Added some new visibility toggles so players can choose what to show (or hide) during their RetroAchievements runs:
Toggle for the Speedrun Leaderboards timer
Toggle for Achievement Challenge badges
Dual Core is primarily known as one of the first troubleshooting steps when emulation or NetPlay misbehave.
I believe(?) the original intent with having it on by default was likely to support users with weaker machines. However, I believe it would be a lot more reasonable for users to manually enable dual core if they really need the performance boost, rather than it is for them to have come ask us in support channel why their cleanly-installed Dolphin is not emulating their games properly.
Instead, this creates a fragile first impression where a clean install of Dolphin is already set up in a way that leads to inexplicable crashes, subtle timing bugs, and NetPlay desyncs.
Note: This changes only applies to the Desktop application, since mobile devices *do* really need the performance boost.
This feature allows overriding the frequency of the Vertical Blank Interrupt. For many games, this means that their gameplay speed will change without affecting audio, which would be useful by itself (e.g. grinding in RPGs).
However, there are games that use delta time for their game logic, which allows them to be played at >60 FPS at the same gameplay speed!
Some games aren't dynamic though, and require a patch to adjust their game speed variable.
Based on @noahpistilli (Sketch) PR:

Fixed the Windows support and the heisenbug caused by uninitialized
members.
Config system integration finalized.
This lets you use PS3 Rock Band controllers with Wii Rock Band and
Guitar Hero games.
A normal user will probably never have any reason to disable this
behavior, but I figured maybe there's some person out there who would
like to disable it. (For instance, I know there's a mod for RB3 that's
trying to implement the same kind of cross-console controller
compatibility, and that can only be tested if the behavior I'm adding is
disabled.) So the behavior is controlled by an INI-only setting.
Found via `codespell -q 3 -S "./Externals,./Data/Sys/wiitdb-??.txt,*.po,*.pot" -L andf,asnd,bootup,bufferin,clen,collet,datas,delt,fpr,inout,inport,interm,pixelx,re-use,re-used,sav,stateman,strat,wil`
Clamp overlays to the render window (with some padding), reset their
positions when the render window changes sizes, and add a setting to
enable moving the overlays (off by default, .ini only for now).
This adds the option to configure real Wiimotes by specifying their Bluetooth addresses in
the configuration file. This allows off-brand Wiimotes to work without using the
Bluetooth Passthrough option, if you know their Bluetooth addresses beforehand.
Despite correctly setting the LAP to `0x9e8b00` in `WiimoteScannerLinux::FindWiimotes`
while scanning, which is indeed enough to make off-brand / knock-off Wiimotes respond to a
Bluetooth Inquiry, some (several? all?) bluetooth adapters seem to override and ignore
this given LAP value when performing the Inquiry, and actually use the `0x9e8b33` value as
if a null pointer have been given to `hci_inquiry`, as inspection of USB/Bluetooth packets
by Wireshark indicate. Off-brand Wiimotes don't respond to inquiries with this LAP.
If one happens to know the Bluetooth address of their Wiimote (for example, by checking
`BluetoothPassthrough.LinkKeys` after using Bluetooth Passthrough, or other means such as
directly using `libusb` to force the adapter to use the correct LAP in the Inquiry), then
it's enough to add those addresses to the vector of found Wiimotes.
Since this a niche use case and I only happen to know and have tested in Linux, this
change only affects the `WiimoteScannerLinux` backend. It's likely that it could be added
to other backends, but I'm unfamiliar with these.
If no addresses are given or this config section does not exist, behavior is completely
unchanged.
In NandPaths.cpp, the `std::initializer_list<char>` of illegal characters has been turned into a `char[]` (similar to the one in GameList.cpp).
The reverse iteration in ResourcePack.cpp seemed to provide no benefits, and doing without it it seemed to have no ill effects.
Now that patches and codes are enabled on a case by case basis, remove patcher code blocking codes entirely in hardcore mode, and reword the warning to be more accurate.
Makes Graphics -> Hacks -> Skip EFB Access from CPU enabled by default. Some GPU drivers stall when EFB access occurs in games where EFB is not used. Most games that require this setting set to 'true' already have this defined in their game inis.
This lets us reduce the number of USE_RETRO_ACHIEVEMENTS ifdefs in the
code base, reducing visual clutter. In particular, needing an ifdef for
each call to IsHardcodeModeActive was annoying to me. This also reduces
the risk that someone writes code that accidentally fails to compile
with USE_RETRO_ACHIEVEMENTS disabled.
We could cut down on ifdefs even further by making HardcodeWarningWidget
always exist, but that would result in non-trivial code ending up in the
binary even with USE_RETRO_ACHIEVEMENTS disabled, so I'm leaving it out
of this PR. It's not a lot of code though, so I might end up revisiting
it at some point.
Was informed by the RetroAchievements team that this isn't an option in most emulators, and as the next commits will be to enable default icons, there will always be something to display.
