Some locales use non-breaking spaces as separators, so getting the
encoding right is important. If DolphinWX gets a string that isn't
valid UTF-8, it flat out won't display the string.
This saves us from having to call GetPath when the same file is being
read over and over. (GetPath is more expensive than GetOffset due to
it iterating through parts of the file system and creating strings.)
The original reason I wanted to do this was so that we can replace
the Android-specific code with this in the future, but of course,
just deduplicating between DolphinWX and DolphinQt2 is nice too.
Fixes:
- DolphinQt2 showing the wrong size for split WBFS disc images.
- DolphinQt2 being case sensitive when checking if a file is a DOL/ELF.
- DolphinQt2 not detecting when a Wii banner has become available
after the game list cache was created.
Removes:
- DolphinWX's ability to load PNGs as custom banners. But it was
already rather broken (see https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10365
and https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/10366). The reason I removed
this was because PNG decoding relied on wx code and we don't have any
good non-wx/Qt code for loading PNG files right now (let's not use
SOIL), but we should be able to use libpng directly to implement PNG
loading in the future.
- DolphinQt2's ability to ignore a cached game if the last modified
time differs. We currently don't have a non-wx/Qt way to get the time.
This saves us from having to hardcode strings, and it also gives
us strings in whatever format is appropriate on the current OS
(for instance, IIRC Windows uses Alt+F where other OSes use Alt-F).
Work around a dcache issue by preventing the game from doing
something pointless.
The game's DVD read function writes 0x87654321 to the entire read
buffer and 0x12345678 to the last 4 bytes. It then calls DVDReadAsync()
and without waiting for the read to complete at all, it checks if the
last 4 bytes are still 0x12345678. If they are, then the game fails.
The check always passes on console because DVDReadAsync() calls
issueCommand(), which calls DCInvalidateRange(read_buffer) (dcbi).
Dolphin cannot emulate this without an extremely significant
performance hit.
This commit changes devices to always return IPCCommandResult rather
than just a return code for Open() and Close() in order to be able
to better emulate reply timing.
In hindsight, I should have considered we would want to emulate
timing when I cleaned up the device interface, but alas.
This rectifies that mistake.
