Yes, that's right! It's time to add even more NKit warnings,
because users still don't understand what NKit is or how it works!
More specifically, some users seem to be under the impression that
converting an NKit file to for instance RVZ using Dolphin's convert
feature will result in a normal RVZ file, when it in fact results in
an NKit RVZ file (since NKit is not a container format in the sense
that GCZ/WIA/RVZ/WBFS/CISO is, but rather a kind of trimmed ISO).
I can hardly blame users for not knowing this, because it's not
intuitive unless you know the technical details of how NKit works.
Prompted by https://dolphin.ci/#/builders/24/builds/985
A 1-character typo in a recent PR caused FifoCI builds to break
horribly and spew millions of panic alerts until buildbot crashed.
This PR adds a new config option -- defaulting to off -- that allows
Dolphin to abort early on when a panic alert occurs instead of
continuing forever.
It seems like we spend a lot of the game list scanning time in
updateAdditionalMetadata, which I suppose makes sense considering
how many different files that function attempts to open.
With the addition of just one little atomic operation, we can make
it safe to call updateAdditionalMetadata without holding a lock.

Back when I wrote this code, I believe I set it to use a custom path
so that the cache would end up in a directory which Android considers
to be a cache directory. But nowadays the directory which Dolphin's
C++ code considers to be the cache directory is such a directory,
so there's no longer any reason to override the default path.
Adds a new PlatformID for universal builds. This will allow single architecture
builds to be updated through the single architecture path, and universal builds
to be updated with universal builds.
Any file which includes scmrev.h must be rebuilt when scmrev.h
is regenerated. By not including scmrev.h from any file other
than Version.cpp, incremental builds become a little faster.
Some of the device names can be ambiguous and require fully or partly
qualifying the name (e.g. IOS::HLE::FS::) in a somewhat verbose way.
Additionally, insufficiently qualified names are prone to breaking.
Consider the example of IOS::HLE::FS:: (namespace) and
IOS::HLE::Device::FS (class). If we use FS::Foo in a file that doesn't
know about the class, everything will work fine. However, as soon as
Device::FS is declared via a header include or even just forward
declared, that code will cease to compile because FS:: now resolves
to Device::FS if FS::Foo was used in the Device namespace.
It also leads to having to write IOS::ES:: to access ES types and
utilities even for code that is already under the IOS namespace.
The fix for this is simple: rename the device classes and give them
a "device" suffix in their names if the existing ones may be ambiguous.
This makes it clear whether we're referring to the device class or to
something else.
This is not any longer to type, considering it lets us get rid of the
Device namespace, which is now wholly unnecessary.
There are no functional changes in this commit.
A future commit will fix unnecessarily qualified names.
Replace it with a function-local static that is initialized on first
use. This gets rid of a global variable and removes the need for
manual initialization in UICommon.
This commit also replaces the weird find_if that looks for a non-null
unique_ptr with a simple "is vector empty" check considering that
none of the pointers can be null by construction.
In case someone wants to be very careful with how much bandwidth
they use or with what data GameTDB.com collects on you.
This is already an option in DolphinQt (though in DolphinQt it
will switch entirely from using covers to banners when turned off).
