Core::GetState reads from four different pieces of state: s_is_stopping,
s_hardware_initialized, s_is_booting, and CPUManager::IsStepping.
I'm keeping that last one as is for now because there's code in Dolphin
that sets it directly, but we can unify the other three to make things
easier to reason about.
This commit also gets rid of s_is_started. This was previously used in
Core::IsRunningAndStarted to ensure true wouldn't be returned until the
CPU thread was started, but it wasn't used in Core::GetState, so
Core::GetState would happily return State::Running after we had
initialized the hardware but before we had initialized the CPU thread.
As far as I know, there are no callers that have any real need to know
whether the boot process is currently initializing the hardware or the
CPU thread. Perhaps once upon a time there was a desire to make the
apploader debuggable, but a long time has passed without anyone stepping
up to implement it, and the way CBoot::RunApploader is implemented makes
it rather difficult. So this commit makes all the functions in Core.cpp
consider the core to still be starting until the CPU thread is started.
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.
Bugfix for hardcore-disabled items being disabled when hardcore was true but achievement integration was false, which should mean hardcore is effectively disabled. Now everything checks the IsHardcoreModeActive method in AchievementManager which processes the setting AND the game state to determine if hardcore mode is actually active.
Play Input Recording would potentially unlock achievements without any player input and needs to be disabled. If a recording is already playing, hardcore mode cannot be enabled.
Use RunOnCPUThread instead of RunAsCPUThread in BeginRecordingInput.
Most OpenGL functions require an OpenGL context to have been created on
that thread before calling the function; when that isn't the case they
return invalid results which can cause crashes when passed into other
functions.
Dolphin creates the OpenGL context in the EmuThread which then becomes
either the CPU-GPU thread or the Video thread for single and dual core
respectively. OpenGL functions must therefore be called from that
thread.
Movie::BeginRecordingInput is called from the Host thread and runs a
block of code which ultimately creates a savestate, which in turn embeds
the framebuffer which requires calling various OpenGL functions.
In single core the use of RunAsCPUThread leads to this all happening on
the Host thread, eventually leading to invalid OpenGL calls and a crash.
In Dual core the crash is avoided because VideoBackendBase::DoState uses
the AsyncRequests::DO_SAVE_STATE event which causes VideoCommon_DoState
and its subsequent OpenGL calls to safely run on the Video thread.
This commit uses RunOnCPUThread instead of RunAsCPUThread, which causes
the subsequent code to run on the CPU-GPU thread in single core which
has the valid OpenGL context and so doesn't crash.
This lets the TAS input code use a higher-level interface for
overriding inputs instead of having to fiddle with raw bits.
WiiTASInputWindow in particular was messy with how much
controller code it had to re-implement.
The movie config layer is not active for recording, only playback. Thus, recording ends up stuck with default SYSCONF settings.
The fix is simply to add in the movie config layer when recording. The way it's done is a bit hacky, but seems to work.
Previously, when Pause at End of Movie was disabled, the game would continue running as it should, but the menu bar would think the game was paused, showing the play button instead of the pause button. To make things worse, clicking the play button would then restart the game, instead of pausing or doing nothing. F10 paused/unpaused as normal, though.
The old behavior was essentially to enable stepping/pause mode (via `CPU::Break()`) and then if Pause at End of Movie was disabled, to un-pause on the host thread (via `CPU::EnableStepping(false)`). For reasons which aren't entirely clear to me, the first one notified the menu bar (through the `Host::UpdateDisasmDialog` callback, not the `Settings::EmulationStateChanged` one), and the second did not. In any case, this approach does not particularly make sense; I don't see any reason to pause and unpause if Pause at End of Movie is disabled; instead, we should only pause when Pause at End of Movie is enabled.
This behavior was probably introduced in c1944f623b, though I haven't tested it.
Fixes a crash that could occur if the static constructor function for
the MainSettings.cpp TU happened to run before the variables in
Common/Version.cpp are initialised. (This is known as the static
initialisation order fiasco.)
By using wrapper functions, those variables are now guaranteed to be
constructed on first use.
