The way I'm implementing events using LiveData feels rather
unorthodox, but I'm not aware of anything in the Android framework
that would let me do it in a better way... One option I did
consider was wrapping the cheat lists in LiveData and observing
those, but then CheatsAdapter wouldn't know which cheat had
changed, only that there was some kind of change to the list,
necessitating the use of the not recommended notifyDataSetChanged.
This path isn't really any faster in the normal case,
but it does let us skip waiting for the lock to be available,
which makes a huge difference if the lock is already taken.
It seems like we spend a lot of the game list scanning time in
updateAdditionalMetadata, which I suppose makes sense considering
how many different files that function attempts to open.
With the addition of just one little atomic operation, we can make
it safe to call updateAdditionalMetadata without holding a lock.
FindAllGamePaths may take a little while, and holding the
gameFileCache lock isn't actually necessary until it's time to
put the results returned by FindAllGamePaths into gameFileCache.
The downside of this change is that we have to do an extra
round of JNI in between FindAllGamePaths and Update,
but I don't think that's much of a problem.

This partially reverts commit cbc4989095
due to a crash: https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12561
I can't debug what the cause of the crash is due to not having an
Android TV device. Let's just revert this for now to fix the crash.
The same kind of change as the changes made in the previous
commit, but this change is more involved, in particular because
of how SyncProgramsJobService was using display names as keys.
Now that DOL and ELF files are assigned game IDs, all games have
game IDs. (Unless you intentionally craft an ISO file that has
the first bytes set to null, but if you do that I think you can
live with Dolphin creating a file in GameSettings called ".ini")
Back when I wrote this code, I believe I set it to use a custom path
so that the cache would end up in a directory which Android considers
to be a cache directory. But nowadays the directory which Dolphin's
C++ code considers to be the cache directory is such a directory,
so there's no longer any reason to override the default path.
progressMessage can have the invalid value of 0. That
progressMessage was being used for the thread name was
a typo anyway – it's supposed to use progressTitle.
This reduces the build time for incremental builds from about
2 minutes to about 20 seconds. Most people never run the
unit tests on Android anyway (I'm not aware of anyone other
than me ever having done it).
Any local references get cleaned up when returning to the JVM,
but some of the functions in AndroidCommon return to C++ rather
than the JVM, and functions with loops risk running into the
limit of how many simultaneous local references are allowed.
I was going to rename this to getSysDirectory to make it clearer
what the returned path actually is, but it turns out we're not
actually using this for anything anymore.
The Java implementation of getting the list of post-processing
shaders only looked in the Sys folder and not the User folder.
This could be fixed in the Java implementation, but it's
simpler to just call the C++ implementation instead.

In 5a1a642, I explicitly set android:debuggable="true" for Dolphin.
(By default, it's set for debug builds but not release builds.)
The reason I made the change is because debuggable must be set to
true in order to allow adb backup to be used with apps which target
Android 12. We have no reason to want to stop users from debugging
Dolphin and certainly no reason to stop users from using adb backup
(especially not after forced storage is going to force us to store
the User folder in app-specific external storage!), but,
it turns out that setting debuggable to true is forbidden by
Google Play "for security reasons". Go figure. The beta build
which was tagged earlier today was rejected because of this.
I think the AArch64 JIT has come far enough that it doesn't have to
be called experimental anymore.
I'm also labeling the x86-64 JIT as x86-64 for consistence with the
AArch64 JIT. This will especially be helpful if we start supporting
AArch64 on macOS, as AArch64 macOS can run both the x86-64 JIT and
the AArch64 JIT depending on whether you enable Rosetta 2.
We don't actually need to do this until we bump targetSdkVersion
to Android 12 (which we can't do yet since we're not compatible
with scoped storage), but I figured I'd get it out of the way early.
Not tested on Android 12, but tested to not break stuff on Android 10.
Many Android users want to disable SyncOnSkipIdle as a performance
hack, to the point where it's often suggested as something to
paste into Dolphin.ini (if not to use a fork). If adding it as
a setting in the GUI gives us an opportunity to explain what the
setting actually does and stops people from pasting stuff they
don't understand into INI files, I think it can be worth adding
despite how it can make games unstable. It not being in the GUI
doesn't seem to be stopping people from disabling it anyway.
