Also clean up the way the system menu label is updated. We don't want
to access the NAND while emulation is running, and especially not
that many times per second on an unpredictable timing.
This commit removes the last usage of NANDContentManager in IOS code.
Another cleanup change is that loading ARM (IOS) binaries is now done
by the kernel in the BootIOS syscall, instead of being handled as a
special case in the MIOS code. This is more similar to how console
works and lets us easily extend the same logic to other IOS binaries
in the future, if we decide to actually load them.
This removes the hack that enables directly booting from WADs
without installing them first for the following reasons:
1. It makes the NAND content handling much more complicated than what
it should be and makes future changes like permissions or booting
NAND titles without a WAD more annoying to implement.
Because of this hack, we needed an extra level of abstraction
(NANDContent*) which has to read tons of things from the NAND, even
most of the time it's useless. This in turn forces us to have
caching, which is known to break titles and requires manual cache
invalidations. Annoying and error prone.
2. It prevents the WAD boot code from being easily accurate. With this
change, we can simply reuse the existing launch code, and ask IOS
to launch the title from the NAND.
3. The hack did not work that well since it did not cover a lot of ES
commands. And it works even less since the ES accuracy fixes.
This results in Dolphin returning inconsistent results: a
lot of the ES "DI" commands will just fail because the active title
is not installed on the NAND. uid.sys is not changed, etc.
And I'm not even talking about FS stuff -- where this would still
totally fail, unless we add even more unnecessary hacks.
This is not just theoretical -- the system menu and the Wii Shop are
known to behave strangely because the hack damages the NAND
structure, and we've already had several users report issues.
This commit makes it so WADs are always installed prior to launching.
A future commit will remove any code that was there only for the hack.
Change the repair logic to fix issues more aggressively by deleting bad
titles. This is necessary because of a bug in Dolphin's WAD boot code.
The UI code was updated to inform the user about titles that will be
deleted if they continue a repair, before deleting anything.
Old versions of Dolphin are so broken regarding NAND handling that
we need this to repair common issues and avoid issues with titles
like the System Menu or the Wii Shop.
This isn't an exhaustive check, but this will catch most issues
and offer to fix them automatically (if possible).
The newer title dumpers don't clobber tickets anymore (that's good!),
which means personalised tickets still have the console specific data
used to decrypt the title key in them. Dolphin should ignore that data
when importing WADs, because the title key has already been decrypted,
and we must not try to decrypt it *again*.
Makes the toolbar look more comfortable instead of all squished
together, and more similar to our current look.
Instead of setting a hardcoded minimal size for buttons, MakeActions()
now uses the maximum size hint width.
* remove useless units after 'zero' values
* reduce the size of 'Dolphin' to be more reasonable and look better
* avoid hardcoding the normal and small font sizes
Just create the AboutDialog on the stack -- the actual object lives on
the heap anyway, since Qt uses the pimpl idiom. Removes the need for
an explicit new and a special delete on close attribute.
There are two special cases that the DSP accelerator handles in a
special way: when the end address is of the form xxxxxxx0 or
xxxxxxx1.
For these two cases, the normal overflow handling doesn't apply.
Instead, the overflow check is different, the ACCOV exception never
fires at all, the predscale register is not updated, reads are not
suspended, and if the end address is 16-byte aligned, the DSP loops
back to start_address + 1 instead of the regular start_address.
When an ACCOV is triggered, the accelerator stops reading back anything
and updating the current address until the YN2 register is set.
This is kept track of internally by the DSP; this state is not exposed
via any register.
However, we need to emulate this behaviour correctly because some
ucodes rely on it (notably AX GC); failure to emulate it will result
in reading past the end and start address for non-looped voices.
When the current address is xxxxxxxf, after doing the standard ADPCM
decoding and incrementing the current address as usual to get the
next address, the DSP will update the predscale register by reading
2 bytes from memory, and add two to get the next address.
This means xxxxxx10 cannot be a current address, as the DSP goes
from 0f to 12 directly.
A more serious issue with the old code is that if the start address
is 16-byte aligned, some samples will always be skipped, even when
that should not be the case.
An easy way to test whether this behaviour is correct is to check
the current address register and the predscale after each read.
Old code:
...
ACCA=00000002, predscale=<value>
ACCA=00000003, predscale=<value>
...
ACCA=0000000f, predscale=<value>
ACCA=00000010, predscale=<another value>
ACCA=00000013, predscale=<another value>
ACCA=00000014, predscale=<another value>
...
