Now that we have some test data, it wasn't showing up in the leaderboards tab; this fixes it to ensure (1) that the right ID is being passed to UpdateRow and (2) the map of leaderboard entries is being populated correctly.
Currently we're showing OSD messages for unknown patches in known INI
files, but not for unknown patches in unknown INI files. I don't think
this distinction makes much sense to the user. If there's a patch the
user can't use, they probably want to be aware of that fact.
0c14b0c8a7 made Dolphin load a file from
the Sys folder the first time AchievementManager::GetInstance() is
called. Because Android calls AchievementManager::GetInstance() from
setBackgroundExecutionAllowedNative, this had two negative consequences
on Android:
1. The first time setBackgroundExecutionAllowedNative gets called is
often before directory initialization is done. Getting the path of
the Sys folder before directory initialization is done causes a crash.
2. setBackgroundExecutionAllowedNative is called from the GUI thread,
and we don't want file I/O on the GUI thread for performance reasons.
This change makes us load the data from the Sys folder the first time
the data is needed instead. This also saves us from having to load the
data at all when hardcore mode is inactive.
We mustn't use m_system when it is nullptr. This was causing Dolphin to
crash on Android whenever an activity was recreated or resumed while
emulation is running, which is super common.
Prototype of a system to whitelist known game patches that are allowed to be used while RetroAchievements Hardcore mode is active. ApprovedInis.txt contains known hashes for the ini files as they appear in the repo, and can be compared to the local versions of these files to ensure they have not been edited locally by the player. ApprovedInis.txt is hashed and verified similarly first, with its hash residing as a const string within AchievementManager.h, ensuring ApprovedInis and the hashes within cannot be modified without editing Dolphin's source code and recompiling completely.
The challenge popups have proven to be excessive and are no longer useful thanks to the achievements hotkey. Instead, those events will ask for an immediate RP-level update to the achievements dialog, which will among other things re-sort the dialog to show challenges on top faster.
There are two pieces of functionality to be added here. One, we want to disallow pausing too frequently, as it may be used as an artificial slowdown. This is handled within the client, which can tell us if a pause is allowed. Two, we want to call rc_client_idle on a periodic basis so the connection with the server can be maintained even while the emulator is paused.
