There is no reason to prevent the user from closing the config dialog
if the device is not found. It's not very good UX…
Also fixes ExpressionParser to return NO_DEVICE if the device doesn't
exist instead of SUCCESS.
This adds hotplugging support to the evdev input backend. We use
libudev to monitor changes to input devices in a separate thread.
Removed devices are removed from the devices list, and new devices
are added to the list.
The effect is that controllers are usable immediately after plugging
them without having to manually refresh devices (if they were
configured to be used, of course).
Changes UpdateInput() to skip if we can't lock the mutex, instead of
potentially blocking the CPU thread and causing a short but noticeable
frame drop.
This adds RemoveDevice() to ControllerInterface, fixes ExpressionParser
and some other code to support device removals without crashing,
and adds an IsValid() method to Device, to prepare for hotplugging.
This adds RegisterHotplugCallback() to register a callback which will
be invoked by the input backends' hotplug threads when there is a new
device, so that Core (GCKeyboard, GCPad, Wiimote, Hotkey) can reload
the configuration without adding a dependency to Core from InputCommon.
This fixes warnings in:
- Source/Core/InputCommon/ControllerEmu.h: avoid shadowing other
variables (my fault)
- Source/Core/Core/IPC_HLE/WII_IPC_HLE.h: made
SDIO_EventNotify_CPUThread static as it's not used anywhere else
This makes the device ID assigning code common to all backends, by
moving it to AddDevice() instead of copy-pasting or replicating
the logic in the backends.
Also, to prepare for hotplugging, instead of relying on a name usage
count, the new ID assigning system always starts from ID 0 and tries
to assign the first ID that is not used.
The Setting class was used for both numeric values and booleans, and
other parts of the code had hacks to make it work with booleans.
By splitting Setting into NumericSetting and BooleanSetting, it is
clear which settings are numeric, and which are boolean, so there is
no need to guess by checking the default values or anything like that.
Also, booleans are stored as booleans in config files, instead of 1.0.
The values are expected to be in the 0.0-1.0 range (as indicated by the
comment), and other parts of Dolphin also expect it to be in that range
since the "full" axis has a -1.0 to 1.0 range. However, this is not
always the case and fvalue can end up being outside of the range. This
clamps fvalue to always be in the 0.0 and 1.0 range.
Small cleanup by using std::shared_ptr and getting rid of
ciface.Devices() which just returned the m_devices (which defeats the
point of making m_devices protected).
Incidentally, this should make the code safer when we have
different threads accessing devices in the future (for hotplug?).
A lot of code use Device references directly so there is
no easy way to remove FindDevice() and make those unique_ptrs.
Previously, the devices vector would be passed to all backends. They
would then manually push_back to it to add new devices. This was fine
but caused issues when trying to add synchronisation.
Instead, backends now call AddDevice() to fill m_devices so that it is
not accessible from the outside.
make sure Reset() can’t be run concurrently with AddGCAdapter() or
ResetRumble() (which is called on other threads) which can cause
crashes (issue #9462)
Disclaimer: I can't test if this works on xbox one controllers, i don't have one. But i have conformed that this UpdateMotors() is related to rumble for emulated wiimotes.
This partially reverts commit "XInput: Apply immediately as well" (1958a10b6f) from pr # https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/1560
Hopefully this fixes the xbox one controller rumble issue:
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/9071
And in theory it might reduce the used usb bandwidth, as it was originally intended before pr 1560.
@JMC47: Please do a good amount of testing, to see if this breaks rumble for wiimotes or gamecube controllers emulated with xinput devices.
Under failure conditions of the GC Adapter, When interface count is zero and we can't open the device.
Then there were race conditions on shutdown of the threads which could result in crashing.
Make adapter opening more robust like the Mayflash DolphinBar.
Make shutdown more robust by making the read thread control the write thread.
Make sure that there is actual data to be written when kicking the write thread. So it doesn't attempt a write a shutdown.
Make a toast on screen to tell the user that the adapter needs to be unplugged and plugged back in again for it to work.
Previously we would iterate through every GC adapter plugged in to the PC and steal ownership of it.
This causes issues all over the place in the implementation if this happens.
Break on the first adapter we can get access to.
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.
The Wii U Gamecube controller adapter setup has always been a bit weird. It tries to be as automatic as possible to make the user experience as easy
as possible.
The problem with this approach is that it brings a large disconnect in the user experience because you have the Gamecube controller setup with regular
gamepads and then for some reason below that you have a "direct connect" option which will cause the Gamecube Adapter to overwrite the regular inputs
if something was connected.
While this works and allows the user to only click one checkbox to get the device working, it breaks the user's experience because they don't really
know what "direct connect" means and won't look it up to figure out what it is. Just expecting the device to work (At least one occurence of this in
the IRC channel in the last week).
This way around also had the terrible nature of making the code more filthy than it needed to be. The GCAdapter namespace was parasitic and hooked in
to the regular GC Controller SI class to overwrite the data that it was getting from the default configuration.
Now instead we have a specific SIDevice class for the Wii U Gamecube adapter. This class is fairly simple and is a child of the regular SI Gamecube
Pad device and only reimplements what it needs to.
This also gives the ability to configure controllers individually, which allows the user to configure rumble individually per pad input.
Overall the code is cleaner, and it fits more in line with how the rest of Dolphin works.
Lets the user set the following in intervals of 10 between 10 and 100;
- Stick/Radius (default 100,000000)
- Triggers/Threshold (default 90,000000)
- Tilt/Modifier/Range (default 50,000000) + mapped Tilt/Modifier button
to the configurations for wiimotes & nunchuks