New code (and console):
...
ACCA=00000002, predscale=<value>
ACCA=00000003, predscale=<value>
...
ACCA=0000000f, predscale=<value>
ACCA=00000012, predscale=<another value>
ACCA=00000013, predscale=<another value>
...
Slightly cleaner, allows DSP accelerator behaviour to be
added to both HLE and LLE pretty easily, and makes the accelerator
easier to unit test.
I chose to include all accelerator state as private members, and
to expose state that is accessible via registers with getters/setters.
It's more verbose, yes, but it makes it very clear what is part of
the accelerator state and what isn't (e.g. coefs).
This works quite well for registers, since the accelerator can do
whatever it wants internally. For example, the start/end/current
addresses are masked -- having a getter/setter makes it easier to
enforce the mask.
This adds a test ucode that can be used to check the accelerator loop
behaviour with various start/end addresses.
It's actually more of a test template than a ready to use test.
The logic is entirely the same; only the inputs and outputs are
different, so deduplicating makes sense.
This will make fixing accelerator issues easier.
Based on hardware tests, masking occurs for the accelerator registers.
This fixes Red Steel and Far Cry Vengeance, which rely on this behavior
when reading back the current playback position from the DSP.
* IOCTL_WFSI_PREPARE_DEVICE -> IOCTL_WFSI_IMPORT_TITLE_INIT
(equivalent of ES_ImportTitleInit, also the official name)
* IOCTL_WFSI_IMPORT_TITLE -> IOCTL_WFSI_IMPORT_TITLE_CANCEL
(equivalent of ES_ImportTitleCancel)
Makes it easier to turn off general IOS messages that can be
distracting (e.g. /dev/net/ssl being opened hundreds of time...)
without losing the ability to view WFS messages.
Since we don't want users to have to configure the region manually
and always enforce one automatically, we should fall back to a region
that was likely to be chosen by the user instead of always using
PAL whenever the title region cannot be detected.
Dolphin doesn't mess with installed NAND titles like the system menu,
so it is a reliable indicator of what region the user wants.
* Add missing Language setting loading/saving. This was added after the
original OnionConfig PR, which is why support for it was missing.
* Change MovieConfigLoader to reuse ConfigInfos. Less duplication.
* Extract MovieConfigLoader::Save into SaveToDTM. The DTM should use
the current config and not just the movie layer. This makes more
sense than just saving the movie layer, which may not always exist,
and also fixes a crash that would happen when creating a new
recording because the movie layer wouldn't exist in that case.
(Plus, having to get the loader from the layer and call ChangeDTM
on it manually is not very pretty.)
Not really used anywhere yet, but useful for not having to duplicate
config locations and for getting rid of conflicts when I get around
to rebase my Main.Core and Main.DSP porting PR.
Settings that come from the SYSCONF are now included in Dolphin's
config system as part of the base layer. They are handled in a
special way compared to other settings to make sure they are only
loaded from and saved to the SYSCONF (to avoid different, possibly
contradicting sources of truth).
This adds a WiiWad constructor that takes a BlobReader, so that the
class can be used with more than just files from the host filesystem.
Required for using WiiWad with WADs from update partitions.
Must be 9 characters at most; otherwise the serial number will be
rejected by SDK libraries, as there is a check to ensure the string
length is strictly lower than 10.
Writing to 0x60 does actually not "init exception[s]" or anything like
that. Not at all. Rather, it *breaks* a check in Nintendo's SDK, which
makes it fail to realise that the hook hasn't been set up.
This prevents the SDK initialisation routines from writing the rest of
the hook instructions (total: 0x20 bytes), which in turn causes an
anti-piracy check to fail in some Ubisoft games (including Tintin).
Dolphin can be really amazing sometimes.
No clue where people got the 0 value from, or why it's labelled as
"time". As far as I can tell, it is always set to 0xffffffff by
official NAND titles, including the system menu.
It's not specific to WADs. The BS2 emulation boot code will also need
to update the state file.
Move the struct to Boot and add a helper function that will handle
reading + computing the checksum + writing the state file.
Wii.Widescreen is a setting that cannot be changed on the fly after
emulation has started, so anything booted after the initial title
will have an unexpected aspect ratio.
We can just set Video_Settings.AspectRatio instead, which *can* be live
changed, since it doesn't involve messing with the SYSCONF at any time.
This is also much closer to the behaviour of the Wii U, which
configures the DMCU to force 4:3 transparently, instead of doing it the
intrusive way (touching the SYSCONF).
