Debug Mode gives players direct read and write access to memory, which could be used to completely manipulate RetroAchievements logic and therefore is not allowed in hardcore mode.
This makes it so that if you just want to reload the current style (eg. on program start, or in response to a system event), you don't need to know the name of the currently selected user style. It's also more consistent with the way the 'userstyle/enabled' flag works.
Before, any call of Settings::SetDebugModeEnabled(true) would show it. This means that if the debugging UI is enabled, but the user manually closed the code widget, then toggling any option on the interface pane (such as "Pause on Focus Loss") would cause the code widget to reappear. Additionally, closing and reopening dolphin did not call SetDebugModeEnabled, so the code widget did not reappear in that case (it only appeared after touching the interface pane). This is a bit silly, so now only enabling the debugger does it.
This also somewhat resolves an inconsistency introduced by the previous commit: prior to it, --debugger would call SetDebugModeEnabled(true) and thus show the code pane; after these commits, it does not, as it acts like a config change. This is a behavior difference, but not a particularly important one.
This saves the GUI from having to manually call SDIO_EventNotify.
With that out of the way, we can let users change the
"Insert SD Card" setting on Android while a game is running.
Removed useless locks to DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex, as they were all already protected by m_devices_population_mutex.
We have no interest in blocking other threads that were potentially reading devices at the same time so this seems fine.
This simplifies the code, and I've adjusted a few comments which mentioned possible deadlock that should now be totally gone.
The deadlock could have happen if a thread directly called EmulatedController::UpdateReferences(), while another another thread also reached EmulatedController::UpdateReferences() within a call to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices(), as the mentioned function locked both the DeviceContainer::m_devices_mutex and s_get_state_mutex at the same time.
The deadlock was frequent on game emulation startup on Android, due to the UpdateReferences() call in InputConfig::LoadConfig() and the UI thread triggering calls to ControllerInterface::UpdateDevices().
It could also have happened on Desktop if a user pressed "Refresh Devices" manually in the UI while the input config was loading.
Also brought some UpdateReferences() comments and thread safety fixes from https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9489
While trying to work on adding audiodump support for CLI, I was alerted that it was important to first try moving the DSP configs to the new config before continuing, as that makes it substantially easier to write clean code to add such a feature.
This commit aims to allow for Dolphin to only rely on the new config for DSP-related settings.
Instead of having a single GUI checkbox for "Always Hide Mouse Cursor",
I have instead opted to use radio buttons so the user can swap between
different states of mouse visibility. "Movement" is the default
behavior, "Never" will hide the mouse cursor the entire time the game is
running, and "Always" will keep the mouse cursor always visible.

this prevented some devices from being recreated correctly, as they were exclusive (e.g. DInput Joysticks)
This is achieved by calling Settings::ReleaseDevices(), which releases all the UI devices shared ptrs.
If we are the host (Qt) thread, DevicesChanged() is now called in line, to avoid devices being hanged onto by the UI.
For this, I had to add a method to check whether we are the Host Thread to Qt.
Avoid calling ControllerInterface::RefreshDevices() from the CPU thread if the emulation is running
and we manually refresh devices from Qt, as that is not necessary anymore.
Refactored the way IOWindow lists devices to make it clearer and hold onto disconnected devices.
There were so many issues with the previous code:
-Devices changes would not be reflected until the window was re-opened
-If there was no default device, it would fail to select the device at index 0
-It could have crashed if we had 0 devices
-The default device was not highlighted as such
-Add pause state to FPSCounter.
-Add ability to have more than one "OnStateChanged" callback in core.
-Add GetActualEmulationSpeed() to Core. Returns 1 by default. It's used by my input PRs.
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
Other than the controller settings and JIT debug settings,
these are the only settings which were defined in Java code
but not defined in the new config system in C++. (There are
still a lot of settings that are defined in the new config
system but not yet saveable in the new config system, though.)
