Replace it with a function-local static that is initialized on first
use. This gets rid of a global variable and removes the need for
manual initialization in UICommon.
This commit also replaces the weird find_if that looks for a non-null
unique_ptr with a simple "is vector empty" check considering that
none of the pointers can be null by construction.
Currently, we do not display every second frame in 25fps/30fps games
which run to vsync. This improves performance as there's less rendering
for the GPU to perform, but when combined with vsync, could cause frame
pacing issues.
This commit adds an option to force every frame generated by the console
to be displayed to the host, which may improve pacing for these games.
These were marked as translatable in DolphinWX but not DolphinQt,
yet both DolphinWX and DolphinQt tried to fetch translations for them.
This meant that translations worked in both DolphinWX and DolphinQt
back when DolphinWX existed, but that translations stopped working
in DolphinQt once DolphinWX was removed (because the removal of
DolphinWX triggered the removal of the strings from the .po files).
This adds an ini-only setting under GFX.ini -> [Settings] ->
MaxInternalResolution. Setting this will allow the user to select
resolutions beyond the default 8x max scale in graphics options.
QStringLiterals generate a buffer so that during runtime there's very
little cost to constructing a QString. However, this also means that
duplicated strings cannot be optimized out into a single entry that gets
referenced everywhere, taking up space in the binary.
Rather than use QStringLiteral(""), we can just use QString{} (the
default constructor) to signify the empty string. This gets rid of an
unnecessary string buffer from being created, saving a tiny bit of
space.
While we're at it, we can just use the character overloads of particular
functions when they're available instead of using a QString overload.
The characters in this case are Latin-1 to begin with, so we can just
specify the characters as QLatin1Char instances to use those overloads.
These will automatically convert to QChar if needed, so this is safe.
It already is disabled for other backends, but this didn't happen with the software renderer. Attempting to change it while running causes the change to visually happen (including switching to the normal render settings UI instead of the barren one for the software renderer), but doesn't actually change the backend itself (it'll still use the software renderer at the next launch).
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.
