The logging was broken in 958cbf38a4 (DSPTool doesn't use dolphin's logging system, so it just produced nothing; the same thing affected comparing before 693a29f8ce).
AssemblerError::LabelAlreadyExists (previously ERR_LABEL_EXISTS) simply was never used.
- Cancel doesn't shut down anymore.
Allowing it to be used multiple times thoughout the life of
the WorkQueue
- Remove Clear, so we only have Cancel semantics
- Add IsCancelling so work items can abort early if cancelling
- Replace m_cancelled and m_thread.joinable() guars with m_shutdown.
- Rename Flush to WaitForCompletion (As it's ambiguous if a function
called flush should be blocking or not)
- Add documentation
CMakeSettings.json is a Visual Studio only extention to cmake that isn't
supported anywhere else. Not even Visual Studio Code.
So we set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH inside DolphinQt's CMakeLists.txt instead.
A lot of the remaining complexity in Renderer is the massive Swap function
which tries to handle a bunch of FrameBegin/FrameEnd events.
Rather than create a new place for it. This event system will try
to distribute it all over the place
Almost all the virtual functions in Renderer are part of dolphin's
"graphics api abstraction layer", which has slowly formed over the
last decade or two.
Most of the work was done previously with the introduction of the
various "AbstractX" classes, associated with texture cache cleanups
and implementation of newer graphics APIs (Direct3D 12, Vulkan, Metal).
We are simply taking the last step and yeeting these functions out
of Renderer.
This "AbstractGfx" class is now completely agnostic of any details
from the flipper/hollywood GPU we are emulating, though somewhat
specialized.
(Will not build, this commit only contains changes outside VideoBackends)
Texture cache occasionally mutates textures for efficiency.
Which is awkward if we want to borrow those textures from texture cache
to do something else, such as a graphics debugger, or async presentation
on another thread.
Content locking provides a way to signal that the contents of a texture
cache entry should not change. Texture cache will be forced to use
alternative strategies.
The whole ownership model was getting a bit of a mess, with a some
of special cases to deal with. And I'm planning to make it even more
complex in the future.
So here is some upfront work to convert it over to reference counted
pointers.
Macros that expand to include the standard define macro are undefined.
This is pretty trivial to fix. We can just do the test and then define
the name itself if it's true, rather than making the set of definition
checks the macro itself.
This reverts commit e140516130. This assert triggers for AX and AXWii uCode games (including the Wii System Menu) for various addresses that seem to be 4-byte aligned. Worse still, if the DSP thread is in use (i.e. for DSP LLE recompiler, but not for DSP LLE interpreter), Dolphin completely hangs after the panic alert. Perhaps the data DMA has fewer restrictions compared to the instruction DMA?
The change to DSPTool (e391a28102) has not been reverted, as it still fixes broken behavior for DSPSpy at -O0 on real hardware.
Gives two members without explicit initialization default values to be
consistent with the rest of the class and also ensuring deterministic
values on construction.
Though less important compared to #11470, save states also show the full path in the OSD message and could potentially dox a streamer who is playing in Dolphin. This is a simple fix - it removes the path from the message and only displays the file name.

Re-jig code to exit early and read easier
I haven't tested this extensively on real hardware, but I do know that bad things happen if the address isn't properly aligned, and libogc says it should be 32-byte aligned.
Turns out all OSD messages, every single one, are written to the titlebar. We've just never seen them because the FPS is in the title bar and it replaces it in a fraction of a second. This was only visible when saving savestates because it halts emulation for a moment while writing.
This is dumb, let's not do that anymore.
A few weeks ago, a vtuber tweeted that they had to remove a vod of their stream because Dolphin Emulator showed some personal information during the steam, and left a warning to everyone else that Dolphin shows the account name of the computer. And yea, we do, we show the full directory of the memory card every time a memory card is written, and due to mandatory Microsoft account nonsense, that is very likely to contain someone’s real name.
Fortunately this is very easy for us to solve. This change simply removes the filename from wrote memory card contents string. That’s it. All functionality of the wrote memory card OSD message remains the same, it just doesn’t say where the memory card is anymore.
There are lots of other potential solutions to this but after talking on IRC it seems the simplest one is the best.

We've decided this track will never be used in the future. Releases will
continue using the "beta" branch internally, though we'll have the
user-visible strings use a different name instead.
(Note: Dolphin provided builds have always defaulted to 'beta' as the
auto-update track, so anyone who set 'stable' did so manually.)
This should be a fairly easy merge, assuming I didn’t mess anything up. TL:DR no one uses it and it’s not great.
Boot from DVD Backup is an ancient feature with origins in the Megacommit. Back then, GameCube and Wii games were quite large relative to drives of the time. For example, in 2008, the most common hard drive sizes were 320GB and 512GB. On the 320GB drive I personally had at the time, as little as 42 Wii ISOs could have filled it entirely! And that’s ignoring any other files one might want to put onto a drive. Backup DVDs allowed users to burn relatively cheap DVD media and store their GameCube and Wii dumps in a Dolphin accessible way that didn’t eat into their precious HDD space. It had compromises, even then, but in 2008… I mean honestly users probably wouldn’t even notice those compromises with how Dolphin barely even worked at all back then.
Obviously, today the storage space concerns are not as big of an issue. According to seagate the average hard drive it sells today is 8TB. For typical laptops purchased now, the -minimum- selection for storage is usually 1TB. You can even buy a name brand 4TB external hard drive for $100. GC and Wii ISOs are not as big as they once were, relatively anyway. Plus flash drives and SD cards are super cheap and way faster than disc drives ever were. For anyone that has limited drive space, removable flash media can fulfill this offloading role far better than backup DVD media ever could.
Also no one has DVD drives anymore. That’s kind of an important detail.
But to see if Booting from DVD Backup even still worked, I decided to give it a try. I have an ASUS BW-16D1HT, a badass Bluray XL reading and burning drive, connected to my Windows 11 Threadripper 5975WX machine. A super fast drive on a super fast machine is as good as it possibly can get for this feature. So I bought a spindle of DVD-Rs, burned a couple of discs and gave it a try. Surprisingly, it does still work. However, as expected, it introduces a lot of stuttering. Testing Prime 1 and Prime 3, in both games stuttering was introduced whenever the DVD Drive had to suddenly seek. Spikes of 50ms occurred constantly, but I observed 150ms and even over 1000ms stutters! The worst was a three second stutter, when loading Elysia in Prime 3. I could even hear the stutters - any time the drive suddenly made a harsh seeking noise, the game would have a hard stutter. It worked but, it has some serious compromises.
Boot from DVD Backup isn’t great, using removable flash media or external hard drives is a FAR better option for anyone with limited storage space today, and no one can even use this feature anymore because their computers don’t even have disc drives. It’s time for Boot from DVD Backup to go!
So I did my best on the cleanup but I’m bound to have left some bits. Especially in translation - I didn’t get any warnings or anything there that could help point me to where to clean that up. Please review!
