Path: Netplay -> Host -> Kick Client
- Allows the host to kick clients.
- Allows the host to view client information: connected clients (names), status (playing/spectating) and ping.
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

* 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.
Upstream of patch used by Lakka at build time
1943ad296e/packages/libretro/retroarch/patches/retroarch-99-eject_disc.patch
== DETAILS
So, basically this back-and-forth is because we used fixed-size
data types (i.e. `uint32_t`) which maps to different primitive data
types on different platforms. So `uint32_t` might be a `long` on some
platforms (e.g. Wii U), while it's just a plain integer on others (PC).
And the format specifier works off primitive data type, not data type
size.
So, to resolve this, we:
- keep `%lx` as the format specifier
- cast the parameter to printf to unsigned long
This is better than the alternatives that could cause problems trying to
cast a long down to an int.
== DETAILS
These changes fall into a few broad categories:
1. Explicitly undefine things we want to re-define due to conflicts with
the version of devkitpro we're using
2. Clean up hex format specifiers to use `%lx` or `%lX` when working with
long integers
3. Move variables inside the ifdef they're used in to squelch "unused variable"
messages
4. Add parenthesis to make Wii U shader declarations stop complaining
And then there's a weird "misleading indent" warning that I fixed by just
rewriting a block of code to use a switch statement instead of if-then-else.
These changes work fine on Wii U, but we'll need to keep an eye on CI/CD to see
if other platform builds break.

the define was seen as an error and was causing the first pipeline
to error out
- Make sure we manually set handle of backBuffer to NULL

and set d3d12->hdr.support and d3d12->hdr.enable outside of the
function
* (DXGI) Remove D3D12 dependencies from dxgi_check_display_hdr_support and
move it to dxgi_common.c instead
* (DXGI) move d3d12_swapchain_color_space over to dxgi_common.c and
rename it dxgi_swapchain_color_space

Fixed typo
- 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.
