OpenALStream was querying the backend for AL_EXT_float32 support (which
suceeds), but AL_FORMAT_STEREO_FLOAT32 was defined incorrectly.
Also changes OpenALStream to query for AL_EXT_MCFORMATS (multichannel
support) rather than hard-coding that it doesn't work on macOS.
They have been broken since 2 years and no one has noticed,
which shows that no one really cares.
And it's arguable whether showing the CPU info is really useful.
I don't see any reason to disable loading the IPL if bHLE_BS2 is
disabled. bHLE_BS2 should only cause us not to run the IPL, but not
skip loading it in the first place. More importantly, without always
loading it, this causes issues when trying to launch only the GC IPL
while having bHLE_BS2 = false.
They're essentially the same. To achieve this, this commit unifies
DolReader and ElfReader into a common interface for boot executable
readers, so the only remaining difference between ELF and DOL is
how which volume is inserted.
* Move out boot parameters to a separate struct, which is not part
of SConfig/ConfigManager because there is no reason for it to
be there.
* Move out file name parsing and constructing the appropriate params
from paths to a separate function that does that, and only that.
* For every different boot type we support, add a proper struct with
only the required parameters, with descriptive names and use
std::variant to only store what we need.
* Clean up the bHLE_BS2 stuff which made no sense sometimes. Now
instead of using bHLE_BS2 for two different things, both for storing
the user config setting and as a runtime boot parameter,
we simply replace the Disc boot params with BootParameters::IPL.
* Const correctness so it's clear what can or cannot update the config.
* Drop unused parameters and unneeded checks.
* Make a few checks a lot more concise. (Looking at you, extension
checks for disc images.)
* Remove a mildly terrible workaround where we needed to pass an empty
string in order to boot the GC IPL without any game inserted.
(Not required anymore thanks to std::variant and std::optional.)
The motivation for this are multiple: cleaning up and being able to add
support for booting an installed NAND title. Without this change, it'd
be pretty much impossible to implement that.
Also, using std::visit with std::variant makes the compiler do
additional type checks: now we're guaranteed that the boot code will
handle all boot types and no invalid boot type will be possible.
I didn't know better back then, but the boot type is only supposed to
be used for the actual boot params. It shouldn't be used or changed
after booting.
You may want to read the PR #2047 comments before reading this.
Dolphin attempts to support an unencrypted type of Wii discs
that apparently is identified by a 4-byte integer at 0x60
being non-zero. I don't know what discs (if any) would be
using that format, so I haven't been able to test Dolphin's
support for it, but it has probably been broken for a while.
The old implementation is very short but also strange.
In CreateVolumeFromFilename, we read a 4-byte integer from
0x60, and if it's non-zero, we create a CVolumeGC object
instead of a CVolumeWiiCrypted object. This might seem like
it makes no sense, but it presumably worked in the past
because IsVolumeWiiDisc used to check the volume type by
reading the magic word for Wii straight from the disc,
meaning that CVolumeGC objects representing unencrypted Wii
discs would be treated as Wii discs by pretty much all of
Dolphin's code except for the volume implementation code.
(It wasn't possible to simply use CVolumeWiiCrypted, because
that class only handled encrypted discs, like the name says.)
However, that stopped working as intended because of ace0607.
And furthermore, bb93336 made it even more broken by making
parts of Dolphin expect that data read from Wii discs needed
to be decrypted (rather than the volume implementation
implicitly deciding whether to decrypt when Read was called).
Disclaimer: Like I said before, I haven't been able to test
any of this because I don't have any discs that use this
unencrypted Wii disc format, so this is all theoretical.
Later, PR #2047 tried to remove Dolphin's support for
the unencrypted Wii disc format because seemingly no
discs used it, but the PR got closed without being merged.
At the end of that PR, I said that I would make a new PR
with a better implementation for the format after PR #2353
was merged. Now that PR #2353 is merged (two years later...)
and PR #5521 is merged, the new implementation was easy to
make, and here it is!
Untested.
Normal users don't care about it. In fact, people care so
little about it that the Wii implementation of it was broken
starting from when it was implemented (eb65601) to 7 years
later (e0a47c1), apparently without anyone reporting it.
