Combined with the previous commits, this finally fixes the bug where
Dolphin had a chance of crashing if you returned to it after Android
killed the Dolphin process.
This way, we ensure that game INI settings are properly applied. I don't
think we actually expose the affected settings on a per-game basis in
the UI, but still.
The active challenges, aka the primed achievements, are displayed on screen as a series of icons in the bottom right corner of the screen via OnScreenUI.
This way the Settings class doesn't contain a hardcoded reference to
a specific setting. And Settings.loadSettings no longer calls
getBoolean, which is a step towards fixing the crash when recreating
EmulationActivity after process death.
Emulation state changed signals also update the wiimote connection. The signal here is only needed for wiimote connects/disconnects.
Can fix erroneous debugger behavior during booting, as dolphin will sometimes incorrectly report the state as paused, which leads the debugger widgets to run when they shouldn't.
When an achievement is "primed", a challenge is active, for example completing a portion of the game in under a time limit or without taking damage or using certain items. This is stored in a map in the Achievement Manager (and removed when the achievement is unprimed) so a later commit can display it on screen.
The Disabled state sits between Game Closed and completely Shutdown - stronger than the former, as it refuses to let a game be opened again until AchievementManager is restored (which only happens upon a fresh core boot) but it isn't completely shut down and will still allow the player to be logged in and access the achievement settings and their (global) achievement header.
This change splits LoadGameAsync into three methods: two HashGame methods to accept either a string filepath or a volume, and a common LoadGameSync that both HashGames call to actually process the code. In the process, some minor cleanup, and the hash resolution now takes place on the work queue asynchronously.
This should have been done when rebasing 6cc4f593e5 after the merge of
3a00ff625e. There are no correctness implications as far as I know,
only very minor performance implications.
This worked correctly on the JIT vertex loaders, and for the equivalent case with texture coordinates. I'm not aware of any games this affects (but libogc does mention a semi-related scenario at 6bc0317c7d/gc/ogc/gx.h (L1855-L1857).)
Jimmie Johnson's Anything with an Engine is known to use texture coordinate 7 (and only texture coordinate 7) in some cases. There are a lot of possible edge-cases, so this test brute-forces all combinations with coordinates 0, 1, and 2.
This test fails with the non-JIT vertex loader due to an issue fixed in a later commit in this PR. (Note that the non-JIT vertex loader is only used on machines where no JIT is available or if COMPARE_VERTEXLOADERS is enabled in VertexLoaderBase.cpp.)
This adds the actual switch to turn on Hardcore Mode to the settings tab of the Achievements dialog. It is accompanied by a large tooltip warning explaining what it does and when it can be enabled.
The switch is only enabled to be turned on when no game is running, so that games are started in hardcore mode and can only be loaded via the console's memory card, as in the original hardware. Hardcore may be turned off while a game is running, but cannot be turned back on until the game is disabled.
The toggle trigger for hardcore mode also automatically disables the settings that are not allowed during hardcore mode.
Finally, the original flag in AchievementSettingsWidget to set whether things are enabled in hardcore mode (primarily Leaderboards) is replaced with the actual Hardcore Mode setting.
Play Input Recording would potentially unlock achievements without any player input and needs to be disabled. If a recording is already playing, hardcore mode cannot be enabled.
The player getting a better view of their surroundings than the game would normally allow could possibly give the player an advantage over the original hardware, so Freelook is disabled in hardcore mode. To do this, I disable the config flag for Freelook when it is accessed, to make sure that it is disabled whether it was enabled before or after hardcore mode was enabled.
Memory patches would be an easy way to manipulate the memory needed to calculate achievement logic, so they must be disabled. Riivolution patches that do not affect memory are allowed, as they will be hashed with the game file.
Debug Mode gives players direct read and write access to memory, which could be used to completely manipulate RetroAchievements logic and therefore is not allowed in hardcore mode.
Slowing down the emulator would artificially improve reaction times and is therefore disallowed in hardcore mode. Speeds faster than 1x are allowed, but any speed below 1x is scaled back up to 1x.
Frame advancing is easily exploitable for slowing down a game and artificially improving reaction times and is not allowed in RetroAchievements hardcore mode.
While saving states is allowed (especially for the purpose of debugging), RetroAchievements does not allow loading saved states when hardcore mode is on.
This widget will be used in several places to notify the player that a feature has been disabled because hardcore mode is on. It includes a button to open the Achievement Settings so that Hardcore Mode may be turned off. Also included is the framework required to open AchievementsWindow specifically on the Settings tab.
Hardcore Mode is a RetroAchievements feature for enabling as close to original hardware as possible, to keep a fair, challenging, and competitive playing field for achievements (which get tallied differently and emphasized more in hardcore) and leaderboards (where it is mandatory) at the cost of several common emulator features that provide advantages, such as state loading and slower emulation speeds.
This commit just adds the flag to the AchievementSettings, with more to come.
Dolphin would crash when running with a fastmem arena but without
fastmem. This regression was caused by merging 9192128c50 without
adapting it after the merge of 0606433404.
