This feature allows overriding the frequency of the Vertical Blank Interrupt. For many games, this means that their gameplay speed will change without affecting audio, which would be useful by itself (e.g. grinding in RPGs).
However, there are games that use delta time for their game logic, which allows them to be played at >60 FPS at the same gameplay speed!
Some games aren't dynamic though, and require a patch to adjust their game speed variable.
On real hardware, stswi and stswx don't trigger any of the special
behavior for uncached unaligned writes that was implemented in 543ed8a.
This is confirmed by a hwtest (a new commit in
https://github.com/dolphin-emu/hwtests/pull/42).
This change fixes Dolphin's stswi and stswx implementations so they stop
triggering the special behavior, bringing them back to the behavior they
had before 543ed8a. No games are known to be affected, but Extrems has
reported that it affects homebrew they've made.
This message can be sent a lot when polling inputs from a keyboard. HIDv5.cpp doesn't log INTRMSG in such a way. If needed, log messages can be added into specific devices instead.
The clone of system memory used by AchievementManager during achievement development for the sake of thread decoupling was only copying MEM1; this grabs MEM2 as well if it exists.
Within AchievementManager, CloseGame being called when LoadGame fails was causing m_queue.Cancel to be called within a lock when Cancel itself locks until it is empty, causing a deadlock. This is resolved by cancelling the queues outside of the lock when they are safe to wait for resolutions.
A new class that derives from `QMenu` has been introduced. Menus of this
`NonAutodismissibleMenu` type will stay visible when a _checkable_
action is triggered.
This is convenient in menus that feature a series of check boxes that
toggle visibility of third components (e.g. the **List Columns** menu),
allowing the user to toggle several actions at once.
For now, the new type is used in the top menu bar.
Verify a touchpad is present before polling it for input. Without this
check the Debug log is spammed with the message "error: Parameter
'touchpad' is invalid" if you have a controller without a touchpad.
One would think every touchpad supports at least 1 finger, but in case
there's some weird edge case check the finger count to be sure.
