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 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.
These settings are already loaded and saved to the SYSCONF. The INI
load/saves are redundant and do not work anyway because they are
overwritten by SYSCONF.
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.
For thread safety reasons, the currently inserted volume must
only be accessed by the DVD thread (or by the CPU thread if it
calls DVDThread::WaitUntilIdle() first). After this commit,
only DVDThread.cpp can access the volume, which prevents code in
other files from accessing the volume in a non-threadsafe way.
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.
The average user doesn't care, and for users who mix NTSC and PAL games
it avoids the "Memory Card is formatted for another market" message. For
non-average users, it's probably fine to have save data as separate
files anyways.
Might need some interface/string changes to explain what GCI Folder is
and why it's the default?
We can do this now that the x86-64 JIT supports PIE.
JITIL is deliberately excluded from the GUI because it
doesn't support PIE yet. (JITIL will be used if it's
set in the INI, though.)
5.0-2712 made ES's code for setting the game ID use the
title ID converted to hex (except for disc titles) instead
of using a 6-char game ID like before. Then, 5.0-2830 made
us use that code even when loading game INIs. This breaks the
expectations of both users and the game INIs we ship with.
This commit makes Dolphin use 6-char game IDs for all
titles (unless the 6-char ID would contain unprintable
characters, which is the case with e.g. the Wii Menu).
I'm also putting unprintability checks in VolumeWad
for consistency.
Places all of the SI code under the SerialInterface namespace instead of
only the main source file. This keeps all SI code under a common name,
as well as out of the global namespace
Defaulting to SSL verification off, *and* forcing it to be off even
when the emulated software asks us to enable it is very bad behaviour,
inaccurate and insecure.
Because the old option defaulted to off, we have to change the INI
option name to force the new default to be used. Unfortunate,
but without this we cannot ensure our users' security.
PR #3582 removed VolumeIsValid, then PR #3582 added a call
to VolumeIsValid, then both PRs were merged without either
of them being rebased on top of the other.
We already have a TMDReader, so let's actually use it.
And move ESFormats to IOS::ES, since it's definitely part of IOS.
This adds a DiscIO dependency on Core which will be fixed in a
follow-up PR.
- There's no clear definition of what it means for a GC/Wii game
to be compressed. GC games in GCZ are obviously compressed,
but what about formats like WBFS and CISO that just discard data?
- Hardcoded colors might have bad contrast with the used theme.
- It feels Windows XP to me.
