In order to avoid getting stuck making a new dimension file every time a new device is found we take a known value for how large the game card will be, take the screen size, and adjust the grid accordingly.
Sometimes a gecko code would have a title long enough to appear over the checkbox. This is now prevented by marking the text's boundary a 16dp before the start of the checkbox.
When inflating this layout, the layout inflater doesn't expect a View and rather a descendant of ViewGroup. This resulted in a crash which is resolved by using a FrameLayout instead.
This adds PR 10890's new setting to the Android GUI. I'm curious to see
if any Android users might get a performance improvement from it.
Due to how our settings work on Android, I haven't implemented disabling
the checkbox when the graphics backend doesn't support both GS and VS
for point/line expansion, but I don't think that's critical to have.
This is the first step of getting rid of the controller indirection
on Android. (Needing a way for touch controls to provide input
to the emulator core is the reason why the controller indirection
exists to begin with as far as I understand it.)
Compared to the previous solution of using big `synchronized` blocks,
this makes GameFileCacheManager's executor thread release and re-lock
the lock when possible, giving the GUI thread a chance to do a
(comparatively) quick getOrAdd call if it needs to.
This reverts commit fb265b610d.
The optimization in that commit is safe when the executor thread is
writing and the GUI thread is reading, but I had failed to take into
account that it's unsafe when the GUI thread is writing and the executor
thread is reading. (The native UpdateAdditionalMetadata function loops
through m_cached_files, which is unsafe if another thread is adding
elements to m_cached_files simultaneously.)
Losing out on this optimization isn't too bad, because
719930bb39 makes it very unlikely that
both threads will want the lock at the same time.
Because of the previous commit, this is needed to stop DolphinQt from
forgetting that the user pressed ignore whenever any part of the config
is changed.
This commit also changes the behavior a bit on DolphinQt: "Ignore for
this session" now applies to the current emulation session instead of
the current Dolphin launch. This matches how it already worked on
Android, and is in my opinion better because it means the user won't
lose out on important panic alerts in a game becase they played another
game first that had repeated panic alerts that they wanted to ignore.
For Android, this commit isn't necessary, but it makes the code cleaner.
If GameFile.getCustomCoverPath returns a mangled URI, we need to
unmangle it before passing it to Picasso, since Picasso has no
concept of Dolphin's mangled URIs.
In the past, directory initialization could fail for two reasons:
The user was rejecting the storage permission, or external storage
wasn't mounted. With the introduction of scoped storage, the first of
these two couldn't happen anymore; if the user rejects the storage
permission, we just use the app-specific directory instead of the
dolphin-emu directory.
By making it so Dolphin force quits if external storage isn't mounted,
we can get rid of our code for handling retrying directory initialization
after it fails. I think this slight hit to UX is worth it considering
that basically nobody has an Android device with detachable primary
external storage anymore. And the UX hit is very small; the user just has
to manually open the app again after remounting external storage. The
toast about external storage not being mounted will still be displayed.
The recent merge of the splash screen PR may have made it so that the
code for handling directory initialization failing doesn't work anymore.
To be completely honest, I'm not sure how to even test this in 2022.
For a few years now, I've been thinking it would be nice to make Dolphin
support reading Wii games in the format they come in when you download
them from the Wii U eShop. The Wii U eShop has some good deals on Wii
games (Metroid Prime Trilogy especially is rather expensive if you try
to buy it physically!), and it's the only place right now where you can
buy Wii games digitally.
Of course, Nintendo being Nintendo, next year they're going to shut down
this only place where you can buy Wii games digitally. I kind of wish I
had implemented this feature earlier so that people would've had ample
time to buy the games they want, but... better late than never, right?
I used MIT-licensed code from the NOD library as a reference when
implementing this. None of the code has been directly copied, but
you may notice that the names of the struct members are very similar.

Without this, if the user finishes selecting a directory before
directory initialization finishes, MainPresenter.onDirectorySelected
will segfault when trying to read the MAIN_RECURSIVE_ISO_PATHS setting.
An alternative would be to use AfterDirectoryInitializationRunner
after the user selects the directory instead of before, but it might
be confusing for the user to deal with the usage statistics prompt
when they were expecting to add a folder.
All of our BBA options are technically built in, so it made the BBA
Built In option kind of confusing as to what it did. So rename it to
BBA HLE to make it more clear what it is doing and why it doesn't need a
TAP.
We currently have two different code paths for initializing controllers:
Either the frontend (DolphinQt) can do it, or if the frontend doesn't do
it, the core will do it automatically when booting. Having these two
paths has caused problems in the past due to only one frontend being
tested (see de7ef47548). I would like to get rid of the latter path to
avoid further problems like this.