The added setting in the GUI is a three-way setting called
"Synchronize GPU Thread" with the following alternatives:
"Never": SyncGPU = False, SyncOnIdleSkip = False
"On Idle Skipping": SyncGPU = False, SyncOnIdleSkip = True
"Always": SyncGPU = True, SyncOnIdleSkip = True
See PR 8203 for background on the game INI deletion prompt.
It's been almost two years since PR 8203 was merged, so you
would think that people are no longer creating game INIs that
contain a copy of every global setting, right? Unfortunately,
MMJ was forked not too long before that and never backported the
change, so right now there's a not insignificant number of people
online posting game INIs full of this garbage for others to use.
One thing that's been missing from the game INI deletion prompt
is a description of what the problem with having tons of extra
lines in a game INI actually is. This change adds that, in the
the hope that it will make people ignore the warning less often.
This option does in fact not enable and disable logging as a whole.
You can get logs through logcat regardless of this setting.
Also taking the opportunity to remove the reference to
the "dolphin-emu" folder name since we will no longer be
using that folder once scoped storage is applied to Dolphin.
GameFileCacheService.startRescan (in MainPresenter.onResume)
does nothing if called before GameFileCacheService.startLoad.
Fixes a 3f71c36 regression where already added games would not
show up after app launch under specific circumstances.
Unfortunately the loading indicator still doesn't show up
during a rescan initiated by app launch, but that would
be more annoying to fix, so I will leave it for now.
We want to save the currently selected platform tab,
but doing so immediately after switching tabs leads to
unnecessarily much file I/O (on the main thread, no less).
This change makes us defer the saving until later.
In master, the game scanning process looks like this:
1. Scan for games
2. Scan for additional metadata (icon.png and meta.xml)
3. Save the cache if needed
4. Update the game list with the results
This change makes the game scanning process look like this:
1. Scan for games
2. Update the game list with the results
3. Scan for additional metadata (icon.png and meta.xml)
4. Update the game list with the results
5. Save the cache if needed
Updating the game list as soon as possible means the user
has to wait less before their games show up. The new behavior
matches what DolphinWX did before it was removed. (DolphinQt
has an even fancier approach where games get added one by one.)
The main reason why I'm adding this isn't actually to allow
users to swipe down to refresh, it's to add a loading indicator.
Considering that the Storage Access Framework can be slow for
folders with many items (many subfolders?), not showing a
loading indicator might give users the impression that adding
a folder resulted in nothing happening even though Dolphin is
scanning for games in the background. But I suppose letting
users swipe down to refresh is a nice bonus with the change.
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.
Added Opacity controls for the user to customize the opacity of their touchscreen controls. Also, placed both Scale and Opacity settings into one window/option called Adjust Controls.
In 8c723d0, I intended to update the main activity, emulation
activity and game properties dialog, but I forgot to actually
update the game properties dialog. This commit fixes that.
The changes outside of GamePropertiesDialog.java are just
to hide the Wii controller settings for GameCube games.
Basically, instead of having one button for config, one button
for graphics settings and so on, we now have just one settings
button which takes you to a screen where you pick between
config/graphics/GameCube controllers/Wii Remotes.
The main reason I want to do this is because people still have
trouble finding Overlay Controls in the "new" in-game menu.
Typically (depending on the screen size and the length of the
game name), the scrollable part of the menu can fit 4 items,
and merging Config and Graphics Settings into one item would
move Overlay Controls from 5th place to 4th place (assuming the
user doesn't have savestates enabled), which makes it findable
even for users who don't realize the menu can be scrolled.
The dialog that's shown when long pressing a game in the game
list is also shortened. While not a pressing matter, I think
it was getting a bit long.
An additional reason to do this is because we probably will
want to make it possible to edit the controller settings
from the in-game menu at some point in the future. With the
old approach, this would require us to dedicate a whopping 4
menu items just for settings (not including Overlay Controls),
which I think is excessive.
I moved it from the main settings screen to the in-game menu
in PR 8439 so that it could be changed while a game is running,
but now that the main settings can be accessed while a game is
running, there's no reason to not put it in the main settings.

