There are certain hotkeys that we absolutely want to be able to use
without being in-game. Presently, no hotkeys are recognized unless we
are in-game.
I've identified and moved the following hotkeys to be checked before the
HotkeyScheduler checks to see if the Core is running:
- Open
- Exit
- Start Recording
- Refresh Game List
Note that Play Recording should also be implemented here, however it
looks like there is no signal for a PlayRecording() function, so this
will have to be handled in a later PR once that signal is created and
implemented.
Previously, it was not clear where the boundary of the StickWidget was when interacting outside of the circle. This aims to restore the gray square present in the Wx-era.
I found it a little bit annoying that you can't start typing
the desired address immediately after opening the window.
Also getting rid of the window's ? button while I'm at it.
When you come across a cheat code in a place like the Dolphin
wiki, it's often posted like this:
$16:9 Widescreen
0441187C 3FE38E39
Sometimes users try to paste this in its entirety into the Code
field, which leads to Dolphin reporting an error on the first line.
I think it would be nice to make this a little smoother by having
Dolphin accept having a first line that starts with $.
PR https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/pull/9700 removed spaces from within control names, which some user complained about, and their point of view is kind of understandable:
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12605
with this change, only spaces outside (between) control names are trimmed, which are the ones we wanted to trim in the first place.
This will still retain the major advantages from 9700.
Basically, "`Button 1` + `Button 2`" was showing as "`Button1`+`Button2`", while it will now show as "`Button 1`+`Button 2`".
This actually eliminates any setting pertaining to SD cards from the
NetPlay dialog, as it would effectively just be a duplicate of the
setting in the Wii pane, potentially causing confusion.
This also enables save data writing by default, as this is probably
what most players want, and should avoid them losing hours of progress
because they forgot to tick a checkbox.

this prevented some devices from being recreated correctly, as they were exclusive (e.g. DInput Joysticks)
This is achieved by calling Settings::ReleaseDevices(), which releases all the UI devices shared ptrs.
If we are the host (Qt) thread, DevicesChanged() is now called in line, to avoid devices being hanged onto by the UI.
For this, I had to add a method to check whether we are the Host Thread to Qt.
Avoid calling ControllerInterface::RefreshDevices() from the CPU thread if the emulation is running
and we manually refresh devices from Qt, as that is not necessary anymore.
Refactored the way IOWindow lists devices to make it clearer and hold onto disconnected devices.
There were so many issues with the previous code:
-Devices changes would not be reflected until the window was re-opened
-If there was no default device, it would fail to select the device at index 0
-It could have crashed if we had 0 devices
-The default device was not highlighted as such
Looks like the option was added to the Wx UI at commit 198d3b69, which
was a few months after the advancedWidget was originally ported from
Wx to Qt, but before anyone was actually using Qt.
-add a way to reset their value (from the mappings UI)
-fix "memory leak" where they would never be cleaned,
one would be created every time you wrote a character after a "$"
-fix ability to create variables with an empty string by just writing "$" (+added error for it)
-Add $ operator to the UI operators list, to expose this functionality even more
This fixes a nasty issue where you can change the Dual Core setting
during emulation, if it has been overridden by GameINI or NetPlay, by
simply changing any of the non-disabled settings. This is because
changing any of the settings will write all of them to the config.
This issue is particularly nasty because managing to disable Dual Core
during emulation, and then stopping it, results in the emulator core
being totally deadlocked. It's impossible to recover from this state,
and Dolphin will remain as a zombie process on the system, consuming
resources and holding locks, until forcibly killed.
Analytics:
- Incorporated fix to allow the full set of analytics that was recommended by
spotlightishere
BuildMacOSUniversalBinary:
- The x86_64 slice for a universal binary is now built for 10.12
- The universal binary build script now can be configured though command line
options instead of modifying the script itself.
- os.system calls were replaced with equivalent subprocess calls
- Formatting was reworked to be more PEP 8 compliant
- The script was refactored to make it more modular
- The com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation entitlement was removed
Memory Management:
- Changed the JITPageWrite*Execute*() functions to incorporate support for
nesting
Other:
- Fixed several small lint errors
- Fixed doc and formatting mistakes
- Several small refactors to make things clearer
This commit adds support for compiling Dolphin for ARM on MacOS so that it can
run natively on the M1 processors without running through Rosseta2 emulation
providing a 30-50% performance speedup and less hitches from Rosseta2.
It consists of several key changes:
- Adding support for W^X allocation(MAP_JIT) for the ARM JIT
- Adding the machine context and config info to identify the M1 processor
- Additions to the build system and docs to support building universal binaries
- Adding code signing entitlements to access the MAP_JIT functionality
- Updating the MoltenVK libvulkan.dylib to a newer version with M1 support
