MemoryWatcher only works on Linux and affects emulation determinism due
to scheduling additional events, which causes NetPlay to desync.
Considering that this interface is a rather specialized use case, the
communication with it is kinda crappy *and* it's affecting emulation, I
think it's best to just axe it and come up with a better implementation
of the functionality.
This adds the functionality of sending the host's save data (raw memory
cards, as well as GCI files and Wii saves with a matching GameID) to
all other clients. The data is compressed using LZO1X to greatly reduce
its size while keeping compression/decompression fast. Save
synchronization is enabled by default, and toggleable with a checkbox
in the NetPlay dialog.
On clicking start, if the option is enabled, game boot will be delayed
until all players have received the save data sent by the host. If any
player fails to receive it properly, boot will be cancelled to prevent
desyncs.
Windows-1252 was sometimes being referred to as ASCII or ANSI
in Dolphin, which is incorrect. ASCII is only a subset of
Windows-1252, and ANSI is (rather improperly) used in Windows
to refer to the current code page (which often is 1252 on
Western systems, but can also be something entirely different).
The commit also replaces "SJIS" with "Shift JIS". "SJIS"
isn't misleading, but "Shift JIS" is more commonly used.
This fixes an issue where the Bluetooth info section could be fully
filled up by syncing 5 Wiimotes in passthrough mode then switching to
emulated Bluetooth; emulated Wiimotes were then unable to be used.
The "real" SYSCONF section is now backed up before being replaced with
a blank section that the emulated BT adapter can always fill with 5
Wiimotes without issues.
This backup is restored by the passthrough code, instead of during
the Bluetooth mode switch because this should be done regardless of the
user interface, and even without UI (if the config file is edited
manually).
fileplatform is moved so it's in the same place as the other platform
icons, and nobanner is moved just because it fits better in Resources.
Both of them were identical in all of Dolphin's themes.
- Change the path of the Sys folder to the executable's location
- Add LINUX_LOCAL_DEV flag to use relocatable version on Linux
- Add CMake definition for relocatable build
Currently only works on unix, but can be extended to other systems. Can
also be extended to do wiimotes.
Searches the Pipes folder for readable named pipes and creates a dolphin
input device out of them. Send controller inputs to the game by writing
to the file. Commands are described in Pipes.h.
