These operations should always take the same amount of time,
not the same amount of ticks. The number of ticks per second
is different for GameCube and Wii.
Previously the default queryed the controller 4500 times a second,
Wasn't really a problem for most games as they set it to a sane
value. But fifoplayer didn't, and so in my profile dolphin spends
12% of the cpu time reading the controllers.
This new default value (I just took what the gamecube bios set)
drops that to 1.2% of cpu time and increase the framerate of the
silent hill fifo by 10-12%
* Changed the SI buffer processing so that transfers do not have to be completed instantly
* Added a second socket at port 49420 (0xc10c) which sends clock information to the GBA slaves
* Handled disconnections from the GBA and GC
* Made the transfers asynchronous
* Blocks the socket before the connection times out
Requires VBA-M SVN 1235 or later.
The libusb driver must be installed on the adapter (e.g. zadig can be used to install the driver in Windows). GameCube pad controllers are supported and will override the current input device assigned to the port. GameCube controller buttons are auto-configured and cannot be re-assigned. Rumble is supported. Hotplug is supported while playing a game. If a controller is unplugged from the adapter, Dolphin will fallback to using the host input device on that port. If a port on the adapter is unused, Dolphin will use the host input device for that port, allowing a mixture of host input devices and controllers connected to the adapter.
The adapter support can be disabled in the Controllers config if the OS driver is preferred (allowing the pad buttons to be reconfigured).
One adapter per system is supported.
Move enums for max SI and EXI devices to their respective .h file, and rename them.
Use only those enums in BootManager.cpp. Same thing in Movie.cpp
Change one instance of MAX_BBMOTES to MAX_WIIMOTES in Movie.cpp, since movies do not support balance board.
