Normal users don't care about it. In fact, people care so
little about it that the Wii implementation of it was broken
starting from when it was implemented (eb65601) to 7 years
later (e0a47c1), apparently without anyone reporting it.
This makes the interface slightly cleaner and a bit more consistent
with the other getters. Still not fully the same, since the others
don't really handle failures with std::optional; but at least the
value is returned by value now, as opposed to having the function
take a pointer to a u64.
This gets rid of some assumptions that non-DiscIO code was making about
volume types. It's better to encapsulate as many of the volume type
differences as possible in DiscIO.
Made possible by PR #2353.
This makes it hard to support different boot params for different boot
types. We should not be making the assumption that Dolphin will
always be booting directly from a file (and in particular, only
using a string).
It's incompatible with future changes that will allow Dolphin to boot
a NAND title properly from well, the NAND, as opposed to booting from
WADs. (And no, treating the title TMD as a "bootable" path doesn't
count. Especially when that approach won't work with NAND images
or IOS LLE.)
And it's confusing to expose this functionality from the UI. It's
pretty bad for UX to change the play button's behaviour depending on
whether the user has launched something before, configured a default
file to boot, added a directory to their game paths.
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.
This is something that should be the responsibility of the frontend
booting the game. Making this part of the host 'interface' inherently
requires frontends to leak internal details (much like the other
UI-related functions in the interface).
This also decouples more behavior from the debugger and the
initialization process in the wx frontend. This also eliminates several
usages of the parent menubar in the debugger code window.
These cannot be booted, so it is bad UX to show them in the UI as if
they were regular titles, and yet have different behaviour for them.
And technically, there is no reason to allow them to be used to boot
in the first place.
Another reason they should not be shown is that Dolphin fails
spectacularly with WADs that have a valid boot content index, but are
not PPC titles (e.g. IOS WADs). The only reliable way to avoid this
is to check for the title type and only show channels, just like
the Wii System Menu.
Just like DeleteTitle, Using CNANDContentManager is overkill,
inefficient and useless. And it results in a few failures in
situations where a delete should just always work.
But here it gets bonus points, because it manages to actually use
the TMD for deleting contents, when IOS does none of that and just
deletes files ending with .app in the title content directory. :)
Default column width was being used for math related to automatic column sizing, in the case of COLUMN_SIZE the default width was -1 which resulted in an issue where an errant scrollbar would appear.
The MemoryWindow.cpp strings should be the same as the
MemoryCheckDlg.cpp strings so that translators don't
have to translate very similar strings twice.
Also adding i18n comments. These strings are *very* easy
to misinterpret in my opinion.
This is unsafe, because the NAND should not be accessed and messed with
while it is being used. In fact, this kind of inappropriate behaviour
will not be possible when we get NAND image support.
And even if there were no safety issue, there is still no reason
a *getter* function should *do* something that has lasting effects
on user data. GetWiiFSPath() should *just* return a path!
Since these button names are printed on all real controllers,
we should show them in the same way as they are printed on
the controllers, regardless of the user's language. It seems
like this was intended all along (except for "Start"), but the
_ markers in TASInputDlg.cpp (accidentally?) led to the button
names in the controller configs also becoming translatable.
I'm making exceptions for "L" and "R" because translators
may want to mark them in some way (for instance "L-Digital")
to clarify the difference from "L-Analog" and "R-Analog".
I'm also making an exception for START/PAUSE because it's
referred to as スタート in Japanese games.
I'm changing "Home" and "Start" to uppercase for consistency
with how Nintendo refers to those buttons, and because someone
who isn't familiar with the Latin script might not know the
connection between the lowercase and uppercase letters (most
users likely do know the connection, but we shouldn't assume it),
and because leaving "Start" as "Start" makes it "collide" with
unrelated strings, such as the string for the button that starts
a netplay session.
To rename "Start" and "Home" without breaking INI
compatibility, I added a ui_name variable like in f5c82ad.
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.
Some strings were marked with _trans in some places but not
others. This commit adds extra _trans markers so that the
usage of _trans is consistent.
This shouldn't have any effect on which strings actually get
translated. (Note that _trans doesn't do anything at runtime.)
I also added a few new i18n comments.
std::string's operator+ will handle this. Also move std::string to where
they're actually needed. There's no need to construct an unnecessary
string if the first failure case occurs.
GTK2 is a dependency on Linux whenever USE_X11 is true, but we were
not linking or adding the include directory for GTK for DolphinWX.
Fixes a regression introduced by 6197d9622.
Simple quality-of-life addition that allows "uninstalling" WADs
(removing the corresponding installed title) from the NAND.
The option is only enabled when the WAD can be uninstalled
The motivation for this is actually to encourage proper usage of the
WAD launch feature (installing it to the NAND first), so we can
drop the "direct WAD title launch" hack.