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.
This assumption is false both in portrait mode (where it only
covers the top half of the screen) and when using two apps at once.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12307.
This was removed in cc5802b when it should have
been converted to the new setting instead,
and it seems like I didn't notice when reviewing it.
I'm changing the DirectoryInitialization logic a little
so that clearWiimoteNewIniLinkedPreferences also is called
when there was no WiimoteNew.ini previously, in case the
user deleted WiimoteNew.ini but not Dolphin.ini.
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.
In case someone wants to be very careful with how much bandwidth
they use or with what data GameTDB.com collects on you.
This is already an option in DolphinQt (though in DolphinQt it
will switch entirely from using covers to banners when turned off).
It would be difficult to use the AlertMessage class for
messages that need to be showed outside of emulation,
but showing them as toasts is better than not showing 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.
This is part of my efforts to add support for scoped storage.
I figured I would start with a relatively simple feature to
make sure that everyone is fine with the approach I'm taking
before I tackle more complicated features like the game list.
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.
The only place where initTouchPointer was called automatically
was Host_RequestRenderWindowSize, which is called at least once
after emulation start, but not after activity recreation.
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.
Except controller settings, because those would be annoying
to fit into the same system, and I only need the non-controller
settings to be brought over for the next commits to work.
...instead of waiting for it after launching EmulationActivity.
We need this because there is code that runs very early in
EmulationActivity that accesses the settings.
Android TV devices aren't the only devices without touchscreens.
Regarding MotionAlertDialog, I could've replaced the leanback
check with a touchscreen check instead of just removing it,
but I thought there was no reason to prevent people with
touchscreens from doing a long back press if they want to.
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12029
We currently have one way of opening the menu on touch screen
devices (swiping down from the top of the screen to bring up the
action bar and selecting the menu in the action bar), and another
way of opening the menu on Android TV (pressing Back). However,
some devices that claim to support touch (or don't support
leanback? Dolphin currently conflates the two) don't actually let
you swipe down from the top of the screen in the way that Dolphin
expects, notably Chromebooks. There are also some phones where you
can swipe down from the top of the screen but this for some reason
doesn't lead to the action bar becoming visible, though we are
getting less reports about this nowadays than in the past.
This change makes us use the Back method on all devices,
since it should work on all devices with no significant drawbacks.
Unfortunately, we not only have two different ways of triggering
the menu but actually two entirely different menus, with the
non-touch menu not implementing options that only are revelant
when using a touch screen. A later commit will add the missing
features to the menu that we now use on all devices.
The reason why the finish() call was added no longer exists.
(Also, there was never a duplicate SettingsActivity as far as
I can tell, only a duplicate SettingsFragment.)
Just for maintainability. This is a shorter and more standard
solution compared to our current one where the Fragment
persists the Settings and passes it to the Activity.
That a device doesn't have a touchscreen doesn't necessarily mean
that it doesn't support rumble (though it is usually the case).
setPhoneVibrator already contains a check for whether the device
supports rumble, so we can simply remove the touchscreen check.
Since updating to 28 took us so long that Google Play started
requiring updates to target 28 before we actually merged the PR that
made us target 28, I'm trying to get the update to 29 done early.
Setting targetSdkVersion to 28 would normally force scoped storage
on us, which we do not support yet. However, we can easily
avoid this by setting android:requestLegacyExternalStorage="true".
There will be no such luxury with targetSdkVersion 30, however...
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.
This essentially reverts d9c78d5. Thanks to the previous commit,
the touch controls issue which was fixed by d9c78d5 is still fixed.
The behavior for gamepads is reverted, bringing back the ability
to run diagonally in games that had trouble with it after d9c78d5.
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.
While having motion control emulation of IR enabled by default
makes sense in situations like using a DualShock 4 on a PC,
Android has the additional option of touch emulation of IR
which seems to be better liked, and the default value which
was chosen with PC in mind was carried over to Android
without any particular consideration. This change disables
motion control emulation of IR by default on Android only.
Also fixes the same crash when accessing the game details
(which only can be accessed after long pressing a game).
The problem was that we were not using a theme that had
an AppCompat theme as a parent.
