Some homebrew expect exception handlers to be present -- which is
almost always the case on console, since most of the time homebrew are
launched from either a libogc or SDK title) -- and break if they are
not. To fix this, we just need to include default, dummy handlers.
Set HID0, HID4, GPR1 to values that are used by libogc for
initialisation. This makes boots more similar to a launch
from the HBC or another loader, since normally the registers
have already been initialised by the loader.
This fixes a crash in homebrew that assume GPR1 points to a correct
location and attempt to use it before initialising registers.
This removes the hack that enables directly booting from WADs
without installing them first for the following reasons:
1. It makes the NAND content handling much more complicated than what
it should be and makes future changes like permissions or booting
NAND titles without a WAD more annoying to implement.
Because of this hack, we needed an extra level of abstraction
(NANDContent*) which has to read tons of things from the NAND, even
most of the time it's useless. This in turn forces us to have
caching, which is known to break titles and requires manual cache
invalidations. Annoying and error prone.
2. It prevents the WAD boot code from being easily accurate. With this
change, we can simply reuse the existing launch code, and ask IOS
to launch the title from the NAND.
3. The hack did not work that well since it did not cover a lot of ES
commands. And it works even less since the ES accuracy fixes.
This results in Dolphin returning inconsistent results: a
lot of the ES "DI" commands will just fail because the active title
is not installed on the NAND. uid.sys is not changed, etc.
And I'm not even talking about FS stuff -- where this would still
totally fail, unless we add even more unnecessary hacks.
This is not just theoretical -- the system menu and the Wii Shop are
known to behave strangely because the hack damages the NAND
structure, and we've already had several users report issues.
This commit makes it so WADs are always installed prior to launching.
A future commit will remove any code that was there only for the hack.
Settings that come from the SYSCONF are now included in Dolphin's
config system as part of the base layer. They are handled in a
special way compared to other settings to make sure they are only
loaded from and saved to the SYSCONF (to avoid different, possibly
contradicting sources of truth).
It's not specific to WADs. The BS2 emulation boot code will also need
to update the state file.
Move the struct to Boot and add a helper function that will handle
reading + computing the checksum + writing the state file.
This lets VolumeDirectory/DirectoryBlob skip implementing
various volume functions like GetGameID, GetBanner, etc.
It also lets us view extracted discs in the game list.
This ends up breaking the boot process for Wii
DirectoryBlobs due to workarounds being removed from the
boot process, but that will be fixed later by adding
proper DirectoryBlob support for things like TMDs.
We now expect the directories to be laid out in a certain
format (based on the format that WIT uses) instead of requiring
the user to set the DVD root and apploader path settings.
The old approach to detecting DOL/ELF files doesn't fit
with the new way of implementing extracted discs.
The game list is already doing it in a way that's similar
to the approach that this commit uses.
Some code was calling more than one of these functions in a row
(in particular, FileUtil.cpp itself did it a lot...), which is
a waste since it's possible to call stat a single time and then
read all three values from the stat struct. This commit adds a
File::FileInfo class that calls stat once on construction and
then lets Exists/IsDirectory/GetSize be executed very quickly.
The performance improvement mostly matters for functions that
can be handling a lot of files, such as File::ScanDirectoryTree.
I've also done some cleanup in code that uses these functions.
For instance, some code had checks like !Exists() || !IsDirectory(),
which is functionally equivalent to !IsDirectory(), and some
code was using File::GetSize even though there was an IOFile
object that the code could call GetSize on.
They're essentially the same. To achieve this, this commit unifies
DolReader and ElfReader into a common interface for boot executable
readers, so the only remaining difference between ELF and DOL is
how which volume is inserted.
* Move out boot parameters to a separate struct, which is not part
of SConfig/ConfigManager because there is no reason for it to
be there.
* Move out file name parsing and constructing the appropriate params
from paths to a separate function that does that, and only that.
* For every different boot type we support, add a proper struct with
only the required parameters, with descriptive names and use
std::variant to only store what we need.
* Clean up the bHLE_BS2 stuff which made no sense sometimes. Now
instead of using bHLE_BS2 for two different things, both for storing
the user config setting and as a runtime boot parameter,
we simply replace the Disc boot params with BootParameters::IPL.
* Const correctness so it's clear what can or cannot update the config.
* Drop unused parameters and unneeded checks.
* Make a few checks a lot more concise. (Looking at you, extension
checks for disc images.)
* Remove a mildly terrible workaround where we needed to pass an empty
string in order to boot the GC IPL without any game inserted.
(Not required anymore thanks to std::variant and std::optional.)
The motivation for this are multiple: cleaning up and being able to add
support for booting an installed NAND title. Without this change, it'd
be pretty much impossible to implement that.
Also, using std::visit with std::variant makes the compiler do
additional type checks: now we're guaranteed that the boot code will
handle all boot types and no invalid boot type will be possible.
This file is pretty small now that it doesn't handle Wii
partitions anymore, so let's move its contents to Volume.cpp.
This is also more consistent with how blob creation works.
By removing mutable state in VolumeWiiCrypted, this change makes
partition-related code simpler. It also gets rid of other ugly things,
like ISOProperties's "over 9000" loop that creates a list of
partitions by trying possible combinations, and DiscScrubber's
volume swapping that recreates the entire volume when it needs to
change partition.
VolumeDirectory doesn't support necessities like TMDs,
so thanks to 5.0-2172 (18968ab), EmulatedBS2_Wii crashes
when the inserted disc is a VolumeDirectory.
This commit fixes that.
This commit makes our DOL booting code very similar to our
ELF booting code. One exception is that the DOL booting
code still always calls SetupBAT. (Note that EmulatedBS2_GC
calls SetupBAT even if no disc is inserted.) I'm not sure
if there's a point to the difference, but I thought I'd
better avoid changing it so that I don't break anything.
It's better to just let the calling code provide a volume
object instead of needing one SetVolume for each way of
creating a volume. This simplifies InsertDiscCallback and
is needed for the following commits.
This changes the main IOS code (roughly the equivalent of the kernel)
to a class instead of being a set of free functions + tons of static
variables.
The reason for this change is that keeping tons of static variables
like that prevents us from making an IOS instance and reusing IOS
code easily.
Converting the IOS code to a class also allows us to mostly decouple
IOS from the PPC emulation.
The more interesting changes are in Core/IOS/IOS. Everything else is
mostly just boring stuff required by this change...
* Because the devices themselves call back to the main IOS code
for various things (getting the current version, replying to a
request, and other syscall-like functions), just like processes in
IOS call kernel syscalls, we have to pass a reference to the kernel
to anything that uses IOS syscalls.
* Change DoState to save device names instead of device IDs to simplify
AddDevice() and get rid of an ugly static count.
* Change ES_Launch's ack to be sent at IOS boot, now that we can do
this properly.
