Essentially, I'm telling the memory card to re-index itself with a
filter based on the game's disc serial every time a new executable boots
in the emulator.
This currently works for a lot of games, but fails in edge cases where
the game disc's serial does not match the game serial that is written to
the memory card as part of the save file's directory name. This affects
mostly (only?) games that have multiple discs. We could circumvent this
by adding a "save game serial" or something into the GameDatabase which
tells us what we should filter by for those cases.
Apart from this edge case, this appears to work surprisingly well. Try
it and see if you can find other issues!
FileMemoryCard: Log reads and writes so I know what kind of commands I have to deal with.
FolderMemoryCard: Create basic class/method outline based on FileMemoryCard.
FolderMemoryCard: Add a FolderMemoryCardAggregator so I don't have to write every method in a way that has to handle more than one memory ca
Also shuffle around the location of code because C++ cares about stuff
needing to be defined before they're usable.
FolderMemoryCard: Implement Open().
FolderMemoryCard: Implement GetSizeInfo().
FolderMemoryCard: Implement some basic structure of Read()
FolderMemoryCard: Implement parts of Read() and Save().
Shouldn't it be Write() or Load()? Anyway, this doesn't work yet, but it
gets part of the formatting procedure done which is at least something!
FolderMemoryCard: Add method to calculate ECC.
FolderMemoryCard: Start implementing the FAT.
MemoryCard: More logging.
FolderMemoryCard: Formatting works now!
Formatted memory card isn't actually recognized as formatted yet because I don't store folder metadata yet, but we're getting there!
FolderMemoryCard: Recognize when it's trying to access a data cluster.
FolderMemoryCard: Add directory/file entry support.
On further inspection this might not a be a good way to handle erasing.
FolderMemoryCard: Method to get a file entry and file path from a file's data cluster.
FolderMemoryCard: wxDirName is garbage, let's just use wxFileName for the folder too...
FolderMemoryCard: Fix Erase method.
FolderMemoryCard: Start implementing file writes.
This is still quite broken but we're getting somewhere here!
FolderMemoryCard: Load the data from the host file system into the memory card on emulation start.
Also store superblock to host file system on end.
FolderMemoryCard: Fix a few warnings.
FolderMemoryCard: Implement file reads.
FolderMemoryCard: Proper ECC reads.
FolderMemoryCard: Reads to unmapped locations should return all 0xFF.
FolderMemoryCard: Some sort of working WriteToFile.
(Note: Doesn't always work depending on what order data gets written...)
FolderMemoryCard: Forgot a 'b' for reading files in binary mode. Whoops.
FolderMemoryCard: Load timestamps from the host filesystem.
FolderMemoryCard: r+b needs the file to exist so create if it doesn't.
FolderMemoryCard: Failsafe to allow non-sequential writes.
FolderMemoryCard: Use a cache for writes. Does not flush to host FS yet!
FolderMemoryCard: Flush the data written to the cache to the host file system on exit.
FolderMemoryCard: Since we have a cache now, remove code related to formatting, it's no longer needed.
FolderMemoryCard: More binary file mode mistakes...
FolderMemoryCard: Make it actually possible to disable/eject cards.
FileMemoryCard: Revert changes made for logging data.
FolderMemoryCard: Remove excessive logging.
MemoryCard: Note that the superblock struct is no longer unused.
FolderMemoryCard: A disabled card shouldn't try writing data on exit.
FolderMemoryCard: Log when flushing data.
FolderMemoryCard: Replace plain constants with const variables.
Should make it easier in the future to change the memory card size, if
needed.
FolderMemoryCard: Sort of handle the case when the total size of files in the memory card folder exceed the size of the card.
Not elegant but prevents ugly errors. The file that caused the card to
"overflow" will be seen as corrupted data by the PS2 browser.
FolderMemoryCard: Some sanity checks.
FolderMemoryCard: superBlock member really should have that m_ too to be consistent.
MemoryCard: Switch back to FileMemoryCard for merging.
FolderMemoryCard: Implement GetCRC() via a timestamp of the last memory card write.
Reasoning:
Regarding auto-ejecting on save load, I see that the current
implementation checks that by comparing memory card CRC and reinserting
if it mismatches. Since it's actually just about seeing if the memory
card state of the savestate and the current state match, my GetCRC() now
returns a millisecond timestamp of the last time the card was written
to. This should work out to the intended result, though I had to use
wxGetLocalTimeMillis() instead of wxGetUTCTimeMillis() since the latter
isn't available for some reason.
Fix GCC warnings and error.
MemoryCard: Switch implementations via a #define.
FolderMemoryCard: Add a NextFrame() method that should be called once per frame. Flushes written data to the host file system after a certain amout of frames have passed without any writes (currently 60).
MemoryCard: Add the NextFrame() method to the plugin API.
Counters: If the FolderMemoryCard is selected, inform it every frame in VSyncEnd() that a frame has passed.
VSyncEnd: Probably better to inform the memory card before the frame limiting.
Fix error when using wxWidgets >= 3.0.
FolderMemoryCard: Extract into its own .h/.cpp files.
FolderMemoryCard: Change cache to a map to reduce memory usage.
FolderMemoryCard: More gracefully handle lack of space when adding files.
memcards (mcd/mcr), Fixed issues with pad 2 (e.g. issue 1326).
These are changes which were left out at r5622, updated to pach v9 by KrossX from http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Multitap-PCSX2 .
- Please report any issues with memcards corruption/incompatibilities here.
- Please feedback on multitap improvements here.
Thanks, KrossX! :)

- Also, I slightly modified the default column widths at the memory card config panel.
- Tip: If the column widths are resized, the new widths will get saved after clicking OK/Apply, but NOT if clicking Cancel or closing the window with [X].

* Memorycard settings are now applied on-the-fly (can add/remove/disable memory cards in the BIOS browser and it'll act just as if you plugged or unplugged cards on a real PS2)
* Bugfixed memorycard creation dialog; which wasn't creating the memorycards in the right place (oops).
* Removed the CWD option from the first time wizard (was redundant since adding the custom location option).
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3081 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* Implemented GS window hiding on suspend (option was there, but not tied in)
* Added Frameskipping options
* Added option for disabling all GS output, for benchmarking EEcore stuffs.
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2409 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
Also added suggested interface for plugins for whenever the plugin apis are updated.

MemoryCard / Multitap Renovations:
* Memorycards should now support multitap (somewhat untested)
* Implemented a memorycard plugin interface, using the new API defined in PluginCallbacks.h (still prelim and hackish)
* Memorycard settings are saved to ini!
* Multitap is now controlled by PCSX2 instead of the pad plugin (which means no multitap until we implement the gui toggles to enable it)
git-svn-id: http://pcsx2.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1817 96395faa-99c1-11dd-bbfe-3dabce05a288
* finished most of the new plugin system (branch is buildable and runnable again, but no significant functionality has been added yet).
* Removed STGS code from the branch since I planned to kill it off anyway and it was more work to code proper support for it in wx than to remove it.

Because of a convenient bug in load state function, older save states with no saved pad info should still work. Don't blame me if they don't, though.
