They have been broken since 2 years and no one has noticed,
which shows that no one really cares.
And it's arguable whether showing the CPU info is really useful.
I don't see any reason to disable loading the IPL if bHLE_BS2 is
disabled. bHLE_BS2 should only cause us not to run the IPL, but not
skip loading it in the first place. More importantly, without always
loading it, this causes issues when trying to launch only the GC IPL
while having bHLE_BS2 = false.
They're essentially the same. To achieve this, this commit unifies
DolReader and ElfReader into a common interface for boot executable
readers, so the only remaining difference between ELF and DOL is
how which volume is inserted.
* Move out boot parameters to a separate struct, which is not part
of SConfig/ConfigManager because there is no reason for it to
be there.
* Move out file name parsing and constructing the appropriate params
from paths to a separate function that does that, and only that.
* For every different boot type we support, add a proper struct with
only the required parameters, with descriptive names and use
std::variant to only store what we need.
* Clean up the bHLE_BS2 stuff which made no sense sometimes. Now
instead of using bHLE_BS2 for two different things, both for storing
the user config setting and as a runtime boot parameter,
we simply replace the Disc boot params with BootParameters::IPL.
* Const correctness so it's clear what can or cannot update the config.
* Drop unused parameters and unneeded checks.
* Make a few checks a lot more concise. (Looking at you, extension
checks for disc images.)
* Remove a mildly terrible workaround where we needed to pass an empty
string in order to boot the GC IPL without any game inserted.
(Not required anymore thanks to std::variant and std::optional.)
The motivation for this are multiple: cleaning up and being able to add
support for booting an installed NAND title. Without this change, it'd
be pretty much impossible to implement that.
Also, using std::visit with std::variant makes the compiler do
additional type checks: now we're guaranteed that the boot code will
handle all boot types and no invalid boot type will be possible.
I didn't know better back then, but the boot type is only supposed to
be used for the actual boot params. It shouldn't be used or changed
after booting.
