The original reason I wanted to do this was so that we can replace
the Android-specific code with this in the future, but of course,
just deduplicating between DolphinWX and DolphinQt2 is nice too.
Fixes:
- DolphinQt2 showing the wrong size for split WBFS disc images.
- DolphinQt2 being case sensitive when checking if a file is a DOL/ELF.
- DolphinQt2 not detecting when a Wii banner has become available
after the game list cache was created.
Removes:
- DolphinWX's ability to load PNGs as custom banners. But it was
already rather broken (see https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10365
and https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10366). The reason I removed
this was because PNG decoding relied on wx code and we don't have any
good non-wx/Qt code for loading PNG files right now (let's not use
SOIL), but we should be able to use libpng directly to implement PNG
loading in the future.
- DolphinQt2's ability to ignore a cached game if the last modified
time differs. We currently don't have a non-wx/Qt way to get the time.
We shouldn't try to create folder names that contain characters
such as : or / since they are forbidden or have special meanings.
(No officially released disc uses such characters, though.)
Use std::string(cstring, strnlen(cstring, max_length)) instead of
trying to remove extra null characters manually, which is a bit
ugly and error prone.
And indeed, the original code contained a bug which would cause
extra NULLs to not be removed at all if the string did not
end with a NULL -- causing issues down the road when constructing
paths for sub-entries.
This removes the hack that enables directly booting from WADs
without installing them first for the following reasons:
1. It makes the NAND content handling much more complicated than what
it should be and makes future changes like permissions or booting
NAND titles without a WAD more annoying to implement.
Because of this hack, we needed an extra level of abstraction
(NANDContent*) which has to read tons of things from the NAND, even
most of the time it's useless. This in turn forces us to have
caching, which is known to break titles and requires manual cache
invalidations. Annoying and error prone.
2. It prevents the WAD boot code from being easily accurate. With this
change, we can simply reuse the existing launch code, and ask IOS
to launch the title from the NAND.
3. The hack did not work that well since it did not cover a lot of ES
commands. And it works even less since the ES accuracy fixes.
This results in Dolphin returning inconsistent results: a
lot of the ES "DI" commands will just fail because the active title
is not installed on the NAND. uid.sys is not changed, etc.
And I'm not even talking about FS stuff -- where this would still
totally fail, unless we add even more unnecessary hacks.
This is not just theoretical -- the system menu and the Wii Shop are
known to behave strangely because the hack damages the NAND
structure, and we've already had several users report issues.
This commit makes it so WADs are always installed prior to launching.
A future commit will remove any code that was there only for the hack.
This updates the maker data to (mostly) mirror that of the Wiki:
https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=GameIDs
Only maker ids from that page are now included in Dolphin. This
means no homebrew/unofficial makers.
Also, separate multiple maker names with a slash
Some of my WiiWare games does not have a maker :
- Blue's Journey : EAFPJ8
- Magician Lord : EACPJ8
- The King of Fighters '94 : EAGPJ8
- The Last Ninja : C9XPGX
- World Games : C9ZPGX
I noticed the Strong Bad games, FAST - Racing League, and Tetris Party
were lacking info in the game lists' maker column.
This adds the information based on the games' MakerID.
This adds a WiiWad constructor that takes a BlobReader, so that the
class can be used with more than just files from the host filesystem.
Required for using WiiWad with WADs from update partitions.
There were two problems with this:
1. If the starting offset was beyond the end of the disc,
we would dereference an invalid iterator.
2. The data beyond the end of the disc was non-deterministic.
Having DiscContents with size 0 would mean that some DiscContents
might not get added to the std::set because of them comparing
identically to another DiscContent.
This replaces an older piece of code in WriteDirectory that ensures
that no two files have the same starting offset. (We now care about
the ending offset, not the starting offset. The new solution both
ensures that no two files have the same ending offset and that no
two files have the same starting offset.)
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.
Now it's clearer that SetDOL depends on SetApploader
and BuildFST depends on SetDOL.
As a side note, we now load the DOL even if there's
no apploader. (I don't think it matters whether we
do it, but it was easier to implement this way.)
This lets VolumeDirectory/DirectoryBlob skip implementing
various volume functions like GetGameID, GetBanner, etc.
It also lets us view extracted discs in the game list.
This ends up breaking the boot process for Wii
DirectoryBlobs due to workarounds being removed from the
boot process, but that will be fixed later by adding
proper DirectoryBlob support for things like TMDs.
We now expect the directories to be laid out in a certain
format (based on the format that WIT uses) instead of requiring
the user to set the DVD root and apploader path settings.
This is useful for blob types that store Wii data unencrypted
(such as WIA and discs extracted to directories) so that
we don't have to waste CPU time encrypting in the blob code
just to decrypt right afterwards in the volume code.
According to http://scanlines16.com/en/blog-3/retro-gaming/game-cube/gamecube-korean-master-list/,
Korean GC releases use the following country codes:
- E or W for games in English
- K for games in Korean
- Unknown value for games in Japanese (my guess is that they might
have made the discs bit-for-bit identical to Japanese releases
because the regions of these games are already set to NTSC-J)
As far as I know, the GC has no Taiwanese releases, which is what
the W country code is used for on the Wii. But I could be wrong.
A small note: The country_byte == 'K' check in the code isn't
actually necessary as long as RegionSwitchGC returns NTSC_J
for 'K', but I thought it would be better to not rely on that.
The county code isn't 100% reliable for detecting the region.
For instance, some games released in Korea have the country
code E even though they're region-locked to NTSC-J consoles.
This commit makes the GC disc region detection match the Wii
disc region detection (apart from the region value being in
a different place on the disc).
