific input device to act as a physical keyboard instead of a gamepad, which is handy when emulating computers as opposed to consoles.
using roughly the same implementation for the ok/notice/cancel sounds, but i've made an exclusive function for scrolling since it's going to be called a lot more than those sounds
* Allow repositioning of achievement notifications
* PS4/ORBIS build fix
Would have thought cheevos-related notification code was wrapped in HAVE_CHEEVOS, but guess not.
* Add xdelta in deps
* Include <assert.h> in xdelta3.h
- Otherwise the static_assert calls can fail
* Build xdelta3 in Makefile.common
* Add xdelta support to the softpatching infrastructure
- The patching itself isn't fully implemented yet
* Adjust how xdelta3.h checks the sizes of some types
- Now checks max values instead of relying on autotools
* First crack at xdelta softpatching support
- There may be undiscovered edge cases or bugs
* Add xdelta in deps
* Include <assert.h> in xdelta3.h
- Otherwise the static_assert calls can fail
* Build xdelta3 in Makefile.common
* Add xdelta support to the softpatching infrastructure
- The patching itself isn't fully implemented yet
* Adjust how xdelta3.h checks the sizes of some types
- Now checks max values instead of relying on autotools
* First crack at xdelta softpatching support
- There may be undiscovered edge cases or bugs
* Remove trailing commas from the enums I modified
- C89 doesn't allow them
* Remove stray whitespace
* Adjust SIZE macros in xdelta3.h
- Move them outside the XD3_USE_LARGEFILE64 block
- Add more SIZE declarations
- Make SIZEOF_UNSIGNED_LONG_LONG contingent on the presence of ULLONG_MAX
* Add some RARCH_DBG calls for xdelta patching
* Enable support for xdelta's secondary compressors
- Necessary for some patches
* Fix some format specifiers
* Remove unnecessary files from xdelta
* Include xdelta3.h with a relative path
* Add xdelta3 headers to HEADERS variable
* Gate Xdelta support behind HAVE_XDELTA
- HAVE_XDELTA is on by default
- HAVE_PATCH is still required for HAVE_XDELTA to be meaningful
- Support is mostly contingent on the availability of LZMA
- Anything modern should be okay
- Legacy platforms (e.g. DOS) may need to have Xdelta support disabled
- At least until some other solution can be found
* Disable HAVE_XDELTA on platforms where the build recently failed
- These come from looking at the failed builds on GitHub
- These are guesses, and may turn out to be wrong
* Fix a potential memory leak
- Whoops, looks like I need to call two cleanup functions
- xd3_close_stream exists separately from xd3_free_stream
* Split the --help printout for --xdelta into its own strlcat call
- GCC was complaining about #ifdefs within macro arguments being non-portable
* Fix some incorrect printf format specifiers
* Modify Xdelta to adhere to C89
- It's mostly using RetroArch's INLINE macro instead of the inline keyword
- New descriptors: 'dpad_area' and 'abxy_area'
- Each has a diagonal sensitivity setting, 100% being 8-way symmetry
- Buttons can be redefined in the cfg file
E.g. This would create a d-pad area, then redefine it to use analog directions:
overlay0_desc0 = "dpad_area,0.85,0.57,rect,0.166228,0.295516"
overlay0_desc0_up = "r_y_minus"
overlay0_desc0_down = "r_y_plus"
overlay0_desc0_left = "r_x_minus"
overlay0_desc0_right = "r_x_plus"
* New Menu Items Disable Info & Search
Add menu options for disabling Info and Search buttons
* Update msg_hash_us.h
Update Sublabels
* Update menu_setting.c
Set Advanced flag for new settings
* Reduce snprintf and/or use them only for concatenating the
string formatting of numbers/values
* Reduce snprintfs
* Use snprintf for concatenation at parts
* * We don't need to NULL-terminate strings that get passed to strlcpy/strlcat
and friends
* Use snprintf for concatenation in certain instances
* Do away with some string intermediary copies where we can avoid it
* Fix warning unused variable
* * Reduce snprintf calls
* Rewrite snprintf calls into strlcpy where possible
* Use snprintf for concatenation when necessary
* Do away with some string intermediary copies in task_translation.c
* run_translation_service - make switch slightly smaller
(snprintf) Try to reduce or simplify snprintf calls, only tend to
use it for processing integers/numbers and avoid it for regular
string concatenation (NOTE: we try to be a bit safer about it to
address earlier cited criticism, although we don't consider concatenating
3 or 4 characters at the end to be insecure)
(msg_hash_to_str) Try to avoid duplicate calls to the same localized
string when we can just cache the results once instead locally
Reasons:
1 - Just a macro for strcpy
1.2 - doesn't have a return type unlike strlcpy, can't be used
for string concatenation
1.3 - unsafe compared to strlcpy
Do either manual string assignment per character or strlcpy, no
inbetween by resorting to strcpy
- (database_info.c) Optimizations for database_info_build_query_enum() -
it would call strlcat at the very least 3 times, normally more than that.
