When you come across a cheat code in a place like the Dolphin
wiki, it's often posted like this:
$16:9 Widescreen
0441187C 3FE38E39
Sometimes users try to paste this in its entirety into the Code
field, which leads to Dolphin reporting an error on the first line.
I think it would be nice to make this a little smoother by having
Dolphin accept having a first line that starts with $.
PR https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9700 removed spaces from within control names, which some user complained about, and their point of view is kind of understandable:
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12605
with this change, only spaces outside (between) control names are trimmed, which are the ones we wanted to trim in the first place.
This will still retain the major advantages from 9700.
Basically, "`Button 1` + `Button 2`" was showing as "`Button1`+`Button2`", while it will now show as "`Button 1`+`Button 2`".
This actually eliminates any setting pertaining to SD cards from the
NetPlay dialog, as it would effectively just be a duplicate of the
setting in the Wii pane, potentially causing confusion.
This also enables save data writing by default, as this is probably
what most players want, and should avoid them losing hours of progress
because they forgot to tick a checkbox.

this prevented some devices from being recreated correctly, as they were exclusive (e.g. DInput Joysticks)
This is achieved by calling Settings::ReleaseDevices(), which releases all the UI devices shared ptrs.
If we are the host (Qt) thread, DevicesChanged() is now called in line, to avoid devices being hanged onto by the UI.
For this, I had to add a method to check whether we are the Host Thread to Qt.
Avoid calling ControllerInterface::RefreshDevices() from the CPU thread if the emulation is running
and we manually refresh devices from Qt, as that is not necessary anymore.
Refactored the way IOWindow lists devices to make it clearer and hold onto disconnected devices.
There were so many issues with the previous code:
-Devices changes would not be reflected until the window was re-opened
-If there was no default device, it would fail to select the device at index 0
-It could have crashed if we had 0 devices
-The default device was not highlighted as such
Looks like the option was added to the Wx UI at commit 198d3b69, which
was a few months after the advancedWidget was originally ported from
Wx to Qt, but before anyone was actually using Qt.
-add a way to reset their value (from the mappings UI)
-fix "memory leak" where they would never be cleaned,
one would be created every time you wrote a character after a "$"
-fix ability to create variables with an empty string by just writing "$" (+added error for it)
-Add $ operator to the UI operators list, to expose this functionality even more
This fixes a nasty issue where you can change the Dual Core setting
during emulation, if it has been overridden by GameINI or NetPlay, by
simply changing any of the non-disabled settings. This is because
changing any of the settings will write all of them to the config.
This issue is particularly nasty because managing to disable Dual Core
during emulation, and then stopping it, results in the emulator core
being totally deadlocked. It's impossible to recover from this state,
and Dolphin will remain as a zombie process on the system, consuming
resources and holding locks, until forcibly killed.
Analytics:
- Incorporated fix to allow the full set of analytics that was recommended by
spotlightishere
BuildMacOSUniversalBinary:
- The x86_64 slice for a universal binary is now built for 10.12
- The universal binary build script now can be configured though command line
options instead of modifying the script itself.
- os.system calls were replaced with equivalent subprocess calls
- Formatting was reworked to be more PEP 8 compliant
- The script was refactored to make it more modular
- The com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitlement was removed
Memory Management:
- Changed the JITPageWrite*Execute*() functions to incorporate support for
nesting
Other:
- Fixed several small lint errors
- Fixed doc and formatting mistakes
- Several small refactors to make things clearer
This commit adds support for compiling Dolphin for ARM on MacOS so that it can
run natively on the M1 processors without running through Rosseta2 emulation
providing a 30-50% performance speedup and less hitches from Rosseta2.
It consists of several key changes:
- Adding support for W^X allocation(MAP_JIT) for the ARM JIT
- Adding the machine context and config info to identify the M1 processor
- Additions to the build system and docs to support building universal binaries
- Adding code signing entitlements to access the MAP_JIT functionality
- Updating the MoltenVK libvulkan.dylib to a newer version with M1 support
Sending an empty string to the translation system will not
result in getting an empty string back, but rather a description
of the currently loaded translations file. So empty strings
should not be marked as translatable.
Also adding some i18n comments and rewording a string I thought
was hard to understand.
and replacing it with a ":" prefix. Also remove white spaces and \n \t \r.
bugfix: fix EmulatedController::GetStateLock() not being aquired when reading the
expression reference
bugfix: MappingButton::UpdateIndicator() calling State(0) on outputs, breaking ongoing
rumbles if a game was running
Improvement: make expressions previews appear in Italic if they failed to parse correctly
Since the description updating is tied to the selection changing on the detail list, and the detail list is recreated on each object change, behavior was somewhat broken. Clearing the list changed the current row to zero, but nothing else (particularly m_object_data_offsets) had been updated, so the description was not necessarily correct (this is easier to observe now since the vertex data is at the end, so it's easier to get different lengths of register updates). Furthermore, subsequent clears did not update the current row since there was no visible selection, so it only changed the description once. The current row is now always set to zero, which forces an update (and also scrolls the list back to the top). The presence of FRAME_ROLE and OBJECT_ROLE are also checked so that the description is cleared if no object is selected.
- Only one search result is generated per command/line, even if there are multiple matches in that line.
- Pressing enter on the edit field begins a search, just like clicking the begin button.
- The next and previous buttons are disabled until a search is begun.
- The search results are cleared when changing objects or frames.
- The previous button once again works (a regression from the previous commit), and the register updates and graphics data for the correct object are searched.
- currentRow() never returns -1, so checking that is unnecessary (and misleading).
- The 'Invalid search parameters (no object selected)' previously never showed up before because FRAME_ROLE is present if and only if OBJECT_ROLE is present.
This way, it can be focused with the render window behind it, instead of having the main window show up and cover the render window. This is useful for adjusting the object range, among other things.
If the number of objects varied, this would result in either missing objects on some frames, or too many objects on some frames; the latter case could cause crashes. Since it used the current frame to get the count, if the FIFO is started before the FIFO analyzer is opened, then the current frame is effectively random, making it hard to reproduce consistently.
This issue has existed since the FIFO analyzer was implemented for Qt.
The 'zero frames in the range' check can be removed because now there is always at least 1 frame; of course that might be the same frame over and over again, but that's still useful for e.g. Free Look (and the 1 frame repeating effect already occurred when frame count was exclusive).
A single object can be selected instead of 2 (it was already inclusive internally), and the maximum value is the highest number of objects in any frame (minus 1) to reduce jank when multiple frames are being played back.
Now that this is only called when playback actually starts (and not on unpausing), this change makes the experience a bit better (no more missing objects from not having reset the from object after changing FIFOs).
-Add pause state to FPSCounter.
-Add ability to have more than one "OnStateChanged" callback in core.
-Add GetActualEmulationSpeed() to Core. Returns 1 by default. It's used by my input PRs.
Verifying a Wii game creates an instance of IOS, and Dolphin
can't handle more than one instance of IOS at the same time.
Properly supporting it is probably more effort than it's worth.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12494.
Avoids the need to copy the *.mo files manually *and* more importantly
this ensures that the mo files are always recreated if the build
output directory is cleared.