Unfortunately, the game details dialog uses white on white on
Android TV, and I don't know how to fix this in a clean way.
This fixes a crash on ATV devices, because the the AlertDialog is
from the appcompat class, but the theme derived from the parent
view on ATV devices isn't from AppCompat.
This changes channel syncing to happen when the operating system is
Android TV rather than when TvMainActivity is launched. (You can run
TvMainActivity on a phone by specifying a launch activity manually
in Android Studio, which I do sometimes for testing purposes. Without
this change, you get an exception when channel syncing runs.)
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.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11911 and makes the range of
values when using touch controls correct. Also affects the range of
values for physical controllers in a way that may or may not be
desirable, depending on the controller model. (If there are
undesirable effects, they would be that the range of inputs is too
small, especially diagonally.) Such is our messy Android input system.
Should be an improvement on the whole for physical controllers, though.
We must set Java_GCAdapter.manager before the GC adapter thread (C++)
starts. We used to set it at emulation start, which was fine until
9f3f45a made the GC adapter thread start much earlier.
Because trying to fit a 3:1 banner into a circle looks very awkward.
Also move the banner below the title/description now that it
takes up more space horizontally.
When using motion controls, it's useful to be able to lock the screen
to a certain orientation so that Android won't interpret game motions
as an intent to change the screen orientation. To this end, I've
changed the existing orientation lock setting in the following ways:
- A portrait lock mode has been added in addition to the existing
landscape lock mode and unlocked mode.
- The landscape lock mode now locks to regular landscape rather than
letting you change between the two possible landscape orientations.
- The setting is now accessed during emulation rather than outside.
Not that this has much relation to the rest of the PR, but it's an
easy fix that we might as well throw in while we're already
overwriting everyone's WiimoteNew.ini.
This will help to disable all inter-instruction dependencies.
So android users can check if only a single instruction is broken without compiling dolphin on their own.
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).
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/8949
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).
This new setting is like Override Language on NTSC Games, except
instead of only applying to the GameCube language setting,
it also applies to the Wii language setting.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11299
This isn't as serious as copying global INIs into user game INIs,
but still not good. We want to be able to remove settings from
default game INIs and have those removals apply.
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!)
People in the Google Play reviews still seem to be confused about
games not showing up in the directory picker, so let's show them
even though they can't be selected. (Either that or they haven't
realized that they need to extract their pirated games.)
This sets the IR/Width, IR/Height, and IR/Center per game, so a controller profile is used
to save the value, then enable the profile in the game ini, then reload the
control configs.
Some of the recent reviews on Google Play express trouble finding the
emulation activity menu. One of them thought you were supposed to go
to the settings accessible through the main activity to configure the
virtual controller buttons.
This commit changes the text so that the user now explicitly is told to
swipe down from the top of the screen to access the menu. In exchange,
I removed the exact selections to make in the menu so that the text
wouldn't get too long, but I think it shouldn't be too hard to
understand once you know how to open the menu.
Delay the creation of the emulation fragment if: the device is a phone, if
emulation should be locked to landscape, and the current orientation is
portrait.
Forcing landscape at emulation start revealed a bug where if the activity was
recreated before emulation started then it would get stuck in a paused state
If emulation started in landscape then it wouldn't lock to landscape, thus
allowing a rotation to portrait then immediately back to landscape. Also
locking to landscape didn't need to be called from another thread, so that
was removed as well
Picasso is using an old version of the support lib which creates a conflict
for the exifinterface support librar, this will make sure to use the
version Dolphin is using which is 27.1.1
Previously would take several seconds to save, sometimes causing ANRs, which
was made worse when adding all the controller values. Now we only load/save
each section instead of doing it for each setting. Also added a method
to save an individual setting.
Android can be funky with controller vibration. Of the three controlers I have that contain a
vibrator(PS3, Xbox360, 2017 Shield controller), only the Xbox360 controller registered as having
a vibrator. So YYMV depending on the driver support of the device.
With the nature of android updates invalidating save states, it's best to hide
these options unless enabled by the user. The option to use savestates can now
be enabled via the General settings menu.