Every strlcat call is at least one or more strlens. Reduce it all down
to manual string concatenation and one strlcat
- (database_info_build_query_enum) - always NULL terminates string so no need for NULL termination done by callee
* (menu_displaylist) use smaller strings for basename paths, remove one unnecessary string
in menu_displaylist.c function
- (disk_index_file.c) Avoid another trivial string concatenation by doing
it manually after fill_pathname_join_special
- (fill_pathname_join_delim) since fill_pathname_join_delim() now has a return value, use it for
string concatenation
- (platform_unix) - Use BUFSIZ as size for a buffer in system_property_get
- some other trivial strlcat usage replacements
(menu_contentless_cores) Fix mistake - needed to set len to return
value of fill_pathname_join_special
(configuration.c) Fix some unused variable warnings on Linux
as deprecated.
* Use fill_pathname_join_special in the vast majority of cases where
we can ensure out_path is a new empty string
* Get rid of some extension concatenation with strlcat where encountered
* Some general cleanups with NULL termination of strings that get immediately
passed to strlcpy/strlcpy-adjacent functions
* (joypad_connection) Small optimizations -
* Turn functions static where possible
* Hose strlen call out of loop
* (input_driver.c) General cleanups:
* Some small code/style nits
task_screenshot.c:
* Move widget callback function for screenshots to task_screenshot.c
(file_path.c):
* Turn get_pathname_num_slashes into static function
* path_linked_list_free - always returns true, so get rid of return value
* path_linked_list_new - fix function signature
* path_get_archive_delim - do not NULL-terminate string, already done by strlcpy later on
General:
* Slight optimizations - use int/size_t for loop counter variable instead of unsigned
* Take advantage of fact that strlcpy already NULL-terminates, so don't do this explicitly
outside if we're just going to end up calling strlcpy/fill_pathname_join on it anyway
Closes https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/3414
I have investigated the issue. The crux of the problem is that on Android there
is no way distinguishing 2 scenarios:
1) 2 identical bluetooth controllers A and B and first there are button presses
only on controller A and then on controller B
2) the same controller disconnects and reconnects.
Android doesn't give bluetooth mac address of where the touch came from, only
opaque ID and this opaque ID changes after reconnect. Hence without changes to
android this is infeasible without giving up the ability for 2 users to play on
identical controllers.
I guess that this sacrifice makes sense for affected users
Enable it as it does not freeze. This provides an audio backend that
can report its buffer status, allowing auto frame skip to work on cores
that support it.
Do not build or include alsathread as it results in choppy audio.
Similarly, leave tinyalsa disabled as it plays back at a higher pitch
and is also choppy.
Change the default sample rate to 32000Hz as the previous default of
32730Hz is derived from the 3DS.

* Netplay Stuff
## PROTOCOL FALLBACK
In order to support older clients a protocol fallback system was introduced.
The host will no longer send its header automatically after a TCP connection is established, instead, it awaits for the client to send his before determining which protocol this connection is going to operate on.
Netplay has now two protocols, a low protocol and a high protocol; the low protocol is the minimum protocol it supports, while the high protocol is the highest protocol it can operate on.
To fully support older clients, a hack was necessary: sending the high protocol in the unused client's header salt field, while keeping the protocol field to the low protocol. Without this hack we would only be able to support older clients if a newer client was the host.
Any future system can make use of this system by checking connection->netplay_protocol, which is available for both the client and host.
## NETPLAY CHAT
Starting with protocol 6, netplay chat is available through the new NETPLAY_CMD_PLAYER_CHAT command.
Limitations of the command code, which causes a disconnection on unknown commands, makes this system not possible on protocol 5.
Protocol 5 connections can neither send nor receive chat, but other netplay operations are unaffected.
Clients send chat as a string to the server, and it's the server's sole responsability to relay chat messages.
As of now, sending chat uses RetroArch's input menu, while the display of on-screen chat uses a widget overlay and RetroArch's notifications as a fallback.
If a new overlay and/or input system is desired, no backwards compatibility changes need to be made.
Only clients in playing mode (as opposed to spectating mode) can send and receive chat.
