Advantages:
* Simpler code in general
* No extra volume objects created
* Now actually notices if the disc or partition gets
changed while the core is running
* No longer picks up on disc access done by the GUI
(it used to do so as long as the core was running)
* Gets rid of a Core dependency in DiscIO
There are two performance disadvantages:
* FileMonitor is now a bit slower when used with VolumeDirectory
because FileMonitor now always uses the FileSystemGCWii code
for finding filenames instead of VolumeDirectory finding the
filename on its own and directly hooking into FileMonitor.
But this isn't such a big deal, because it's happening on the
DVD thread, and my currently unmerged file system PR will make
FileSystemGCWii's file finding code about as fast as
VolumeDirectory's.
* FileMonitor's creation of the file system object is now
done on the CPU thread instead of the DVD thread, and
it will be done even if FileMonitor logging is disabled.
This will be fixed in the next commit.
This implements MIOS's PPC bootstrapping functionality, which enables
users to start a GameCube game from the Wii System Menu.
Because we aren't doing Starlet LLE (and don't have a boot1), we can
just jump to MIOS when the emulated software does an ES_LAUNCH or uses
ioctlv 0x25 to launch BC.
Note that the process is more complex on a real Wii and goes through
several more steps before getting to MIOS:
* The System Menu detects a GameCube disc and launches BC (1-100)
instead of the game. [Dolphin does this too.]
* BC, which is reportedly very similar to boot1, lowers the Hollywood
clock speed to the Flipper's and then launches boot2.
* boot2 sees the lowered clock speed and launches MIOS (1-101) instead
of the System Menu.
MIOS runs instead of IOS in GC mode and has an embedded GC IPL (which
is the code actually responsible for loading the disc game) and a PPC
bootstrap code. To get things working properly, we simply need to load
both to memory, then jump to the bootstrap code at 0x3400.
Obviously, because of the way this works, a real MIOS is required.
Splits DVD reads up into smaller chunks so that data is available
before the final interrupt is triggered. This better simulates the DMA
that happens on a real device, which some games will take advantage of -
by either playing back data as it is loading or by using data that is
going to be overwritten shortly by an outstanding read.
IPC_HLE is actually IOS HLE. The actual IPC emulation is not in
IPC_HLE, but in HW/WII_IPC.cpp. So calling IPC_HLE IOS is more
accurate. (If IOS LLE gets ever implemented, it'll likely be at
a lower level -- Starlet LLE.)
This also totally gets rid of the IPC_HLE prefix in file names, and
moves some source files to their own subdirectories to make the file
hierarchy cleaner.
We're going to get ~14 additional source files with the USB PR,
and this is really needed to keep things from becoming a total pain.
DVDInterface shouldn't need to know anything about
the DTM format's 40-character limitation.
Also replacing "filename" in variable names with "path"
to make it clearer which variables contain the whole path
and which ones only contain the filename.
Let's stop pretending that we support Triforce emulation.
Keeping this code around just in case someone will make
major improvements in the future isn't really worth it.
I'm keeping the Triforce game INIs so users will know that
the compatibility rating for Triforce games is 1 star (broken).
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.
At first there weren't many enums in Volume.h, but the number has been
growing, and I'm planning to add one more for regions. To not make
Volume.h too large, and to avoid needing to include Volume.h in code
that doesn't use volume objects, I'm moving the enums to a new file.
I'm also turning them into enum classes while I'm at it.
When Movie was calling ChangeDisc, it was moving execution to
the host thread just to then make the host thread the CPU thread.
We can simply run the code directly on the CPU thread instead.
EndPlayInput runs on the CPU thread so it can't directly call
UpdateWantDeterminism. PlayController also tries to ChangeDisc
from the CPU Thread which is also invalid. It now just pauses
execution and posts a request to the Host to fix it instead.
The Core itself also did dodgy things like PauseAndLock-ing
from the CPU Thread and SetState from EmuThread which have been
removed.
Rather than rely on the developer to do the right thing,
just make the default behavior safely deallocate resources.
If shared semantics are ever needed in the future, the
constructor that takes a unique_ptr for shared_ptr can
be used.
It was previously an important part of DVDInterface,
but since its usage there was replaced with DVDThread,
the only remaining uses of it are in Boot and Boot_BS2Emu.
