These changes originate from testing the behaviour of the PI registers
in Linux on my Wii.
I started by testing the masks, writing 0xFFFF_FFFF to the registers on
the Wii, and then got told about their value on a GameCube, and then
figured out most of the registers through a discussion with Extrems.
This change was causing some issues:
> Made FMT_STRING a no-op when FMT_USE_CONSTEVAL is enabled, since the consteval format-string constructor already provides compile-time validation (#4611, #4612). Thanks @friedkeenan.
We had some code in VolumeVerifier to catch the error message that
Redump.org used to show when trying to access the Wii datfile without
logging in. This restriction was removed from Redump.org around the
start of 2022, and the code has been unnecessary ever since.
When we added the RetroAchievements integration, we had a discussion
about whether sending version information in the user agent was fine
from a privacy standpoint. We reached the conclusion that it was okay,
but it was conditional on the website having a privacy policy. Neither
incarnation of Redump has that, and Redump also never asked us to send
version information like RetroAchievements did, so let's use a user
agent that just says "Dolphin" when connecting to Redump.
All the staff of Redump (except the absentee sysadmin) have decided to
start a new version of the website at redump.info. It has every disc
from the old site, it has HTTPS, it isn't buckling under the load of AI
scrapers, and moving forward, all adding and verifying of discs is going
to be happening on the new website only. Let's move over.
I've taken the unusual step of updating the translation files manually.
This is because we're very close to a release and because the change is
simple enough that I feel confident about making the change to languages
I don't speak. (I double checked that the Korean translation doesn't
ever follow "Redump.org" by a particle that has a different form
depending on whether there's a final consonant.)
Found out when attempting to make a speed hack to help Dolphin detect an idle loop. The inserted `nop` was preventing it from considering it an idle loop.
This makes us savestate the NAND using the same APIs the guest uses
instead of directly touching the host files. This solves several
problems:
* If the user loaded a malicious savestate, it could use path traversal
to overwrite arbitrary files on the host file system. (Reported by
MrSynAckster.)
* Metadata (UID, GID, attribute, modes) wasn't being savestated.
* NAND redirects weren't handled, except for NAND redirects at the root
of where the savestate was being done. (This only possibly matters if
TASing a Riivolution patch. The root of the savestate is at /tmp when
not TASing, and the only case where we do a NAND redirect is inside
/title if requested by a Riivolution patch.)
The conditions were in reverse order (maybe someone was reading the
PowerPC manual and forgot about IBM's bit numbering), and additionally
the two conditions for unsigned comparison were wrong.
Fixes https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/14054.
Reported by MrSynAckster. A specifically crafted NAND dump could use
path traversal to overwrite files on the host file system.
This is also an accuracy fix for importing NAND dumps that contain
file names that Dolphin is supposed to escape. Some games' save files
are affected.
GetPath has two special cases where it doesn't add a slash.
The first is for the root entry's special name "/". The next commit will
be neater if we can skip calling GetPath for the root entry, because '/'
is one of the characters that Common::EscapeFileName replaces with an
escape sequence. Let's check for entry number 0 instead.
The second is for parent paths that already end in a slash. There's no
actual need to check for this - double slashes are harmless, and for
comparison, NANDImporter::ExtractCertificates already appends slashes
without checking if there already is one. Let's remove this check.
