Recently we have been getting some requests to make the existing vsync
setting available in the Android GUI:
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13650https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-vsync-toggle-for-android
I don't quite understand why enabling the vsync setting is helpful when
Android already enforces vsync, but I guess having the option available
doesn't hurt. I'm putting the setting under Advanced, unlike in
DolphinQt, since there's no clear reason why the typical user would want
to use this setting.
This PR simply exposes the tapserver options in Serial Port 1 on Android. They already exist and work, but are not selectable. I've tested the tapserver options myself with Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and they work fine.
This implements the GameCube modem adapter. This implementation is stable but not perfect; it drops frames if the receive FIFO length is exceeded. This is probably due to the unimplemented interrupt mentioned in the comments. If the tapserver end of the connection is aware of this limitation, it's easily circumvented by lowering the MTU of the link, but ideally this wouldn't be necessary.
This has been tested with a couple of different versions of Phantasy Star Online, including Episodes 1 & 2 Trial Edition. The Trial Edition is the only version of the game that supports the Modem Adapter and not the Broadband Adapter, which is what made this commit necessary in the first place.
This expands the tapserver BBA interface to be available on all platforms. tapserver itself is still macOS-only, but newserv (the PSO server) is not, and it can directly accept local and remote tapserver connections as well. This makes the tapserver interface potentially useful on all platforms.
Google Play's policies require us to tell the user the size of any large
download.
The size seems to vary by just a megabyte or two across regions in my
testing, so I'm listing a rough size for all the regions.
I'm also taking the opportunity to shorten the message to make it easier
to read.
Some people might wonder where the ability to select an extension
and the Sideways Wii Remote went. This button will take them to the
general settings, which is where those settings now live.
At some point in the future, we should probably move everything to the
general settings. But this pull request is already big enough as it is!
Up until now, there have been two settings on Android that stored the
selected Wii Remote extension: the normal one that's also used on PC,
and a SharedPreferences one that's used by the overlay controls to
determine what controls to show. It is possible for these two to end up
out of sync, and my input changes have made that more likely to happen.
To fix this, let's rework how the overlay controller setting works.
We don't want it to encode the currently selected Wii Remote extension.
However, we can't simply get rid of the setting, because for some Wii
games we need the ability to switch between a GameCube controller and a
Wii Remote. What this commit does is give the user the option to select
any of the 4 GameCube controllers and any of the 4 Wii Remotes. (Before,
controllers 2-4 weren't available in the overlay.) Could be useful for
things like the Psycho Mantis fight in Metal Gear Solid. I'm also
switching from SharedPreferences to Dolphin.ini while I'm at it.
It's missing a lot of features from the PC version for now, like
buttons for inserting functions and the ability to see what the
expression evaluates to. I mostly just wanted to get something in
place so you can set up rumble.
