Ideally Common.h wouldn't be a header in the Common library, and instead be renamed to something else, like PlatformCompatibility.h or something, but even then, there's still some things in the header that don't really fall under that label
This moves the version strings out to their own version header that doesn't dump a bunch of other unrelated things into scope, like what Common.h was doing.
This also places them into the Common namespace, as opposed to letting them sit in the global namespace.
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.
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.
Allows reusing the WAD import logic more easily, whereas UICommon
code can only be used from UICommon and UI.
And managing what's on the NAND is the Core's responsability, not UI.
* Move out boot parameters to a separate struct, which is not part
of SConfig/ConfigManager because there is no reason for it to
be there.
* Move out file name parsing and constructing the appropriate params
from paths to a separate function that does that, and only that.
* For every different boot type we support, add a proper struct with
only the required parameters, with descriptive names and use
std::variant to only store what we need.
* Clean up the bHLE_BS2 stuff which made no sense sometimes. Now
instead of using bHLE_BS2 for two different things, both for storing
the user config setting and as a runtime boot parameter,
we simply replace the Disc boot params with BootParameters::IPL.
* Const correctness so it's clear what can or cannot update the config.
* Drop unused parameters and unneeded checks.
* Make a few checks a lot more concise. (Looking at you, extension
checks for disc images.)
* Remove a mildly terrible workaround where we needed to pass an empty
string in order to boot the GC IPL without any game inserted.
(Not required anymore thanks to std::variant and std::optional.)
The motivation for this are multiple: cleaning up and being able to add
support for booting an installed NAND title. Without this change, it'd
be pretty much impossible to implement that.
Also, using std::visit with std::variant makes the compiler do
additional type checks: now we're guaranteed that the boot code will
handle all boot types and no invalid boot type will be possible.
This makes it hard to support different boot params for different boot
types. We should not be making the assumption that Dolphin will
always be booting directly from a file (and in particular, only
using a string).
It's incompatible with future changes that will allow Dolphin to boot
a NAND title properly from well, the NAND, as opposed to booting from
WADs. (And no, treating the title TMD as a "bootable" path doesn't
count. Especially when that approach won't work with NAND images
or IOS LLE.)
And it's confusing to expose this functionality from the UI. It's
pretty bad for UX to change the play button's behaviour depending on
whether the user has launched something before, configured a default
file to boot, added a directory to their game paths.
This file is pretty small now that it doesn't handle Wii
partitions anymore, so let's move its contents to Volume.cpp.
This is also more consistent with how blob creation works.
This is something that should be the responsibility of the frontend
booting the game. Making this part of the host 'interface' inherently
requires frontends to leak internal details (much like the other
UI-related functions in the interface).
This also decouples more behavior from the debugger and the
initialization process in the wx frontend. This also eliminates several
usages of the parent menubar in the debugger code window.
Just like DeleteTitle, Using CNANDContentManager is overkill,
inefficient and useless. And it results in a few failures in
situations where a delete should just always work.
But here it gets bonus points, because it manages to actually use
the TMD for deleting contents, when IOS does none of that and just
deletes files ending with .app in the title content directory. :)
This changes the main IOS code (roughly the equivalent of the kernel)
to a class instead of being a set of free functions + tons of static
variables.
The reason for this change is that keeping tons of static variables
like that prevents us from making an IOS instance and reusing IOS
code easily.
Converting the IOS code to a class also allows us to mostly decouple
IOS from the PPC emulation.
The more interesting changes are in Core/IOS/IOS. Everything else is
mostly just boring stuff required by this change...
* Because the devices themselves call back to the main IOS code
for various things (getting the current version, replying to a
request, and other syscall-like functions), just like processes in
IOS call kernel syscalls, we have to pass a reference to the kernel
to anything that uses IOS syscalls.
* Change DoState to save device names instead of device IDs to simplify
AddDevice() and get rid of an ugly static count.
* Change ES_Launch's ack to be sent at IOS boot, now that we can do
this properly.
Simple quality-of-life addition that allows "uninstalling" WADs
(removing the corresponding installed title) from the NAND.
The option is only enabled when the WAD can be uninstalled
The motivation for this is actually to encourage proper usage of the
WAD launch feature (installing it to the NAND first), so we can
drop the "direct WAD title launch" hack.
