Basically, instead of having one button for config, one button
for graphics settings and so on, we now have just one settings
button which takes you to a screen where you pick between
config/graphics/GameCube controllers/Wii Remotes.
The main reason I want to do this is because people still have
trouble finding Overlay Controls in the "new" in-game menu.
Typically (depending on the screen size and the length of the
game name), the scrollable part of the menu can fit 4 items,
and merging Config and Graphics Settings into one item would
move Overlay Controls from 5th place to 4th place (assuming the
user doesn't have savestates enabled), which makes it findable
even for users who don't realize the menu can be scrolled.
The dialog that's shown when long pressing a game in the game
list is also shortened. While not a pressing matter, I think
it was getting a bit long.
An additional reason to do this is because we probably will
want to make it possible to edit the controller settings
from the in-game menu at some point in the future. With the
old approach, this would require us to dedicate a whopping 4
menu items just for settings (not including Overlay Controls),
which I think is excessive.
Introduces the system class that will eventually contain all relevant
system state, as opposed to everything being distributed all over the
place as global variables.
Throughout the codebase we have code that from its interface-view, does
not actually require its dependencies to be described in the interface,
and we routinely run into issues with initialization where we sometimes
make use of a facility before it's been initialized, which leads to
annoying to debug cases, because the reader needs to run through the
codebase and see what order things get initialized in, and how they're
being used. This is particularly a frequent issue in the video code.
Further, we also have a lot of code that makes use of file-scope
variables (many of which are non-trivial), which must all be default
initialized before the application can actually enter main(). While this
may not be a huge issue in itself, some of these are allocating, which
means that the application may need to use memory that it otherwise
wouldn't need to (e.g. when a game isn't running, this excess memory is
being used).
Being able to wrap all these subsystems into objects would be nicer,
since they can be constructed when they're actually needed. Them being
objects also means we can better express dependencies on subsystems as
types directly in the interface, making them explicit to the reader
instead of a change randomly blowing up, said reader inspecting it, and finding
out that something needed to be initialized beforehand. With the global
turned into a function parameter, the dependency is explicit and they
know just by reading it, that the given subsystem needs to be in a valid
state before calling the function.
For a prior example of an emulator that has moved to this model, see
yuzu, which has been migrated off of global variables all over the place
and replaced with a system instance (which has now reached the stage,
where the singleton can be removed).
We want to clear/memset the padding bytes, not just each member,
so using assignment or {} initialization is not an option.
To silence the warnings, cast the object pointer to u8* (which is not
undefined behavior) to make it explicit to the compiler that we want
to fill the object representation.
TunTap has recently become unmaintained, and it seems Apple wants developers to move away from kexts in general. TunTap currently takes some finagling to work on Catalina, and it may not work at all on Big Sur, necessitating a non-kext-based solution. Fortunately, fake Ethernet devices were introduced in Sierra and can be used similarly to tap adapters. This commit adds a new type of BBA interface implementation which uses fake Ethernet devices via tapserver (https://github.com/fuzziqersoftware/tapserver) to communicate with the host. This implementation was tested with PSO Episodes I & II, which can successfully connect to a private server running locally.
This implementation is only available on macOS, since that's the only place it's needed - Windows/Linux/Unix are unaffected by TunTap being deprecated.
Make sure m_is_populating_devices is true when a WM_INPUT_DEVICE_CHANGE
event is received directly on the ciface thread, so that callbacks do
not occur while removing devices. This breaks a hold-and-wait deadlock
between the ciface thread and the CPU thread when using emulated
Wiimotes.

If we want to enable codes in the default game INIs,
we should have some way for users to disable them.
This commit accomplishes that by adding a *_Disabled
section corresponding to each *_Enabled section.
In order to reach the middle guard (at m_stack_base + GUARD_OFFSET)
before the bottom guard (at m_stack_base), the stack pointer
must start at an address which is higher than the middle guard.
It also didn't make sense that we were allocating memory
and then not using the top part of it.
