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.
Probably a copy-paste error from layout-ldrtl/list_item_setting.xml.
This error made it so a long setting name could overlap with the
checkbox next to it if Dolphin was running with right-to-left layout.
The incorrect ID was apparently also causing the app:lintVitalRelease
build task to fail. I guess we're not running that build task, because I
only heard of this from someone building Dolphin locally.
Recently we have been getting some requests to make the existing vsync
setting available in the Android GUI:
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/13650https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-vsync-toggle-for-android
I don't quite understand why enabling the vsync setting is helpful when
Android already enforces vsync, but I guess having the option available
doesn't hurt. I'm putting the setting under Advanced, unlike in
DolphinQt, since there's no clear reason why the typical user would want
to use this setting.
This PR simply exposes the tapserver options in Serial Port 1 on Android. They already exist and work, but are not selectable. I've tested the tapserver options myself with Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II and they work fine.
This implements the GameCube modem adapter. This implementation is stable but not perfect; it drops frames if the receive FIFO length is exceeded. This is probably due to the unimplemented interrupt mentioned in the comments. If the tapserver end of the connection is aware of this limitation, it's easily circumvented by lowering the MTU of the link, but ideally this wouldn't be necessary.
This has been tested with a couple of different versions of Phantasy Star Online, including Episodes 1 & 2 Trial Edition. The Trial Edition is the only version of the game that supports the Modem Adapter and not the Broadband Adapter, which is what made this commit necessary in the first place.
This expands the tapserver BBA interface to be available on all platforms. tapserver itself is still macOS-only, but newserv (the PSO server) is not, and it can directly accept local and remote tapserver connections as well. This makes the tapserver interface potentially useful on all platforms.
Google Play's policies require us to tell the user the size of any large
download.
The size seems to vary by just a megabyte or two across regions in my
testing, so I'm listing a rough size for all the regions.
I'm also taking the opportunity to shorten the message to make it easier
to read.
