Previously we were always taking the buffer by value, even if it wasn't
being stored anywhere and only read from.
We can use a std::span for the same thing.
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 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.
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.
Some state changes are meant to be near instantanoues, before switching to something else. By reporting ithe instant switch, the UI will flicker between states (pause/play button) and the debugger will unnecessarily update. Skipping the callback avoids these issues.
