Modified for use w/ reicast per-game configuration
A new function was introduced to abstract the setup of input devices for each os: os_SetupInput().
I hope I implemented this everywhere correctly and the behaviour is identical to before.
The new function mcfg_CreateNAOMIJamma() creates the NAOMI Jamma interface and is hidden behind a compile flag (same as before).
The previous function mcfg_CreateDevices() was renamed to mcfg_CreateDevicesFromConfig() because it creates the devices based on the configuration (``nb`` setting).
Don't expose mcfg_Create() directly, but use a proxy method mcfg_CreateController() to create the complete controller.
Using evdev the ``nb``-setting in the ``emu.cfg`` is no longer necessary (see #970) as the devices get created while initializing the controllers.
Moved the ``switch`` to it's own function.
Android: Pass game configuration options to emu
TODO: Fix inability to reload fragment w/ new settings
Android: Limit preference scope, Avoid static crutch
Android: Obligatory button to commit PGC settings
Android pressures the use of async preferences, but does not properly block threads. This causes the settings from one view to bleed into the next when swapping back and forth. This can be overcome by explicitely writing to the specific pref object.
Android: Add PGC documentation to window
There is no reason to build a configuration file of duplicate settings. The user can acquire the defaults from the config section and only inject the changes into the game section.
This value is printed to the config file alongside individual settings and cannot be modified. It will be replaced each time the configuration is read, preventing any risk of user error.
This is a general outline of how per-game configuration would be read to replace the existing "default" values without restricting the settings to defined values. Each game could support it's own proprietary configuration that could be changed and updated, as needed. This separates per-game config from the emulator version.
This fixes the JNI naming structure to match the Android lifecycle stages and adds the ability to save things like the time when the app goes into the background without actually halting the emulator.
