Adds a tickbox to the server's window to syncronize codes. Codes
are temporarily sent to each client and are used for the duration of the
session.
Saves the "sync codes" tickbox as per PR Netplay: Properly save hosting
settings #7483
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.
Problem is that USBDeviceAddToWhitelistDialog starts a timer once created to poll for devices every second. In Qt, closing a heap-allocated dialog doesn't delete it, so it keeps on polling. This fix is to allocate dialog on the stack, then use "exec" to run it modally without returning. Once closed, the stack instance will get destroyed, thus killing the timer.
Gecko codes are a core foundation of most netplay sessions and most general modding cases. It has gone so far as to now have an ini for almost every game.
After the massive UI overhaul, the gecko code sorting defaults to Alphabetical with no option to change it. This removes the possibility for netplay builds to have important and necessary codes at the top for easy selecting, and removes the ability to sort massive code lists in categories.
This will also make the sorting consistent with AR codes, which are sorted manually.
* 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
The current approach results in the UI thread creating a graphics device
whilst the core is running, leading to races on function pointers, and
potentially crashing.
Currently, each player buffers their own inputs and sends them to the
host. The host then relays those inputs to everyone else. Every player
waits on inputs from all players to be buffered before continuing. What
this means is all clients run in lockstep, and the total latency of
inputs cannot be lower than the sum of the 2 highest client ping times
in the game (in 3+ player sessions with people across the world, the
latency can be very high).
Host input authority mode changes it so players no longer buffer their
own inputs, and only send them to the host. The host stores only the
most recent input received from a player. The host then sends inputs
for all pads at the SI poll interval, similar to the existing code. If
a player sends inputs to slowly, their last received input is simply
sent again. If they send too quickly, inputs are dropped. This means
that the host has full control over what inputs are actually read by
the game, hence the name of the mode. Also, because the rate at which
inputs are received by SI is decoupled from the rate at which players
are sending inputs, clients are no longer dependent on each other. They
only care what the host is doing. This means that they can set their
buffer individually based on their latency to the host, rather than the
highest latency between any 2 players, allowing someone with lower ping
to the host to have less latency than someone else.
This is a catch to this: as a necessity of how the host's input sending
works, the host has 0 latency. There isn't a good way to fix this, as
input delay is now solely dependent on the real latency to the host's
server. Having differing latency between players would be considered
unfair for competitive play, but for casual play we don't really care.
For this reason though, combined with the potential for a few inputs to
be dropped on a bad connection, the old mode will remain and this new
mode is entirely optional.

Most settings which affect determinism will now be synced on NetPlay.
Additionally, there's a strict sync mode which will sync various
enhancements to prevent desync in games that use EFB reads.
This also adds a check for all players having the IPL.bin file, and
doesn't load it for anyone if someone is missing it. This prevents
desyncs caused by mismatched system fonts.
Additionally, the NetPlay window was getting too wide with checkboxes,
so FlowLayout has been introduced to make the checkboxes take up
multiple rows dynamically. However, there's some minor vertical
centering issues I haven't been able to solve, but it's better than a
ridiculously wide window.
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.
Lessens the amount of files that have to be recompiled if
ConfigManager.h is modified. This also removes an indirect inclusion
within DolphinQt/Main.cpp.
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 we wouldn't indicate if saving or loading these files
happened to fail. In some cases we'd only print out to the logger, but
this is a pretty poor way to tell a user of the interface that something
went wrong in a direct way (the logging messages aren't able to be localized
either).
When disabled only inputs from TAS dialog are used.
When enabled inputs from TAS dialog are used, except when a change in
input is detected from a real controller, in this case the TAS value is
replaced with the real controller value.
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.
fileplatform is moved so it's in the same place as the other platform
icons, and nobanner is moved just because it fits better in Resources.
Both of them were identical in all of Dolphin's themes.
* Confirm stopping emulation when the window is closing, not just the "Stop" button
* Don't resume if we were already paused when we got the quit event

HBC uses files named icon.png for icons. This change makes Dolphin
support that file name, and also [executable file name].png
in case someone wants to have multiple files in one folder.
The HBC banner support is mainly intended for DOL and ELF files,
but it can also be used to override banners of disc images,
something that wasn't possible in the past.
That sure was simple compared to the wx version of this commit...
Games without banners were not cached before, because a banner could
become available at any time, making the cache outdated without it
becoming invalidated. Instead of not caching anything, this change makes
Dolphin check for a banner every time a cache that lacks a banner is read.
This is faster than reading all metadata, because reading a Wii banner
only reads from the game's save file, not the volume and its filesystem.
The cache revision is incremented, because otherwise banners will be
missing if a cache without a banner is created in the new version and
the user switches to an old version and creates a savefile.
GC games with long names store two variations of the name in
opening.bnr. This makes the shorter of those names available.
For volumes other than GC discs, prefer_long is ignored.
ISOFile and GameFile were using IsWiiDisc() and IsWadFile() to set
an enum value. The volume might as well return an enum directly.
I increased the Qt CACHE_REVISION because m_platform now is saved as u32
instead of int, but increasing the wx CACHE_REVISION is not necessary.
Eventually, netplay will be able to use the host's NAND, but this could
still be useful in some cases; for TAS it definitely makes sense to have
a way to avoid using any preexisting NAND.
In terms of implementation: remove D_WIIUSER_IDX, which was just WIIROOT
+ "/", as well as some other indices which are pointless to have as
separate variables rather than just using the actual path (fixed, since
they're actual Wii NAND paths) at the call site. Then split off
D_SESSION_WIIROOT_IDX, which can point to the dummy NAND directory, from
D_WIIROOT_IDX, which always points to the "real" one the user
configured.
- FileSearch is now just one function, and it converts the original glob
into a regex on all platforms rather than relying on native Windows
pattern matching on there and a complete hack elsewhere. It now
supports recursion out of the box rather than manually expanding
into a full list of directories in multiple call sites.
- This adds a GCC >= 4.9 dependency due to older versions having
outright broken <regex>. MSVC is fine with it.
- ScanDirectoryTree returns the parent entry rather than filling parts
of it in via reference. The count is now stored in the entry like it
was for subdirectories.
- .glsl file search is now done with DoFileSearch.
- IOCTLV_READ_DIR now uses ScanDirectoryTree directly and sorts the
results after replacements for better determinism.
This is written so that the result of GetCompanyFromID never is cached
(except on Android?). Caching is unnecessary because the string can be
obtained quickly at runtime, and not caching it means that the cache
doesn't have to be invalidated when GetCompanyFromID is edited.
Replaces them with forward declarations of used types, or removes them entirely if they aren't used at all. This also replaces certain Common headers with less inclusive ones (in terms of definitions they pull in).
Having some data available in banner loaders and some other data
data available in volumes gets messy, especially with GetNames(),
which is available in both but returns different results
depending on which one is used. This change drops support
for reading names and descriptions from Wii save data.
This makes the code cleaner and also leads to some user-visible changes:
The wx game properties will no longer let the user
select WAD languages that don't have any names.
The Qt game list will now display names using the languages
set in the configuration instead of always using
English for PAL GC games and Japanese for WADs.
If a WAD doesn't have a name in the user's preferred language,
English is now selected as a fallback before Japanese.
