this is actually not a FTW issue but rather a console sources issue.
the console log sources are not c++ classes and therefore don't get initialized
other than when [attempting to] loading them from the ini file (where if the ini
doesn't exist then they get their default values). however, during first time
wizard, when choosing "overwrite", the console sources are saved without ever
getting loaded and so end up without the default values applied (so all sources
as disabled).
this patch makes sure that if we're saving the conlog sources before ever
attempting to load them, they'll get saved with the correct default values.
there was already code for this, but it was broken due to:
- the message is WM_SYSCOMMAND and wParam is SC_SCREENSAVE etc.
- GSPanel doesn't get WM_SYSCOMMAND - GSFrame does.
- also disabled screen saver while paused if not set to hide the GS window.
- it's an ugly hack where windows keeps trying to activate the screen saver
every few seconds but such code prevents it (Lilypad has the same hack).
the new code uses windows API which was designed for this.
the screen saver is now disabled while the window is focused and the emulation
is running. it's on by defauly and without GUI - the same as with normal games.
this patch addresses Windows only, but adds a placeholder for future
implementations for other platforms.
ask the OS to asynchronously fetch the next chunk from disk before we actually
use it. We then cancel this request and ignore the data before the next extract
but it's very likely that when extract tries to read from disk the data will
already be cached by the OS.
This frequently allows to overcome HDD seek time (mostly due to fragmentation)
of the compressed file.
PCSX2 applies patches from several sources: GameIndex.dbf, cheats folder,
widescreen patches folder and widescreen patches zip (cheats_ws.zip).
all these patche sources are typically applied whenever any kind of
configuration changes (e.g. aspect ratio etc), depending on config.
typically we want to display all this info at the console/log only on boot,
unless we're in Devel mode or if the user enables the verbose console.
this patch unifies all the verbosity related prints to use PatchesCon, where
this object is controlled according to the conditions (devel mode, boot time,
console mode).
it replaces passing around a "verbose" and includes some more prints which did
not adhere to this policy earlier (e.g. the patches lines were only printed
if verbose console was enabled - now they also print on boot).
warnings and errors are unmodified and always print to the console.
We should have tagged v1.3.0 at 1fb3d7dd17
but we didn't, and tagging v1.3.0 now (HEAD or retroactively) would only create
confusion.
Instead we're setting a new baseline version of 1.3.1 which will be displayed
at the buildbot lists, at pcsx2, and at the git tag.
This doesn't indicate any change to pcsx2 other than aligning the version
numbers of the various places which use it.
1. When changing settings, such as aspect ratio, patches message was spamming
the console, now they don't.
2. Added more verbose patches messages when ELF-log is enabled at the console.
These messages now show whenever patches/cheats are applied, including when
changing settings such as aspect ratio.
3. When rebooting the same game again, some of the cheats messages were not
displayed since it's the same CRC and the logic thought it should remain quiet,
now verbose gets reset on boot which will show all patches messages correctly.
4. Errors/warnings stay the same and not afected by this change.
It explains why first 'register' isn't included in the loop.
Hardware note: it is called a register but in hardware they're just wire
stuck on 0/1, so not a real HW register
this uses <wxString>.mbc_str() instead of .toUTF8() for all file related
stuff.
also normalizes all Console outputs to use WX_STR(str).
TODO: this was only tested on windows.
if someone could test on linux (wx 2.8 and 3.0) that english-only and not
english-only iso.gz file names work correctly (open the file, create the index,
read the index on next boot and that all console prints are good), please
post a comment.
The goal is to reduce the burden for new architecture port.
Patch is mostly inspired from 3kinox initial patch. The diff are
*/ used ifdef instead of raw removal
*/ gui don't rely on UseMicroVU* option
*/ completely remove sVU_micro.* file
At PCSX2_ui.ini: default: GzipIsoIndexTemplate=$(f).pindex.tmp
The rules:
- must contain one and only one instance of '$(f)' (without the quotes)
- if starts with $(f) then it expands to the full path + file name.
- if doesn't start with $(f) then the path is ignored (name+ext only)
- if doesn't start with $(f) and ends up relative,
then it's relative to pcsx2.exe (not to cwd)
- No checks are performed if the result file name can be created, so the dir
should exist.
- PCSX2 will not try to rename/move older index files to the new name/location.
If it's modified - the user should take care of rename/move before loading
gzipped iso files or else it will create a new index according to the template
Examples:
$(f).pindex.tmp - the default - same dir as the iso, loads older index files.
$(f).pindex - a popular request.
cache.gz/$(f) - relative to pcsx2.exe (if the dir exists).
%appdata%/pcsx2/cache.gz/$(f) - should end up at the default install docs dir.
when running with --nogui, PCSX2 knows to exit when the GS window closes.
However, pressing esc (suspend) didn't close the window and instead hidden it.
As a result, PCSX2 didn't exit and remained a zombie process.
this patch closes the gs window on suspend in --nogui mode, which makes PCSX2
exit fully.
it's now also possibly to use --noguiprompt which prompts if esc will exit
PCSX2, and allows the user to abort the suspend and continue using PCSX2.
TODO: if PCSX2 was in full screen - then pressing esc exits full screen. it
would have been ideal to restore full screen, but for now it doesn't.
- don't display a message if the replacement is the same as the default.
- display a message if the key combination is unknown
- (same as before) display a message when replacing a shortcut
- also added PCSX2_keys.ini.default sample file with some help
The method of forcing first-time-wizard wasn't very effective because
1. it's ugly, and 2. after selecting the language at the wizard it either
imports the previous settings (together with the previous language thus
overriding the new language) or resets all other settings - which is not fun.
This patch uses a small dialog instead to only change the language, and within
it reuses the language panel from the first time wizard.
The code was searching only at the default paths for cheats and cheats_ws.
Now it's possible to set UseDefaultCheats[WS] at PCSX2_ui.ini to 'disabled'
and set a custom value to Cheats and/or CheatsWS and PCSX2 will respect it.
