EmulationActivity has an instance of Settings. If you go to
SettingsActivity from EmulationActivity and change some settings,
the changes get saved to disk, but EmulationActivity's Settings
instance still contains the old settings in its map of all
settings (assuming the EmulationActivity was not killed by the
system to save memory). Then, once you're done playing your
game and exit EmulationActivity, EmulationActivity calls
Settings.saveSettings. This call to saveSettings first overwrites
the entire INI file with its map of all settings (which is
outdated) in order to save any legacy settings that have changed
(which they haven't, since the GUI doesn't let you change legacy
settings while a game is running). Then, it asks the new config
system to write the most up-to-date values available for non-legacy
settings, which should make all the settings be up-to-date again.
The problem here is that the new config system would skip writing
to disk if no settings changes had been made since the last time
we asked it to write to disk (i.e. since SettingsActivity exited).
NB: Calling Settings.loadSettings in EmulationActivity.onResume
is not a working solution. I assume this is because
SettingsActivity saves its settings in onStop and not onPause.
This is already handled by SurfaceDestroyed. In the worst case,
the extra code could even race with SurfaceDestroyed if they
are triggered at the same time, but this is highly improbable.
Time for yet another new iteration of working around the
"surface destruction during boot" problem...
This time, the strategy is to use a mutex in MainAndroid.cpp.
We generally have no reason to call these functions on our own, so
there's not much reason to declare them, especially not in the cpp
file where they're defined. In case we ever do get a reason to do
it, we can add declarations for just the functions that need them.
During emulation, when LocalGame has a value but CurrentRun
doesn't, we want to read from LocalGame, not CurrentRun. This
change exposes a LAYER_ACTIVE option that handles this correctly.
The main activity loads settings essentially as soon as it
starts, in order to determine which tab to show. If the process
of stopping emulation has not finished at this point, a race
condition may be triggered where two IOS kernels are created
at once due to the emulation thread loading or saving the
SYSCONF while the GUI thread is loading the SYSCONF. To fix
this, we can wait for emulation to fully end before returning.
Because this race condition is hard to reproduce, I have not
been able to test that this actually fixes the race condition,
or even that the cause of the race condition is exactly what I
believe it is. But I am relatively confident.
I was hoping we would be able to pull in the default values
from C++, but it seems like more trouble than it's worth,
partially because of different settings having default values
of different types and partially because we don't have any
convenient way to get a list of all C++ settings.
The functions with "UTF" in the name use "modified UTF-8" rather
than the standard UTF-8 which Dolphin uses, at least according
to Oracle's documentation, so it is incorrect for us to use them.
This change fixes the problem by converting between UTF-8 and
UTF-16 manually instead of letting JNI do it for us.
Currently, the touch controller overlay uses a square gate for
sticks. This commit changes that so that it instead uses the
stick gate configured in the INI, which ensures that the values
sent to the core are appropriately scaled regardless of what
is configured in the INI and makes the overlay look nicer
if the INI is set to a stick gate that matches the graphics.
The workaround was added in 0446a58.
The underlying problem is that we must not destroy the surface
while the video backend is initializing, otherwise the video
backend may reference nullptr.
I've also cleaned up the logic for when to destroy the surface.
Note that the comment in EmulationFragment.java about only being
able to destroy the surface when emulation is running is not true
anymore (due to de632fc, it seems like).
This feature was originally exclusive to the previous iteration of
DolphinQt (the one that was the reason for the current iteration
being named DolphinQt2 initially).

Much of our native code assumes that UICommon::Init has been called
(for reasons such as wanting to access the user's settings),
so not calling it until emulation start heavily limits what native
code we can use in the Android GUI (except during emulation).
We can use std::array and const char* to make these capable of fully
being stored in the read-only segment, and get rid of a few static
constructors (144 of them).
Avoids dragging in IniFile, EXI device and SI device headers in this header which is
quite widely used throughout the codebase.
This also uncovered a few cases where indirect inclusions were being
relied upon, which this also fixes.
This allows us to update the rich presence description if a channel
is launched from the Wii Menu. It also handles other PPC title
launches, e.g. Smash Bros. Masterpieces.
Host.h: Added Host_TitleChanged().
DolphinNoGUI/MainNoGUI.cpp: Implemented Host_TitleChanged().
DolphinQt/Host.cpp: Implemented Host_TitleChanged().
Android/jni/MainAndroid.cpp: Stubbed Host_TitleChanged().
DSPTool/StubHost.cpp: Stubbed Host_TitleChanged().
UnitTests/StubHost.cpp: Stubbed Host_TitleChanged().
The difference between Dolphin's game IDs and GameTDB's game IDs
is that GameTDB uses four characters for non-disc titles, whereas
Dolphin uses six characters for all titles.
This fixes:
- TitleDatabase considering Datel discs to be NHL Hitz 2002
- Gecko code downloading not working for discs with IDs starting with P
- Cover downloading mixing up discs with channels (e.g. Mario Kart Wii
and Mario Kart Channel) and making extra HTTP requests. (Android was
actually doing a better job at this than DolphinQt!)
