When booting a Wii game, Dolphin can overwrite certain settings
in the SYSCONF file, such as turning off PAL60 for NTSC games.
Normally, these settings get reverted at the end of emulation, but
this does not happen if Dolphin crashes or force quits in some other
way. (Personally, I have a tendency to use Visual Studio's Stop
Debugging button, which kills the process...)
Dolphin also overwrites certain values in setting.txt when booting
a Wii game. Unlike with SYSCONF, we currently make no effort to
preserve the original values in this file.
This change fixes both of these problems by copying SYSCONF and
setting.txt to the Backup folder when booting a Wii game, and then
copying them back either when launching Dolphin (in case the
previous run of Dolphin crashed) or when ending emulation.
This changes channel syncing to happen when the operating system is
Android TV rather than when TvMainActivity is launched. (You can run
TvMainActivity on a phone by specifying a launch activity manually
in Android Studio, which I do sometimes for testing purposes. Without
this change, you get an exception when channel syncing runs.)
This is an alternative to PR 8557 and PR 8558. The way this PR solves
the problem is essentially the same as what we had before PR 8394
(except the code we had back then only worked because it was broken).
See the discussion in https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11930.
(This probably doesn't really fix that issue, but it's something
I thought would make sense anyway.)
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/11911 and makes the range of
values when using touch controls correct. Also affects the range of
values for physical controllers in a way that may or may not be
desirable, depending on the controller model. (If there are
undesirable effects, they would be that the range of inputs is too
small, especially diagonally.) Such is our messy Android input system.
Should be an improvement on the whole for physical controllers, though.
We must set Java_GCAdapter.manager before the GC adapter thread (C++)
starts. We used to set it at emulation start, which was fine until
9f3f45a made the GC adapter thread start much earlier.
Fixes using DirectoryBlob on extracted games that were unencrypted
prior to being extracted.
(One day I'll make DirectoryBlob actually support raw reads and then
the order of these two won't matter...)
Because trying to fit a 3:1 banner into a circle looks very awkward.
Also move the banner below the title/description now that it
takes up more space horizontally.
When using motion controls, it's useful to be able to lock the screen
to a certain orientation so that Android won't interpret game motions
as an intent to change the screen orientation. To this end, I've
changed the existing orientation lock setting in the following ways:
- A portrait lock mode has been added in addition to the existing
landscape lock mode and unlocked mode.
- The landscape lock mode now locks to regular landscape rather than
letting you change between the two possible landscape orientations.
- The setting is now accessed during emulation rather than outside.
Not that this has much relation to the rest of the PR, but it's an
easy fix that we might as well throw in while we're already
overwriting everyone's WiimoteNew.ini.
The workaround was added in 0446a58.
The underlying problem is that we must not destroy the surface
while the video backend is initializing, otherwise the video
backend may reference nullptr.
I've also cleaned up the logic for when to destroy the surface.
Note that the comment in EmulationFragment.java about only being
able to destroy the surface when emulation is running is not true
anymore (due to de632fc, it seems like).
This happens if someone manually downloads a regular datfile from
redump.org and puts it where Dolphin stores datfiles. Dolphin needs
"special" datfiles that contain fields for serials and versions.
Before this change, all discs (except Datel discs) would show up as
"Unknown disc" when using a regular datfile.

This also includes another change: DolphinQt will now exit with an
error if you use --batch without specifying a game using any method
(unlike in the past where --batch would be ignored if you didn't
specify a game using --exec, even if you had used --nand-title).
The main reason why I did this was because coding the alternative
(ignoring --batch) would be annoying with render to main involved.
Datel's Wii Freeloaders set m_PictureConfiguration.WPL to 0 for
a while. Not sure if the fix in this commit is a proper fix or
just a hack, since I'm not very familiar with this code.
With this change, it's possible to run a Wii Freeloader if you
are running an old enough version of the Wii Menu, but the
"coloured bars" that Datel reference in their documentation
never show up. The screen just freezes for a few seconds instead.
