4319 made Dolphin not read/write directly to the SYSCONF and read
settings from the SYSCONF at boot, and only write Dolphin settings
to the SYSCONF at emulation startup.
However, this also made it a bit confusing, because if settings were
changed, then Dolphin was exited without starting a game in between,
the settings wouldn't actually get persisted. This is fixed by
syncing Dolphin settings with the SYSCONF when Dolphin exits.
Instead of directly reading/storing settings from/to the SYSCONF, we
now store Wii settings to Dolphin's own configuration, and apply them
on boot. This prevents issues with settings not being saved, being
overridden and lost (if the user opens a dialog that writes to the
SYSCONF while a game is running).
This also fixes restoring settings from the config cache after a
graceful shutdown; for some reason, settings were only restored
after a normal shutdown.
Fixes issue 9825 and 9826
This stores the address of paired devices and associated link keys.
It is needed because some adapters forget all stored link keys when
they are reset, which breaks pairings because the Wii relies on the
Bluetooth module to remember them.
It doesn't fix adapters that can't remember any link key
at all and always return 0 for the number of stored/written link keys.
For those adapters, there is no fix.
This also improves the usability of passthrough mode for adapters that
already work, since pairings will now keep working even if the link
keys get cleared by something else (for example by the host Bluetooth
stack).
This adds the ability to passthrough a whole Bluetooth adapter and skip
the majority of the Bluetooth emulation code. We use libusb to send HCI
commands, receive HCI events and transfer ACL data directly to the
first adapter that is found or to a specific adapter (if configured to)
This is possible because the Wii's Bluetooth module is actually just
a pretty standard Bluetooth adapter…
…except for two vendor-specific commands, for which replies are faked,
and also for the sync button. This adds a hotkey that works in the
exact same way as the sync button would on a Wii: it triggers an HCI
event, which emulated software interpret as a command to perform
a BT inquiry.
This commit also changes the UI code to expose passthrough mode
and WII_IPC_HLE to be a bit more thread safe (for the device map).
When 5.0-211 updated wxWidgets to 3.1.0, some entries in the
wxLanguage enum were moved and added, changing the wxLanguage
values. Because we save Dolphin's interface language to disk
as a wxLanguage, the language you have set will mean something
different depending on whether you have the updated wx version
or not. For instance, setting the language to English with the
updated version and then using an older version will make
Dolphin use Dutch. Because we can't rely on the enum anymore,
I'm replacing the "Language" setting with a "LanguageCode"
setting that uses standard ISO 639 codes.
At first there weren't many enums in Volume.h, but the number has been
growing, and I'm planning to add one more for regions. To not make
Volume.h too large, and to avoid needing to include Volume.h in code
that doesn't use volume objects, I'm moving the enums to a new file.
I'm also turning them into enum classes while I'm at it.
Fully opt-in, reports to analytics.dolphin-emu.org over SSL. Collects system
information and settings at Dolphin start time and game start time.
UI not implemented yet, so users are required to opt in through config editing.
Since all Virtual console releases use the same emulator (though there
are multiple revisions some emulators) and generally need the same
setting, this commit allows the creation of INI files which cover all
Virtual Console games fow each system.
For example, F.ini can provide settings that all NES games have in common
and C.ini will provide settings for all Commadore 64 games.
If needed, a 3 letter ini can override settings for individual games.
Dolphin has supported the recalibration shortcut (X+Y+Start) for quite a long while. So if someont's axises are terrible, you could easily
recalibrate.
Games even get the initial calibration upon boot(Most of the time).
While changing over the GCAdapter code, I was testing to make sure the reset and calibration shortcuts still worked, turns out they didn't work at
all.
Looking in to the problem, we capture the combination properly, and we wait three seconds until we actually fire that off recalibration.
The problem is for Nintendo's SDK to properly handle recalibrating, we need to send back data saying that it needs to recalibrate.
On hardware this is done as part of the 64bits of data the controller sends back to us.
On holding of the controller, bit 61 of the return value is set, which the Nintendo SDK catches, and then signals immediately afterwards a CMD_ORIGIN
command in order to recalibrate the controller.
We were outright ignoring this bit, so the library wasn't ever recalibrating. I suspect in the past the class itself used to use the calibration data
to to offset the data, but somewhere along the lines it got munged out of existence.
The Gamecube adapter does this shortcut in a bit of a unique way, instead of sending the command and having the library support it and what have you.
Once holding the shortcut for the amount of time, the adapter reports back that the controller has actually been disconnected. Then when you let go of
the combination, the adapter states that a new device has been connected to that port, and the recalibration happens because a new device is
"connected."
This fixes controller calibration for both emulated GC controllers and also the Wii Gamecube Adapter.
We don't throttle by frames, we throttle by coretiming speed.
So looking up VI for calculating the speed was just very wrong.
The new ini option is a float, 1.0f for fullspeed.
In the GUI, percentual values are used.
The Wii U Gamecube controller adapter setup has always been a bit weird. It tries to be as automatic as possible to make the user experience as easy
as possible.
The problem with this approach is that it brings a large disconnect in the user experience because you have the Gamecube controller setup with regular
gamepads and then for some reason below that you have a "direct connect" option which will cause the Gamecube Adapter to overwrite the regular inputs
if something was connected.
While this works and allows the user to only click one checkbox to get the device working, it breaks the user's experience because they don't really
know what "direct connect" means and won't look it up to figure out what it is. Just expecting the device to work (At least one occurence of this in
the IRC channel in the last week).
This way around also had the terrible nature of making the code more filthy than it needed to be. The GCAdapter namespace was parasitic and hooked in
to the regular GC Controller SI class to overwrite the data that it was getting from the default configuration.
Now instead we have a specific SIDevice class for the Wii U Gamecube adapter. This class is fairly simple and is a child of the regular SI Gamecube
Pad device and only reimplements what it needs to.
This also gives the ability to configure controllers individually, which allows the user to configure rumble individually per pad input.
Overall the code is cleaner, and it fits more in line with how the rest of Dolphin works.
It's used by both the GUI to do things like install WADs and check up on
the system menu, in which case the global root should be used, and by
/dev/es, in which case the local one should. The latter isn't
*terribly* useful today, since no contents will ever be installed in
temporary roots (although it's still relevant for data directories), but
converting the whole thing makes sense because then it will Just Work
once the entire NAND is synced.
Because it would have been a bit of work to split it up (but I can if
desired), this commit also contains some basic cleanup of
NANDContentLoader:
(1) The useless interface class INANDContentLoader is removed and the
methods are changed to just return CNANDContentLoader (the only
implementation);
(2) CNANDContentManager is changed to use unique_ptr and cleaned up a
bit.
