Settings that come from the SYSCONF are now included in Dolphin's
config system as part of the base layer. They are handled in a
special way compared to other settings to make sure they are only
loaded from and saved to the SYSCONF (to avoid different, possibly
contradicting sources of truth).
When recording during netplay, the stop message was only sent after you
have chosen a filename for the replay, causing the other player(s)
to freeze for a few seconds. This takes care of the annoyance.
For instance, we don't want to show TGC files that might be
inside the /files/ directory of a GameCube DirectoryBlob,
and we don't want to show the /sys/main.dol files for extra
partitions of Wii DirectoryBlobs.
Same as the previous commit, except I'm copying strings
in the other direction because the DolphinWX variants
of these strings could use some improvement.
I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to put the Wiimote
connect code as part of the Host interface, and have that called
from both the UI code and the core. And then hack around it by having
"force connect" events whenever Host_ConnectWiimote is called
from the core...
Core::PauseAndLock requires all calls to it to be balanced, like this:
const bool was_unpaused = Core::PauseAndLock(true);
// do stuff on the CPU thread
Core::PauseAndLock(false, was_unpaused);
Aside from being a bit cumbersome, it turns out all callers really
don't need to know about was_unpaused at all. They just need to do
something on the CPU thread safely, including locking/unlocking.
So this commit replaces Core::PauseAndLock with a function that
makes both the purpose and the scope of what is being run on the
CPU thread visually clear. This makes it harder to accidentally run
something on the wrong thread, or forget the second call to
PauseAndLock to unpause, or forget that it needs to be passed
was_unpaused at the end.
We also don't need comments to indicate code X is being run on the
CPU thread anymore, as the function name makes it obvious.
Showing the Wii remote connection status leads to inconsistent UX,
because we don't do anything like that for GameCube controllers
or with Bluetooth passthrough.
It's also questionable how useful it is given that:
* it doesn't print the number of connected remotes, just that one
remote is connected, connecting or not connected, so the only info
it provides is actually wrong when using multiple remotes;
* this user-facing feature is actually broken in master and no one has
complained AFAIK, which means people don't really rely on it;
* the status bar isn't visible most of the time unless the user is
using render to main or deliberately keeping the main window's
status bar visible by moving the render window and they're not too
far away from their screen;
* emulated Wii remotes now reconnect on input, which means that there
is less of a need to actually know at all times whether a remote
is connected, since pressing any button will reconnect it and provide
immediate, visible feedback via OSD messages and the Wii remote
pointer appearing.