Nintendo's official title installation code and ES both only look at
content IDs but we should probably check for content hashes in addition
to checking for IDs for at least two reasons:
1. Some of the installed contents could be corrupted -- this cannot be
easily detected without checking hashes.
2. Some mod distributors do not bother to update content IDs, which
means that installing updates from the UI would not actually
update the installed game. This is confusing for users.
To keep the existing semantic (for IOS especially), the new content
hash checks are opt-in for callers of GetStoredContentsFromTMD.
This commit changes WiiUtils's WAD installation logic to enable
the content hash checks.
Adds a flag to File::Delete and File::DeleteDir functions to control
whether a console warning is emitted when the file or directory doesn't
exist. The flag is optional and true by default to match current behavior.
If the compiler can detect an issue with a format string at compile
time, then we should take advantage of that and turn the issue into a
hard compile-time error as such problems almost always lead to UB.
This helps with catching logging or assertion messages that have been
converted over to fmt but are still using the old, non-fmt variants
of the logging macros.
This commit also fixes all incorrect usages that I could find.
Makes File::DeleteDir return true when attempting to delete a
nonexistent path.
The purpose of DeleteDir is to ensure the path doesn't exist after the
call, which is better reflected by the new return value. Additionally,
none of the current callers actually check the return value so this
won't break any existing code.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12327.
When we started using fmt in CheckExternalExceptions, JitArm64
mysteriously stopped working even though the code path where
fmt was used never was reached. This is because the compiler
added a function prologue and epilogue to set up the stack,
since the code path that used fmt required the use of the stack.
However, the breakage didn't actually have anything to do
with the usage of the stack in itself, but rather with the
compiler's insertion of a stack canary. In the function
epilogue, a cmp instruction was inserted to check that the
stack canary had not been overwritten during the execution
of the function. This cmp instruction overwriting the status
flags ended up having a disastrous side effect once execution
returned to code emitted by JitArm64::WriteExceptionExit.
JitArm64's dispatcher contains a branch to the "do_timing"
code which is intended to be taken if the PPC downcount is
negative. However, the dispatcher doesn't update the status
flags on its own before this conditional branch, but rather
expects the calling code to have set them as a side effect
of DoDownCount. The root cause of our bug was that
JitArm64::WriteExceptionExit was calling DoDownCount before
Check(External)Exceptions instead of after.
1. Comparing string_views does not behave the same as strncmp
in the case where SConfig's game ID is longer than 6 chars.
2. DTMHeader::GetGameID wasn't excluding null bytes for game IDs
shorter than 6 chars.
3. == was accidentally used instead of !=.
This issue is both severe and surprisingly difficult to find
the root cause of, so I think it would make sense to add a simple
hotfix for now. https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12327
Fallback Region
A user-selected fallback to use instead of the default PAL
This is used for unknown region or region free titles to give them
the ability to force region to use. This replaces the current fallback region
of PAL. This can be useful if a user is trying to play a region free
tilte that is originally NTSC and expects to be run at NTSC speeds. This
may be done when a user attempts to dump a WAD of their own without
understanding the settings they have chosen, or could be an intentional
decision by a developer of a ROM hack that can be injected into a
Virtual Console WAD.
Remove using System Menu region being checked in GetFallbackRegion
Use DiscIO::Region instead of std::String for fallback
Add explanation text for Fallback Region
Unfortunately, adding a DEBUG_ASSERT_MSG_FMT isn't actually possible
right now because of compiler bugs:

We could require a newer version of GCC (10) but that would require
updating GCC on the build machines.
For what it's worth, older versions of GCC (8, 9) are broken in
many ways: adding constexpr to some Matrix functions causes GCC 8
to generate bugged code that causes the Wii IR pointer to disappear,
which means that the generated builds are already unusable
(see https://dolp.in/i12324).
Additionally, we've already had to add workarounds for those versions
in the format macros to fix compilation bugs. This time, it looks like
workarounds won't cut it; even applying the workaround
described in https://github.com/fmtlib/fmt/pull/1580 does not help.
