Before we used different way of identifying which settings menu to
show, someotimes we used the section name, other times we used the
settings file name. This one replaces all those different ways by just
one way based on a menu tag which is more clear and easy to follow.
Makes the enum values strongly-typed and prevents the identifiers from
polluting the PowerPC namespace. This also cleans up the parameters of
some functions where we were accepting an ambiguous int type and
expecting the correct values to be passed in.
Now those parameters accept a PowerPC::CPUCore type only, making it
immediately obvious which values should be passed in. It also turns out
we were storing these core types into other structures as plain ints,
which have also been corrected.
As this type is used directly with the configuration code, we need to
provide our own overloaded insertion (<<) and extraction (>>) operators
in order to make it compatible with it. These are fairly trivial to
implement, so there's no issue here.
A minor adjustment to TryParse() was required, as our generic function
was doing the following:
N tmp = 0;
which is problematic, as custom types may not be able to have that
assignment performed (e.g. strongly-typed enums), so we change this to:
N tmp;
which is sufficient, as the value is attempted to be initialized
immediately under that statement.
Deduplicates code, and gets rid of some problems the old code had
(such as: bad performance when calling native functions, only one
disc showing up for multi-disc games, Wii banners being low-res,
unnecessarily much effort being needed for adding more metadata).
Given this is actually a part of the Host interface, this should be
placed with it.
While we're at it, turn it into an enum class so that we don't dump its
contained values into the surrounding scope. We can also make
Host_Message take the enum type itself directly instead of taking a
general int value.
After this, it'll be trivial to divide out the rest of Common.h and
remove the header from the repository entirely
Skip ubershader mode works the same as hybrid ubershaders in that the
shaders are compiled asynchronously. However, instead of using the
ubershader to draw the object, it skips it entirely until the
specialized shader is made available.
This mode will likely result in broken effects where a game creates an
EFB copy, and does not redraw it every frame. Therefore, it is not a
recommended option, however, it may result in better performance on
low-end systems.
9fa2470 changed how the ubershader setting is stored in INIs but didn't
update the Android GUI code to reflect that, so the setting in the
Android GUI has been broken starting with that commit.

Previously, this could cause a race condition which resulted in the
Vulkan backend attempting to acquire a swap chain image from a now
non-existant surface. By ensuring the backend knows about the surface
before a frame is presented, this race does not happen.
Android is allowed to pick any path for the external storage media and
that's why we should always use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
to get the external storage path
onCreateView might not be called after resuming the emulatoin wich will
leed the game to stuck in the middle since mRunWhenSurfaceIsValid will be
true but surfaceChanged will never be called in this case.
If Animator Duration Scale is Off, the Enhancements/Hacks screens were
not visible unless you enable the Animator Duration Scale back. This
make sure screens will be visible regardless of your animation settings.
Modified NativeLibrary to display alerts in AlertDialogs rather than Toast notifications, and allow yes/no options.
Modified MainAndroid to use the new displayAlertMsg, and to return its output.
1. Allow users to pick games dircetory from external storage.
2. Better UX experince to distinguish between selecting a directory or
a game. The later is needed when we implement change disk for android.
1) Most of the times the native heap is kept around even after the activity
is killed, we can ask the native code if it is still running and resume
the emulation if that is the case.
2) In case the native heap is freed and the emulation can't resume we used
a temporary state to load on the game boot.
I couldn't find a way to test this, if you want to test this schnario,
add this block to EmulationFragment.
public void onDestroy()
{
stopEmulation();
super.onDestroy();
}
onDestroy is only called if the acivity killed by the OS and not be rotation
change whihch in this case will make sure to kill the emulation and start
again when the activiy is re-created.
Note: By "HandleInit" in this commit message, I mean the code that is
in HandleInit in master except the part that launches EmulationActivity.
In other words, I mean the call to SetUserDirectory and the call to
DirectoryInitializationService.startService. Couldn't think of
something more accurate to call that than "HandleInit"...
In master, HandleInit only runs when the main activity is launched.
This is a problem if the app ends up being launched in some other way,
such as resuming EmulationActivity after the app has been killed in
order to reclaim memory. It's important that we run HandleInit, because
otherwise the native code won't know where the User and Sys folders are.
In order to implement this, I'm dropping the ability to set a custom
User folder in an intent. I don't think anyone is using that anyway.
It's not impossible to support it, but I can't see a way to support
it that doesn't involve something ugly like having code for calling
HandleInit in every activity (or at least MainActivity + TvMainActivity
+ EmulationActivity, with more activities potentially needing it in
the future if we expand the usage of native code for e.g. settings).
If we want to support setting a custom user directory, we should
consider another way to do it, such as a setting that's stored in
getFilesDir() or getExternalStorageDirectory(). Intents are intended
to control the behavior of a specific activity, not the whole app.
You will see an empty gc pad settings screen until you open any other
settings screen and change something, at that moment the Dolphin.ini will
be created and the gc pad settings will be loaded successfully the next
time you open the screen.
This fixes the bug by putting the default gc pad settings section even if
the Dolphin.ini file doesn't exist
This solves the following issues:
1. If user uninstall Dolphin and install it again the resources will
not be copied unless the user manually clear the app cache because we
are enabling the allowBackup flag in the manifest which will make the app
restore the settings saved in the shared prefernces including the flag
assetsCopied. This PR always copy the files everytime you open Dolphin.
2. If the AssetCopyService took long time and you tried to open the settings
screen or start a game the behaviour was not expected or the emulator will
crash, this PR make sure that whatever we add to the DirectoryInitializationService
or how long it will take will still work as expected by blocking both
the settings screen and the emulaion screen to wait untill all resources
needed are copied.
3. Better communication between the DirectoryInitializationService and the
UI screens using brocast messages.
This only works if GCPadNew.ini and Dolphin.ini files are not already in the dolphin config folder. Any advice would be helpful. I'd really like to tackle the UI and wiring for deadzones, radius, etc.
This has no effect now, as we've never bumped the database version.
Instead, it adds future proofing, and makes moving between a future
version with a bump and master clean.
Now that all inputs are corrected to zero-centered, we can use getFlat()
to ignore movements that are just noise.
This eliminates a lot of drift when the controller is at rest, notably
on the character select screen in Melee.
Android reports the same physical axis multiple times for analog
triggers, and this handles this case.
There are also some controllers with broken mappings (eg the analog
triggers on a PS4 DualShock 4). These axis don't center correctly.
There are also some controllers (again, the PS4) that send both a button
press and an axis movement. This ignores the buttons so we can use the
analog axis. Otherwise, since the button comes before the axis moves
far we would always take the button.
This reverts commit 1fc910b3ea,
replacing the old INI setting EFBScale with a new INI setting
called InternalResolution, which has a simpler mapping:
| EFBScale | InternalResolution
----------------- | -------------------- | --------------------
Auto (fractional) | 0 |
Auto (integral) | 1 | 0
1x | 2 | 1
1.5x | 3 |
2x | 4 | 2
2.5x | 5 |
3x | 6 | 3
4x | 7 | 4
5x | 8 | 5
6x | 9 | 6
All the fractional IRs were removed in f090a943.
Emulation needs to be running when the surface is destroyed, but we want
to pause in onStop. So call the surfaceDestroyed callback, as this
accomplished both.
The source Views don't need the transition name. We could get the name
from the sharedView via getTransitionName, but since the TV
ImageCardView isn't inflated in XML it would be to be manually set.
I'm not sure if that would be any cleaner than this.