Two reasons for this change. First, it appears that some android launchers do some sort of call into
the application when long pressing the app icon, which in turn calls the DirectoryInit service. This
was ok to do prior to Oreo but will cause crashes with the new restrictions on services running
in the background. Which leads to the second reason that DirectoryInit doesn't need to be a service
at all since these actions are required for dolphin to function and shouldn't be a scheduled action.
So we instead just kick this off in a new thread and send the broadcast when done.
This global belongs in the JitOptions structure, as it's a conditional
setting (A.K.A. option) that changes the behavior of what the JIT does.
Plus it keeps the scope of the variable constrained to the general area
it's intended to be used and nothing further.
This requires buildbot changes: the path to the Android Studio
installation must be supplied in an environment variable.
Modified files are copied out to a temporary directory, Android Studio
is asked to format the files, and a git diff is performed.
There isn't an official Java style, but this seems to be consistent with
everything else. Also it's weird to see one one liners without braces in
Java.
I think the intention might have been to switch styles based on what
platform was selected, but that never happened. Instead, everything just
used the GC styles.
All the platform-specific styles did was add an accent color (which
tints the checkbox and text area elements). This adds a specific color for
that instead of abusing a platform color.
There should be no visual changes for this commit.
Added an option in General config to enable/disable usage statistics. Added a popup on first open if
the user would like to engage in reporting. Clicking cancel or out of the box opts out. Only
clicking 'Ok' will enable reporting. Also added a new android specific values to report.
If a user changes any config options before starting emulation then all SIDevices are set to 0.
This was added in PR 6267(commit 58ee9d2a78) to fix a bug.
This sets up default positions for touch buttons so they are not just bunched in the corner on a fresh install. Also added a toast when emulation starts on how to edit button layout
Per-Game settings now load the settings in this order
1. Emulator Settings
2. Default Settings of the Game that we ship with Dolphin
3. Custom game settings the user have
where the later always overides the former in case of collision, then
we show that on the UI to make it clear to the user which settings being
used.
Some of the write checks do an & on the result, returning 0 will allow these fails to be caught.
Updated the default WiimoteNew to set wiimotes 2-4 to be disabled on new install. No reason to have these
enabled unless there is actually a 2+ players
Apparently there was a different section names used by the custom game
settings that caused Android to have those settings broken for
some sections like the graphics one. This adds the map between the generic
settings <> custom settings.
1. Create Settings class the encaupslate the loading/saving of all settings
2. Decouple the logic of saving the settings into 3 different config files
from the UI code.
A little background: Android has 8 controller setup, 4 gamecube pads and 4 wiimote pads. When the static GCPadNew.ini and wiimotenew.ini is created, pads 0-3 are gc 1-4, and 4-7 are wii 1-4. Problem was the settings set wii controllers as pads 1-4, instead of 4-7. So any setting for wiimote1, was set for gc2(padID 1). Which is why the only wiimote to work was 4, since it mapped to padID 4, which is actually wiimote1.
Some controllers have axes that are stuck to values like 0.5 or 1.
Starting with PR #6123, when you press a control to map, Dolphin will
immediately think that such an axis is the axis that you want to map.
This commit fixes that issue (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10909)
Since we don't have proper confuguration file of what to include/exclude
in the backup, this better be disabled because it will lead to unexpected
state. This will solve any issue that was keep hapenning even after fresh
install of the emulator until you manually clear the app data.
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.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10947
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.
called.
The user will get a brief system popup tutorial the first time it's
used, so we don't need to show them the menu every time. Once they
enable it by pulling down, hide again after 3s.
Move the parameter extraction earlier on in onCreate. Mostly this moves
setting sIsGameCubeGame to before setContentView, which means
EmulationFragment will always see it in a consistent state. Previously,
there was a race, which mean the controller overlay would randomly be
Wii controls for a GameCube game (since the default is false).
Use the correct support version of things, ActivityOptionsCompat and
transitions
Rename static var mIsGameCubeGame to sIsGameCubeGame. s is static, m is
member.
Make the MenuFragment added and removed by fragment transactions only,
instead of being initially present in the XML. This fixes a glitch where
it doesn't animate correctly the first time it's used.