## SETTINGS SHARING
Some settings are better used when both host and clients share the same configuration.
As of protocol 6, the following settings will be shared from host to clients (without altering a client's configuration file): input latency frames and allow pausing.
## NETPLAY TUNNEL/MITM
With the current MITM system being defunct (at least as of 1.9.X), a new system was in order to solve most if not all of the problems with the current system.
This new system uses a tunneling approach, which is similar to most VPN and tunneling services around.
Tunnel commands:
RATS[unique id] (RetroArch Tunnel Session) - 16 bytes -> When this command is sent with a zeroed unique id, the tunnel server interprets this as a netplay host wanting to create a new session, in this case, the same command is returned to the host, but now with its unique session id. When a client needs to connect to a host, this command is sent with the unique session id of the host, causing the tunnel server to send a RATL command to the host.
RATL[unique id] (RetroArch Tunnel Link) - 16 bytes -> The tunnel server sends this command to the host when a client wants to connect to the host. Once the host receives this command, it establishes a new connection to the tunnel server, sending this command together with the client's unique id through this new connection, causing the tunnel server to link this connection to the connection of the client.
RATP (RetroArch Tunnel Ping) - 4 bytes -> The tunnel server sends this command to verify that the host, whom the session belongs to, is still around. The host replies with the same command. A session is closed if the tunnel server can not verify that the host is alive.
Operations:
Host -> Instead of listening and accepting connections, it connects to the tunnel server, requests a new session and then monitor this connection for new linking requests. Once a request is received, it establishes a new connection to the tunnel server for linking with a client. The tunnel server's address and port are obtained by querying the lobby server. The host will publish its session id together with the rest of its info to the lobby server.
Client -> It connects to the tunnel server and then sends the session id of the host it wants to connect to. A host's session id is obtained from the json data sent by the lobby server.
Improvements (from current MITM system):
No longer a risk of TCP port exhaustion; we only use one port now at the tunnel server.
Very little cpu usage. About 95% net I/O bound now.
Future backwards compatible with any and all changes to netplay as it no longer runs any netplay logic at MITM servers.
No longer operates the host in client mode, which was a source of many of the current problems.
Cleaner and more maintainable system and code.
Notable functions:
netplay_mitm_query -> Grabs the tunnel's address and port from the lobby server.
init_tcp_socket -> Handles the creation and operation mode of the TCP socket based on whether it's host, host+MITM or client.
handle_mitm_connection -> Creates and completes linking connections and replies to ping commands (only 1 of each per call to not affect performance).
## MISC
Ping Limiter: If a client's estimated latency to the server is higher than this value, connection will be dropped just before finishing the netplay handshake.
Ping Counter: A ping counter (similar to the FPS one) can be shown in the bottom right corner of the screen, if you are connected to a host.
LAN Discovery: Refactored and moved to its own "Refresh Netplay LAN List" button.
## FIXES
Many minor fixes to the current netplay implementation are also included.
* Remove NETPLAY_TEST_BUILD
This can fix a lot of performance issues, like audio crackling and frame
time spikes. This requires the GameMode package to be installed. See:
https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
This commit adds a "Game Mode" bool option to the "Power
Management" and "Latency" settings sections, and it can be toggled
on/off without restarting RA.
The actual toggling of game mode happens in a new frontend platform
interface function. Perhaps this will become useful for other platforms
that provide some equivalent of Linux GameMode.
Since the GameMode ABI is fixed, and the API comes as a single,
header-only file with no actual deps, we simply bundle the header
(deps/feralgamemode/gamemode_client.h.) That way, all Linux builds will
have support for GameMode regardless of whether the GameMode development
package is installed or not.
* Added setting to allow/disallow players other than the host from pausing the game.
* Added a sublabel for netplay max connections.
* Fixed port override macro from not being set immediately after the port setting.
* Fixed memory leaks.
Adds new entry (where the entry for dumping CD is) to eject the disc -
in case the CD drive has no physical button to eject the disc / the
button does not work. Useless for most, but quality of life improvement
for some.

* Any pad can control the menu
== DETAILS
I am not sure I've quite got it so that any pad can *open* the
menu, but I do have it so any pad can control it.
- split out the input processing into a separate method
- track down and squish some hairy bugs that boiled down to
bad pointer math
- it looks like `menu_driver.c` has a mix of line endings, so I
ran it through `dos2unix` so it has consistent line endings
again.
- verified that this change did not impact actual cores
* optimize out cumulative_bits
* Incorporate PR feedback
Many thanks to @jdgleaver for providing these optimizations.
* apply one more optimization
