The special case doesn't appear to make a significant difference in any games, and the current implementation has a (minor, fixable) issue that breaks Super Mario Sunshine (both with a failed assertion (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11742) and a rendering issue (https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/7476)). Hardware testing wasn't able to reproduce the special case, either, so it may just not exist.
PR #9315 contains a fixed implementation of the special case on all video backends, and can serve as a basis for it being reintroduced if it is found to exist under more specific circumstances. For now, I don't see a reason to keep it present.
Turns out, Gamecube games actually do check DILENGTH, and if DILENGTH is at 0, they'll think the transfer completed successfully even if DEINT is used, since after all, surely that means everything was sent. That caused all sorts of issues, from audio looping when a disc is removed since it's re-using the same buffer to just flat-out crashing instead of showing the disc removed screen.
In particular:
- Trying to play audio in a non-ready state returns the state-specific error, not an audio buf error
- Audio status cannot be requested in non-ready states
- The audio buffer cannot be configured in states other than ReadyNoReadsMade
- Using the stop motor command while the motor is already stopped doesn't change states
Additionally, the internal state IDs are used (which distinguish ReadyNoReadsMade and Ready), instead of the state IDs exposed in request error. This makes some of the weird behavior a bit more obvious.
State and error behavior of the seek command was not implemented in this commit.
Otherwise, a line that's too wide for the log widget will cause the horizontal scroll bar to appear, which reduces the vertical height, and causes the most recent line to be off screen. Since that line is off screen, the log widget no longer scrolls as new lines appear, unless it's manually scrolled to the very bottom again.
Partitions are Wii-exclusive, and don't happen at the DVDInterface level in
IOS. This isn't quite the cleanest fix, but it gets rid of the assumption that
a partition is open on starting the game at least.
The various ioctls sometimes have different arguments than the DI command
registers, though they generally overlap. There are also a bunch of ioctls
that don't even normally go into DVDInterface, just returning various data.
Some of the implemented ioctls are new to Dolphin.
Previously, only Mii data was written. Additionally, the file containing mii data was shared for all Wiimotes, which made it a lot less useful.
Additionally, the file was read/written on each Wiimote read, even though the whole EEPROM was kept in memory. This was bad for performance and not particularly necessary (it did enforce that the data was properly shared between all Wiimotes, but that's not something I want).
Bug 1: subcommand 1 of 0xE1 does not actually reset the current position; it just stops playback. 0xE2 returns the same value it would have before stopping playback (other than reporting that the stream is stopped).
Bug 2: subcommand 3 of 0xE2 was incorrectly dividing the length by 4; while this makes sense for positions (which are multiplied by 4 earlier to get a byte offset), it is not correct for lengths.
Previously, IR calibration data with an invalid checksum was used, because the calibration produced a strange offset. I've replaced it with calibration data that encodes the same values as the data Nintendo falls back to when the checksum is bad.
It already is disabled for other backends, but this didn't happen with the software renderer. Attempting to change it while running causes the change to visually happen (including switching to the normal render settings UI instead of the barren one for the software renderer), but doesn't actually change the backend itself (it'll still use the software renderer at the next launch).
WindowModal allows alt+tabing to the render window, but prohibits interaction
with parent windows (controller settings window and the main dolphin window).
