Instead of comparing the game ID, revision, disc number and name,
we can compare a hash of important parts of the disc including
all the aforementioned data but also additional data such as the
FST. The primary reason why I'm making this change is to let us
catch more desyncs before they happen, but this should also fix
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12115. As a bonus, the UI can
now distinguish the case where a client doesn't have the game at
all from the case where a client has the wrong version of the game.
It is my opinion that nobody should use NKit disc images without
being aware of the drawbacks of them. Since it seems like almost
nobody who is using NKit disc images knows what NKit is (hmm, now
how could that have happened...?), I am adding a warning to Dolphin
so that you can't run NKit disc images without finding out about the
drawbacks. In case someone really does want to use NKit disc images,
the warning has a "Don't show this again" option. Unfortunately, I
can't retroactively add the warning where it's most needed:
in Dolphin 5.0, which does not support Wii NKit disc images.
QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
Avoids dragging in IniFile, EXI device and SI device headers in this header which is
quite widely used throughout the codebase.
This also uncovered a few cases where indirect inclusions were being
relied upon, which this also fixes.
This changes the Host Input Authority and Golf Mode checkboxes into a
set of radio buttons, consisting of Fair Input Delay, Host Input
Authority, and Golf Mode. This represents the 3 network modes we have.
Although Golf Mode is just an extension of Host Input Authority, it's
more logical to the user to present it as a separate option, rather
than enabling the Golf Mode checkbox only when Host Input Authority is
enabled. This also eliminates the need to first enable Host Input
Authority before Golf Mode can be enabled.
This also adds tooltips to provide brief descriptions of the options,
as well as reintroducing tooltips that were previously removed.
This is an extension of host input authority that allows switching the
host (who has zero latency) on the fly, at the further expense of
everyone else's latency. This is useful for turn-based games where the
latency of players not on their turn doesn't matter.
To become the so-called golfer, the player simply presses a hotkey.
When the host is the golfer, latency is identical to normal host input
authority.
Calling deleteLater in MainWindow's destructor doesn't work, as the
event loop will stop before it gets around to deleting these dialogs.
Seeing as this is a QObject destructor, we should already be on the
event loop anyways, so simply using delete should be safe.
Doing pretty much anything in the controller config breaks NetPlay
(desync and/or deadlock), as saving the settings reconfigures
controller interfaces, which NetPlay doesn't expect.
Previously, the Qt frontend would initialize the controller
interface on starting, resulting in the cursor position being
relative to the main window, instead of the render window.
* Removed the Cancel button since the code doesn't react to it anyway.
* Only show a window title, not the help icon (?), and disable the close button
* Set the title to "Dolphin" instead of repeating the label text

fixed crash from joining user that isn't hosting via a direct connection
current game stat can now pass to override the current game in config

Basically everything here was race conditions in Qt callbacks, so I changed the client/server instances to std::shared_ptr and added null checks. It checks that the object exists in the callback, and the shared_ptr ensures it doesn't get destroyed until we're done with it.
MD5 check would also cause a segfault if you quit without cancelling it first, which was pretty silly.
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.
Reduces the amount of dependencies dragged in by the main window's
header. This also removes MainWindow.h includes elsewhere where they
aren't necessary, reducing the amount of UI files that need to be
recompiled if the main window's header changes.
Avoids dragging in a bunch of includes from the header files, and also
reduces the amount of files that need to be recompiled if one of those
included headers' source content is ever changed.
Previously there was only one function under the NetPlay namespace,
which is kind of silly considering we have all of these other types
and functions existing outside of the namespace.
This moves the rest of them into the namespace.
This gets some general names, like Player, for example, out of the global namespace.
