Some of the recent reviews on Google Play express trouble finding the
emulation activity menu. One of them thought you were supposed to go
to the settings accessible through the main activity to configure the
virtual controller buttons.
This commit changes the text so that the user now explicitly is told to
swipe down from the top of the screen to access the menu. In exchange,
I removed the exact selections to make in the menu so that the text
wouldn't get too long, but I think it shouldn't be too hard to
understand once you know how to open the menu.
Android can be funky with controller vibration. Of the three controlers I have that contain a
vibrator(PS3, Xbox360, 2017 Shield controller), only the Xbox360 controller registered as having
a vibrator. So YYMV depending on the driver support of the device.
With the nature of android updates invalidating save states, it's best to hide
these options unless enabled by the user. The option to use savestates can now
be enabled via the General settings menu.
Added an option in General config to enable/disable usage statistics. Added a popup on first open if
the user would like to engage in reporting. Clicking cancel or out of the box opts out. Only
clicking 'Ok' will enable reporting. Also added a new android specific values to report.
This sets up default positions for touch buttons so they are not just bunched in the corner on a fresh install. Also added a toast when emulation starts on how to edit button layout
A little background: Android has 8 controller setup, 4 gamecube pads and 4 wiimote pads. When the static GCPadNew.ini and wiimotenew.ini is created, pads 0-3 are gc 1-4, and 4-7 are wii 1-4. Problem was the settings set wii controllers as pads 1-4, instead of 4-7. So any setting for wiimote1, was set for gc2(padID 1). Which is why the only wiimote to work was 4, since it mapped to padID 4, which is actually wiimote1.
Skip ubershader mode works the same as hybrid ubershaders in that the
shaders are compiled asynchronously. However, instead of using the
ubershader to draw the object, it skips it entirely until the
specialized shader is made available.
This mode will likely result in broken effects where a game creates an
EFB copy, and does not redraw it every frame. Therefore, it is not a
recommended option, however, it may result in better performance on
low-end systems.
Android is allowed to pick any path for the external storage media and
that's why we should always use Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
to get the external storage path
This solves the following issues:
1. If user uninstall Dolphin and install it again the resources will
not be copied unless the user manually clear the app cache because we
are enabling the allowBackup flag in the manifest which will make the app
restore the settings saved in the shared prefernces including the flag
assetsCopied. This PR always copy the files everytime you open Dolphin.
2. If the AssetCopyService took long time and you tried to open the settings
screen or start a game the behaviour was not expected or the emulator will
crash, this PR make sure that whatever we add to the DirectoryInitializationService
or how long it will take will still work as expected by blocking both
the settings screen and the emulaion screen to wait untill all resources
needed are copied.
3. Better communication between the DirectoryInitializationService and the
UI screens using brocast messages.
Since these button names are printed on all real controllers,
we should show them in the same way as they are printed on
the controllers, regardless of the user's language. It seems
like this was intended all along (except for "Start"), but the
_ markers in TASInputDlg.cpp (accidentally?) led to the button
names in the controller configs also becoming translatable.
I'm making exceptions for "L" and "R" because translators
may want to mark them in some way (for instance "L-Digital")
to clarify the difference from "L-Analog" and "R-Analog".
I'm also making an exception for START/PAUSE because it's
referred to as スタート in Japanese games.
I'm changing "Home" and "Start" to uppercase for consistency
with how Nintendo refers to those buttons, and because someone
who isn't familiar with the Latin script might not know the
connection between the lowercase and uppercase letters (most
users likely do know the connection, but we shouldn't assume it),
and because leaving "Start" as "Start" makes it "collide" with
unrelated strings, such as the string for the button that starts
a netplay session.
To rename "Start" and "Home" without breaking INI
compatibility, I added a ui_name variable like in f5c82ad.