The Activity is responsible for just its views and menus and such. It
signals the Fragment via setGamePath, StartEmulation and StopEmulation.
The Fragment manages the actual emulation lifecycle. It is solely
responsible for calling the NativeLibrary lifecycle methods.
With this lifecycle simplification, the NativeLibrary no longer needs to
kill the Activity. It happens normally now.
This simplifies a lot of things, live handling rotation.
Without this View, the emulation SurfaceView acts like it has the
highest Z-value, blocking any other View. This includes the menu
fragments and the screenshot ImageView.
This makes it clear that the Activity is being cleared and removes null as
a valid param. This improves readability (and logging slightly).
Fix spacing between [Tag] and message. This matches the rest of the log
messages.
In the support lib, the code comes from the SDK, not the device like the
framework version. This means we're shipping a more recent and less buggy
version.
It's also a good idea to keep the entire project on one version. We have a bit
of a mix now. I think some of the Fragment animation issues were because of
this mixing.
For the leanback activities, AppCompatActivity requires AppCompat themes, which
they don't ship for Theme.Leanback. So use FragmentActivity instead (that's the
parent of AppCompatActivity, but still in the support library). For passed
around Activities, use FragmentActivity to work with both.
Bump the support lib version to 26. This allows for using property
animators (R.animator) in FragmentTransaction.setCustomAnimations.
Add the google maven repo, as from support lib 26 onwards, they're only
publishing it in there.
Bump the gradle version while we're at it, keep Android Studio quiet.
Other than what action they send back to
EmulationActivity.handleMenuAction(), they are the same.
Change the menu-handling logic in EmulationActivity to keep track of a
boolean for whether the submenu is visible, rather than keeping the
fragment tag. There's only one fragment visible, so this makes more
sense.
Prefixing everything with a constant packagename is not needed for
internal keys, and just adds complexity.
Rename ARGUMENT_ prefix to ARG_ to match (most) of the rest of the
codebase.
Restrict visiblity of above as much as possible.
FRAGMENT_ID wasn't actually the fragment's ID (that's misleading, and
sounds like the tag). It's actually the layout resource ID. There's no point in making that a static constant.
Ideally Common.h wouldn't be a header in the Common library, and instead be renamed to something else, like PlatformCompatibility.h or something, but even then, there's still some things in the header that don't really fall under that label
This moves the version strings out to their own version header that doesn't dump a bunch of other unrelated things into scope, like what Common.h was doing.
This also places them into the Common namespace, as opposed to letting them sit in the global namespace.
If a SettingsFile had at least one section, it was assumed all sections
were correctly filled out. This caused crashes when opening the settings
menus if that was not the case - for example the GFX.ini settings empty
sections are removed by the main dolphin app, putting the .ini file in a
state that would crash the settings window if at least one setting was
changed in it from the default, some sections were left as default.
This adds a subclass of HashMap<String, SettingSection> that constructs a
new SettingSection instead of returning 'null' if the key isn't found,
so the mSettings.get(FILE).get(SECTION).get(SETTING) pattern can be
safely used.
It would fail on lines line "Value =" - IE a value set to emptystring.
This would cause the app to crash when trying to open the corresponding
settings window.
I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to put the Wiimote
connect code as part of the Host interface, and have that called
from both the UI code and the core. And then hack around it by having
"force connect" events whenever Host_ConnectWiimote is called
from the core...
Showing the Wii remote connection status leads to inconsistent UX,
because we don't do anything like that for GameCube controllers
or with Bluetooth passthrough.
It's also questionable how useful it is given that:
* it doesn't print the number of connected remotes, just that one
remote is connected, connecting or not connected, so the only info
it provides is actually wrong when using multiple remotes;
* this user-facing feature is actually broken in master and no one has
complained AFAIK, which means people don't really rely on it;
* the status bar isn't visible most of the time unless the user is
using render to main or deliberately keeping the main window's
status bar visible by moving the render window and they're not too
far away from their screen;
* emulated Wii remotes now reconnect on input, which means that there
is less of a need to actually know at all times whether a remote
is connected, since pressing any button will reconnect it and provide
immediate, visible feedback via OSD messages and the Wii remote
pointer appearing.
* 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.
