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.
When playing a game on OS X, although the screen does not go to
sleep, the screensaver is still enabled, and therefore, during
gameplay, the screensaver may start running, which is not in
accordance to the behaviour on other other environments (Windows
and X11). It can be argued that the screensaver interrupting
gameplay is a nuissance to many players.
The changes in this commit are intended to allow Dolphin to disable
the screensaver during gameplay, just as intended on other platforms.
The changes have been tested on OS X 10.11 (El Capitan).
Rather than destroy and reinitialize the dialog whenever it's closed,
and opened this dialog can just be hidden from view when it's not
needed, and shown again when it is needed.
Also, a dialog should really not be managing any live instances of
itself, including the one directly in the main frame.
This gets rid of another usage of the main frame global.
Places all of the SI code under the SerialInterface namespace instead of
only the main source file. This keeps all SI code under a common name,
as well as out of the global namespace
Not only this is pretty pointless because there is a load and save button on the appropriate panels, but for the breakpoints one, it caused an error while mapping the memory since adding memory breakpoint requires to update the DBAT and this is done too early (right after boot). This also only worked if you had the right panel on making it even more useless because it would fail to laod if you didn't have the right panel on. It's better to just let the user click load and save.
