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).
Showing the Wii remote connection status leads to inconsistent UX,
because we don't do anything like that for GameCube controllers
or with Bluetooth passthrough.
It's also questionable how useful it is given that:
* it doesn't print the number of connected remotes, just that one
remote is connected, connecting or not connected, so the only info
it provides is actually wrong when using multiple remotes;
* this user-facing feature is actually broken in master and no one has
complained AFAIK, which means people don't really rely on it;
* the status bar isn't visible most of the time unless the user is
using render to main or deliberately keeping the main window's
status bar visible by moving the render window and they're not too
far away from their screen;
* emulated Wii remotes now reconnect on input, which means that there
is less of a need to actually know at all times whether a remote
is connected, since pressing any button will reconnect it and provide
immediate, visible feedback via OSD messages and the Wii remote
pointer appearing.
Rather than returning 0 / not creating an expected SI interrupt. You can
test this by running VBA-M in a debugger and stopping it while it's
connected to Dolphin: on current master, Dolphin will freeze-up until it
gets a response. With this PR, Dolphin will gracefully disconnect the device, and reconnect if it starts responding again.
Tracking a buffer's size manually and storing it under a name that
does not make it obvious it is related to the buffer is really... meh.
Also gets rid of the need to manually manage its capacity and
new/delete an array.
This commit merges the import and export contexts into a single context
because this is what IOS does, which means we can only reproduce its
behaviour correctly if we use a single context for both operations.
The other reason is that having two separate and very similar structs
is not really a good idea.
While working on this commit, I was notified that our handling of
ImportTmd/ExportTitleInit is not correct. In particular, we always use
the title key for both importing and exporting, which is wrong. To make
this easier to fix in a follow-up PR, the context now also has a title
key field, just like ES. This also lets us avoid computing it every
single time in ImportContentDone.
Allows them to be reused easily. Still a bit too much duplicated code
in my opinion (OpenContent/SeekContent/ReadContent should just call
FS code), but this is a start.
