ESCore implements the core functionality that can also be used outside of emulation. ESDevice implements the IOS device and is only available during emulation.
This actually eliminates any setting pertaining to SD cards from the
NetPlay dialog, as it would effectively just be a duplicate of the
setting in the Wii pane, potentially causing confusion.
This also enables save data writing by default, as this is probably
what most players want, and should avoid them losing hours of progress
because they forgot to tick a checkbox.

The SaveToSYSCONF call in BootManager.cpp was unintentionally
overriding the temporary NAND set by the preceding
InitializeWiiRoot call. Fixes
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12500.
CopyNandFile must not create empty files on the destination filesystem
if the source file doesn't exist.
Otherwise, this can lead to an empty Mii database being created in the
session Wii root if there's no database in the configured Wii root and
netplay or Movie is used -- that database would then be copied back to
the configured root, which causes games like MKW to complain about
corrupted Mii data even when the player has stopped using netplay.
This commit also simplifies CreateFullPath usage.
There's no need to manually extract the directory from the path,
FS::CreateFullPath does it automatically just like File::CreateFullPath
When booting a Wii game, Dolphin can overwrite certain settings
in the SYSCONF file, such as turning off PAL60 for NTSC games.
Normally, these settings get reverted at the end of emulation, but
this does not happen if Dolphin crashes or force quits in some other
way. (Personally, I have a tendency to use Visual Studio's Stop
Debugging button, which kills the process...)
Dolphin also overwrites certain values in setting.txt when booting
a Wii game. Unlike with SYSCONF, we currently make no effort to
preserve the original values in this file.
This change fixes both of these problems by copying SYSCONF and
setting.txt to the Backup folder when booting a Wii game, and then
copying them back either when launching Dolphin (in case the
previous run of Dolphin crashed) or when ending emulation.
Fixes a regression from #8539.
CreateDirectory was the correct function to use for creating
directories since parent directories already exist and are
not owned by the system menu.
CreateDirectory does not create missing parent directories. If that
behaviour is desired, CreateFullPath should be used instead.
(These small misuses went unnoticed since the previous implementation
of CreateDirectory automatically created parent directories.)
This adds the functionality of sending the host's save data (raw memory
cards, as well as GCI files and Wii saves with a matching GameID) to
all other clients. The data is compressed using LZO1X to greatly reduce
its size while keeping compression/decompression fast. Save
synchronization is enabled by default, and toggleable with a checkbox
in the NetPlay dialog.
On clicking start, if the option is enabled, game boot will be delayed
until all players have received the save data sent by the host. If any
player fails to receive it properly, boot will be cancelled to prevent
desyncs.

More descriptive than having a std::tuple of FS::Mode, and lets us
give names to known triplets of modes (like in ES). Functions that
only forward mode arguments are slightly less verbose now too.
Dolphin doesn't use any of the WC24 files, so this can be done when
actually starting emulation in WiiRoot. The benefit of moving the
copy is that we don't need to handle temporary NANDs in a special way.
{Initialize,Shutdown}WiiRoot should only be responsible for setting the
SESSION_WII_ROOT or managing the temporary NAND directory.
Move all the content manipulation out of these functions to ensure
separation of concerns and call them after/before WiiRoot init/shutdown
to make sure they operate on the correct root.
Since all FS access will go through the new FS interface (PR #6421)
in order to keep track of metadata properly, there is no need to return
absolute paths anymore.
In fact, returning host paths is a roadblock to using the FS interface.
This starts the migration work by adding a way to get paths that are
relative to the Wii NAND instead of always getting absolute paths
on the host FS.
To prepare for future changes, this commit also makes returned paths
canonical by removing the trailing slash when it's unneeded.
Eventually, once everything has been migrated to the new interface,
we can remove the "from" parameter.
It's not common code that could be reused for, say, Citra;
it's absolutely specific to Wii emulation and only used by the Dolphin
core, so let's move it there.
Another reason for doing this is to avoid having Common depend on Core.
It was discovered that some titles rely on filesystem metadata to work
properly. Currently, in master they either simply won't find their
save files (for example Bolt) or will complain about the Wii system
memory being corrupted (on first use or every time depending on
the title).
In order to even be able to keep track of file metadata, we first need
to eliminate all direct accesses to the NAND and make all kinds of
operations go through the filesystem code added in PR 6421.
This commit starts the migration process by making SysConf use
the new FS interface.
I don't see why we need to call ShutdownWiiRoot on InitializeWiiRoot.
Also, atexit? Really? Not only is this unnecessary, it will also cause
ShutdownWiiRoot to be called twice in rapid succession for no reason.
Shouldn't make any difference in practice because
both IsRecordingInput and IsNetPlayRunning should
be false if a temporary NAND isn't being set up,
but doing it this way is cleaner regardless.
