At some point SetCRFieldBit was modified to operate on RSCRATCH, but the
function was only partially changed. As such, setting SO, GT or LT would
write the right bit to cr_field, but then cr_field would just get
overwritten with RSCRATCH, undoing the work.
Behaviorally, this belongs within the netplay client. The server will
always transmit a known RTC value, so it doesn't even need a global for
this. Given the client receives the packet containing said RTC value, we can
store it as a member variable and provide an accessor for reading that
value.
This removes another global variable within the netplay code.
The idea of this code was to not unroll loops, but it was completely broken.
So we've unrolled all loops, but only up to the second iteration.
Honestly, a better check would test if we branch to code which is already in the compiling block. But this is out of scope for now.
But testing shows that this unrolling actually improve the performance. So instead of fixing this bug, this check can be dropped.
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.
This is accomplished by having SConfig::GetDirectoryForRegion no longer
return nullptr, as doing that was kind silly, considering we never
check for nullptr.
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 option completely disabled the DCBZ instruction. Users are toggling
this option in dolphin forks and using that same problematic config when
launching dolphin. Removing the option from dolphin will let the config be
ignored.
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.
Our usage of glFinish() can cause driver crashes and/or lockups.
Please note that this disables the background shader compilation (i.e.
all shaders will be compiled on boot). There is no way around this.
