If we know at compile time that the PPC carry flag definitely
has a certain value, we can bake that value into the emitted code
and skip having to read from PPCState.
At a first glance it may look like a part of the code I added to
srawx in efeda3b has a bug when a == s. The code actually happens
to work correctly, but in the interest of making the code easier
to reason about, I'd like to change the way it's implemented. This
change should improve the pipelining a little in the a == s case too.
21c152f added a small hack to DVDInterface to keep WBFS and CISO
files working with Nintendo's "Error #001" anti-piracy check.
Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to support WBFS and
CISO without any kind of hack or heuristic, but what we can do
is replace the 21c152f hack (which applies regardless of file
format) with a hack that only is active when using WBFS or CISO.
This change is similar to 2a5a399, but the disc size is
calculated in a different way.
The loop in WIARVZFileReader::Chunk::Read could terminate
prematurely if the size argument was smaller than the size
of an exception list which had only been partially loaded.
We want to save the currently selected platform tab,
but doing so immediately after switching tabs leads to
unnecessarily much file I/O (on the main thread, no less).
This change makes us defer the saving until later.
In master, the game scanning process looks like this:
1. Scan for games
2. Scan for additional metadata (icon.png and meta.xml)
3. Save the cache if needed
4. Update the game list with the results

Updating the game list as soon as possible means the user
has to wait less before their games show up. The new behavior
matches what DolphinWX did before it was removed. (DolphinQt
has an even fancier approach where games get added one by one.)
The main reason why I'm adding this isn't actually to allow
users to swipe down to refresh, it's to add a loading indicator.
Considering that the Storage Access Framework can be slow for
folders with many items (many subfolders?), not showing a
loading indicator might give users the impression that adding
a folder resulted in nothing happening even though Dolphin is
scanning for games in the background. But I suppose letting
users swipe down to refresh is a nice bonus with the change.
More or less a complete rewrite of the function which aims
to be equally good or better for each given input, without
relying on special cases like the old implementation did.
In particular, we now have more extensive support for
MOVN, as mentioned in a TODO comment.
I don't really see the use of this. (Maybe in the past it
was used for when we need a constant number of instructions
for backpatching? But we don't use MOVI2R for that now.)
PR 9262 added a bunch of Jit64 optimizations, some of
which were already in JitArm64 and some which weren't.
This change ports the latter ones to JitArm64.
Let's reset m_last_used for each register that will be used
in an instruction before we start allocating any of them,
so that one of the earlier allocations doesn't spill a
register that we want in a later allocation. (We must still
also increment/reset m_last_used in R and RW, otherwise we
end up in trouble when emulating lmw/stmw since those access
more guest registers than there are available host registers.)
This should ensure that the asserts added earlier in this
pull request are never triggered.
If the register pressure is high when allocating registers,
Arm64FPRCache may spill a guest register which we are going to
allocate later during the current instruction, which has the
side effect of turning it into double precision. This will have
bad consequences if we are assuming that it is single precision,
so let's add some asserts to detect if that ever happens.
Maybe a little wonky, but I needed a way to run unit tests
on AArch64, and this was the best way of running unit tests
on Android that I could come up with.
At least on some CPUs (I found out about this from the
Arm Cortex-A76 Software Optimization Guide), using X30
with BLR is one cycle slower than using another register.
EmulationActivity has an instance of Settings. If you go to
SettingsActivity from EmulationActivity and change some settings,
the changes get saved to disk, but EmulationActivity's Settings
instance still contains the old settings in its map of all
settings (assuming the EmulationActivity was not killed by the
system to save memory). Then, once you're done playing your
game and exit EmulationActivity, EmulationActivity calls
Settings.saveSettings. This call to saveSettings first overwrites
the entire INI file with its map of all settings (which is
outdated) in order to save any legacy settings that have changed
(which they haven't, since the GUI doesn't let you change legacy
settings while a game is running). Then, it asks the new config
system to write the most up-to-date values available for non-legacy
settings, which should make all the settings be up-to-date again.
The problem here is that the new config system would skip writing
to disk if no settings changes had been made since the last time
we asked it to write to disk (i.e. since SettingsActivity exited).
NB: Calling Settings.loadSettings in EmulationActivity.onResume
is not a working solution. I assume this is because
SettingsActivity saves its settings in onStop and not onPause.
In 8c723d0, I intended to update the main activity, emulation
activity and game properties dialog, but I forgot to actually
update the game properties dialog. This commit fixes that.
The changes outside of GamePropertiesDialog.java are just
to hide the Wii controller settings for GameCube games.
Basically, instead of having one button for config, one button
for graphics settings and so on, we now have just one settings
button which takes you to a screen where you pick between
config/graphics/GameCube controllers/Wii Remotes.
The main reason I want to do this is because people still have
trouble finding Overlay Controls in the "new" in-game menu.
Typically (depending on the screen size and the length of the
game name), the scrollable part of the menu can fit 4 items,
and merging Config and Graphics Settings into one item would
move Overlay Controls from 5th place to 4th place (assuming the
user doesn't have savestates enabled), which makes it findable
even for users who don't realize the menu can be scrolled.
The dialog that's shown when long pressing a game in the game
list is also shortened. While not a pressing matter, I think
it was getting a bit long.
An additional reason to do this is because we probably will
want to make it possible to edit the controller settings
from the in-game menu at some point in the future. With the
old approach, this would require us to dedicate a whopping 4
menu items just for settings (not including Overlay Controls),
which I think is excessive.
