Because the Wii NAND size is finite, mark titles that were installed
only for booting as temporary, and remove them whenever we need to
install another title (to make room). This is exactly what the
System Menu does for temporary SD card title data.
Also clean up the way the system menu label is updated. We don't want
to access the NAND while emulation is running, and especially not
that many times per second on an unpredictable timing.
This commit removes the last usage of NANDContentManager in IOS code.
Another cleanup change is that loading ARM (IOS) binaries is now done
by the kernel in the BootIOS syscall, instead of being handled as a
special case in the MIOS code. This is more similar to how console
works and lets us easily extend the same logic to other IOS binaries
in the future, if we decide to actually load them.
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.
The GameCube's sample rate is slightly different due to a hardware bug.
The exact numbers are (54000000 / 1124) for GameCube and (54000000 / 1125)
on Wii. I also modified 32KHz mode. This fixes audio desyncs in several
GameCube games and severe issues in Sonic Mega Collection.
This updates the maker data to (mostly) mirror that of the Wiki:
https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=GameIDs
Only maker ids from that page are now included in Dolphin. This
means no homebrew/unofficial makers.
Also, separate multiple maker names with a slash
A bunch of changes, looks mainly like bug fixes and code cleanup.
Notable changes:
- `cubeb_get_min_latency`'s signature was changed to take params via
pointer, requiring Dolphin code to be tweaked in two places.
- A fix for kinetiknz/cubeb#320, as reported by @shuffle2
- Fixed build on FreeBSD (kinetiknz/cubeb#344), as contributed by @endrift
Without virtual xfb, the game will show distorted graphics once leaving
the title screen. This adds an INI file to make the game playable.
The wiki page for this game also notes the need for virtual xfb.
Move the parameter extraction earlier on in onCreate. Mostly this moves
setting sIsGameCubeGame to before setContentView, which means
EmulationFragment will always see it in a consistent state. Previously,
there was a race, which mean the controller overlay would randomly be
Wii controls for a GameCube game (since the default is false).
Use the correct support version of things, ActivityOptionsCompat and
transitions
Rename static var mIsGameCubeGame to sIsGameCubeGame. s is static, m is
member.
Make the MenuFragment added and removed by fragment transactions only,
instead of being initially present in the XML. This fixes a glitch where
it doesn't animate correctly the first time it's used.
The Activity is responsible for just its views and menus and such. It
signals the Fragment via setGamePath, StartEmulation and StopEmulation.
The Fragment manages the actual emulation lifecycle. It is solely
responsible for calling the NativeLibrary lifecycle methods.
With this lifecycle simplification, the NativeLibrary no longer needs to
kill the Activity. It happens normally now.
This simplifies a lot of things, live handling rotation.
