So that it contains the current commit and not an arbitrary date that
may or may not be up-to-date. This will cause tears as people will not
be able to use netplay with one diverging commit that does not touch
anything related. On the other hand, users can’t be trusted.
When there are no games to display in the game list, DolphinWX shows a
message instead. Clicking the message will perform an action. If the game
list truly is empty, the message and action are for opening a browse
dialog, but if the user has hidden some games, they are instead for
unhiding all games. However, the condition for checking which message to
display lacked some parts that are in the condition for checking which
action to use, so the two could be different in rare cases. This PR fixes
that by breaking out the two conditions to a new unified function.
People who make texture packs usually release them using a specific ID
(for instance SX4E01). Users who have a different version of the game
(like the PAL version SX4P01) then need to rename the custom texture
folder to match. This is a lot simpler than renaming every texture file,
as was required with the old texture format, but it's still something
that users can forget to do. To make that unnecessary, this change makes
it possible to use three-character region-free IDs for custom texture
folders, similarly to how game INIs can use three-character IDs. Once
most people have updated to Dolphin versions that include this change,
those who make texture packs will be able to name them with
three-character IDs, removing the need for users to rename anything.
No way to properly enable it from an end user perspective yet.
Doesn't require root.
This same sort of system can be used for the Dolphinbar in the future for real wiimote support.
Dolphin has supported the recalibration shortcut (X+Y+Start) for quite a long while. So if someont's axises are terrible, you could easily
recalibrate.
Games even get the initial calibration upon boot(Most of the time).
While changing over the GCAdapter code, I was testing to make sure the reset and calibration shortcuts still worked, turns out they didn't work at
all.
Looking in to the problem, we capture the combination properly, and we wait three seconds until we actually fire that off recalibration.
The problem is for Nintendo's SDK to properly handle recalibrating, we need to send back data saying that it needs to recalibrate.
On hardware this is done as part of the 64bits of data the controller sends back to us.
On holding of the controller, bit 61 of the return value is set, which the Nintendo SDK catches, and then signals immediately afterwards a CMD_ORIGIN
command in order to recalibrate the controller.
We were outright ignoring this bit, so the library wasn't ever recalibrating. I suspect in the past the class itself used to use the calibration data
to to offset the data, but somewhere along the lines it got munged out of existence.
The Gamecube adapter does this shortcut in a bit of a unique way, instead of sending the command and having the library support it and what have you.
Once holding the shortcut for the amount of time, the adapter reports back that the controller has actually been disconnected. Then when you let go of
the combination, the adapter states that a new device has been connected to that port, and the recalibration happens because a new device is
"connected."
This fixes controller calibration for both emulated GC controllers and also the Wii Gamecube Adapter.
