Some games open two USB interfaces, e.g. /dev/usb/oh0 and /dev/usb/hid.
This was causing us to run two scanning threads at once, using up more
CPU time for scanning than we need to.
Creates TimePlayed class and implemented constructors, AddTime, GetTimePlayed, and Reload methods. Updates CMakeLists.txt and DolphinLib.props as appropriate.
The new `Common::Contains` and `Common::ContainsSubrange` function objects mirror C++23's `std::ranges::contains` and `std::ranges::contains_subrange`, respectively.
We had one implementation of this type of data structure in Arm64Emitter
and one in VideoCommon. This moves the Arm64Emitter implementation to
its own file and adds begin and end functions to it, so that VideoCommon
can use it.
You may notice that the license header for the new file is CC0. I wrote
the Arm64Emitter implementation of SmallVector, so this should be no
problem.
In theory, our config system supports calling Set from any thread. But
because we have config callbacks that call RunAsCPUThread, it's a lot
more restricted in practice. Calling Set from any thread other than the
host thread or the CPU thread is formally thread unsafe, and calling Set
on the host thread while the CPU thread is showing a panic alert causes
a deadlock. This is especially a problem because 04072f0 made the
"Ignore for this session" button in panic alerts call Set.
Because so many of our config callbacks want their code to run on the
CPU thread, I thought it would make sense to have a centralized way to
move execution to the CPU thread for config callbacks. To solve the
deadlock problem, this new way is non-blocking. This means that threads
other than the CPU thread might continue executing before the CPU thread
is informed of the new config, but I don't think there's any problem
with that.
Intends to fix https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13108.
The base DebugInterface now depends on the Core's CPUThreadGuard, and
utilities in Common shouldn't be depending on Core facilities. So, we
can move this into the core library instead.
Mesa (llvmpipe) only reports 4x MSAA, and doesn't report 2x (or 1x, but we implicitly add that). The old logic did not handle this correctly, causing selecting 4x to fail and fall back to None.
This also removes VideoUtils::GetAvailableAntialiasingModes, and thus VideoUtils entirely, as its only other function was removed in 1f74653501.
This isn't used anywhere and not really a generic utility, so we can get
rid of it.
This also lets us remove MathUtil.cpp, since this was the only thing
within that file.
Added AchievementManager class. Upon startup (currently only in DolphinQt), logs into RetroAchievements with the login credentials stored in achievements.ini.

Added AchievementSettings in Config with RA_INTEGRATION_ENABLED, RA_USERNAME, and RA_API_TOKEN. Includes code to load and store from Achievements.ini file in config folder.
A lot of the remaining complexity in Renderer is the massive Swap function
which tries to handle a bunch of FrameBegin/FrameEnd events.
Rather than create a new place for it. This event system will try
to distribute it all over the place
Almost all the virtual functions in Renderer are part of dolphin's
"graphics api abstraction layer", which has slowly formed over the
last decade or two.
Most of the work was done previously with the introduction of the
various "AbstractX" classes, associated with texture cache cleanups
and implementation of newer graphics APIs (Direct3D 12, Vulkan, Metal).
We are simply taking the last step and yeeting these functions out
of Renderer.
This "AbstractGfx" class is now completely agnostic of any details
from the flipper/hollywood GPU we are emulating, though somewhat
specialized.

This should be a fairly easy merge, assuming I didn’t mess anything up. TL:DR no one uses it and it’s not great.
Boot from DVD Backup is an ancient feature with origins in the Megacommit. Back then, GameCube and Wii games were quite large relative to drives of the time. For example, in 2008, the most common hard drive sizes were 320GB and 512GB. On the 320GB drive I personally had at the time, as little as 42 Wii ISOs could have filled it entirely! And that’s ignoring any other files one might want to put onto a drive. Backup DVDs allowed users to burn relatively cheap DVD media and store their GameCube and Wii dumps in a Dolphin accessible way that didn’t eat into their precious HDD space. It had compromises, even then, but in 2008… I mean honestly users probably wouldn’t even notice those compromises with how Dolphin barely even worked at all back then.
Obviously, today the storage space concerns are not as big of an issue. According to seagate the average hard drive it sells today is 8TB. For typical laptops purchased now, the -minimum- selection for storage is usually 1TB. You can even buy a name brand 4TB external hard drive for $100. GC and Wii ISOs are not as big as they once were, relatively anyway. Plus flash drives and SD cards are super cheap and way faster than disc drives ever were. For anyone that has limited drive space, removable flash media can fulfill this offloading role far better than backup DVD media ever could.
Also no one has DVD drives anymore. That’s kind of an important detail.
But to see if Booting from DVD Backup even still worked, I decided to give it a try. I have an ASUS BW-16D1HT, a badass Bluray XL reading and burning drive, connected to my Windows 11 Threadripper 5975WX machine. A super fast drive on a super fast machine is as good as it possibly can get for this feature. So I bought a spindle of DVD-Rs, burned a couple of discs and gave it a try. Surprisingly, it does still work. However, as expected, it introduces a lot of stuttering. Testing Prime 1 and Prime 3, in both games stuttering was introduced whenever the DVD Drive had to suddenly seek. Spikes of 50ms occurred constantly, but I observed 150ms and even over 1000ms stutters! The worst was a three second stutter, when loading Elysia in Prime 3. I could even hear the stutters - any time the drive suddenly made a harsh seeking noise, the game would have a hard stutter. It worked but, it has some serious compromises.
Boot from DVD Backup isn’t great, using removable flash media or external hard drives is a FAR better option for anyone with limited storage space today, and no one can even use this feature anymore because their computers don’t even have disc drives. It’s time for Boot from DVD Backup to go!
So I did my best on the cleanup but I’m bound to have left some bits. Especially in translation - I didn’t get any warnings or anything there that could help point me to where to clean that up. Please review!
Before, it was also compiled on ARM builds, but since it was unused it wasn't linked (and thus its dependency on the nonexistent x64Emitter didn't cause any link issues).
