- replays now start each frame with the number of key events (8 bit
unsigned int, then key events) and the number of input events (16 bit
unsigned int, then the input events)
- this makes it possible to parse replay files without any core
loaded, and makes replays more portable if cores change their polling
strategies
- external tools can now parse replay files
- old (vsn 0) replays will still play back, but new (vsn 1) replays
will not play on old RA
- replay files grow faster now, with each input poll now taking 8
bytes instead of 2
This changes the replay movie's frame_ptr (a 20-bit number used to
point to a log of file offsets) into a frame counter, which is masked
against the 20-bit pattern for use in the file offset log but also
functions as a time index into the replay. Right now that is reported
in `GET_CONFIG_PARAM active_replay` but in the future it could be used
to show how far into the replay we are during playback or how long the
replay is during recording.
* Massive reduction in heap space allocation, going from settings struct
264kb to 119Kb
* Use NAME_MAX_LENGTH for base paths/names, etc
* Use DIR_MAX_LENGTH for directory sizes
In some cases, set_sensor_state and get_sensor_input are
more related to the joypad driver, e.g. in desktop platforms
where sensors are associated rather with the joypad.
If input driver supports the sensors, it is still preferred.
Placeholder inserted for all input drivers, no functionality
added yet.
A new input driver (test_input), similar to test joypad driver.
Takes its inputs from a json file provided in options. Supports
keyboard input and sensor input (accelerometer, gyroscope,
illuminance).
Remote Retropad extended with a sensor test screen.
* Test driver for joypad inputs
Add a new joypad input driver:
- hide driver behind #ifdef and enable it in config_params.sh
- add a new config parameter to specify the test input file
- add aux files: additional config files that cancel out any binds
that may be present in RA config, autoconfig profile for
test joypads, test input file that matches controller test
sequence
* Fixes and comments for test input driver.
* Enqueue replay record/playback until next frame
This fixes a bug where stdin commands activated via polling would
trigger replay record/playback in the middle of a frame, then input
checking would pull from them before the next frame came around---it
only makes sense to change the active replay in between frames, not
during them.
* fix comment syntax
Adds overlay_cache_ptr to keep a disabled overlay in memory when it's expected to be shown again.
Most input_overlay_deinit calls are replaced with input_overlay_unload, which caches the overlay unless initing/deiniting core or disabling overlays.
Loading a cached overlay is done as a swap, intended for osk_toggle.
Related updates:
- Fewer parameters for the overlay loading task. Use current settings when enabling an overlay
- Add input_overlay_check_mouse_cursor() to preserve show/hide mouse behavior
- Don't apply input_overlay_show_mouse_cursor in windowed mode (controlled by mouse grab only)
- Remove some dead code
If cores are not deterministic, or if they only have bounded
determinism, we can obtain less drift if replay files also contain
periodic checkpoint states. These are configured by the new retroarch
stting replay_checkpoint_interval (measured in seconds). States are
inserted into the replay file in between frames.
This patch also fixes the settings display for the replay
autoincrement max keep setting.

* Add bsv replay controls (not yet fully implemented), remove toggle
see notes in task_movie.c, make sure command.c calls the right
functions, check retroarch.c and other todos.
bsv files are also now stored with states, not saves.
* Compilation fixes
* Added command impls for play and record replay, and some code in load state to do the right thing there
* Guard some parts of the new code with HAVE_BSV_MOVIE
* wip, menu fixes
* more menu fixes, osd for movie errors, halt recording properly
* Menu and label fixes
* move bsvs to own file suffix series under savestates, fix recording and playback command validity checks
* Fix replay autoincrement
* fix endif placement, whoops

* add keyboard recording support to bsv
BSV movies recorded in older RA *WILL NOT* replay properly after this
patch. While looking to see if the core actually uses a keyboard
device could mitigate this, it is an unavoidable consequence of using
BSV, a format which carries no metadata whatsoever.
* Fix for loop declarations and some whitespace

* BSV ergonomics improvements
- Date stamp toggled recordings instead of overwriting or using save
slot number
- Properly stop movie on playback EOF; also pause emulation
- Add recording flag to match playback flag in bsv state enum
- Rename bsv "movie path" to "movie auto path" to clarify role
- Allow stopping movie playback before EOF using record toggle hotkey

* Add bsv to emscripten builds
BSV has no external dependencies so this addition should be fine.
Co-authored-by: Joseph C. Osborn <jcoa2018@pomona.edu>
* Allow for both -e and -R to start a BSV file recording at a state
The key issue is that loading a state takes some time, and the BSV
recording shouldn't start until that's done.
The minimal patch for this would just be a change to runloop.c which
moves movie initialization after entry state loading, throwing in a
task_queue_wait(). This makes for some awkward repeated autoload OSD
messages and doesn't solve the underlying issue.
Most of this change puts BSV recording start/stop into tasks, like
saving and loading are tasks; this was important to centralize BSV
operations a bit more and is the first part of a refactoring towards
more robust input recording. The necessary wait is introduced in the
begin-recording callback.

- New descriptors: 'dpad_area' and 'abxy_area'
- Each has a diagonal sensitivity setting, 100% being 8-way symmetry
- Buttons can be redefined in the cfg file
E.g. This would create a d-pad area, then redefine it to use analog directions:
overlay0_desc0 = "dpad_area,0.85,0.57,rect,0.166228,0.295516"
overlay0_desc0_up = "r_y_minus"
overlay0_desc0_down = "r_y_plus"
overlay0_desc0_left = "r_x_minus"
overlay0_desc0_right = "r_x_plus"
Repurpose vibrate_on_keypress to enable device's standard keypress feedback on overlay key/button state changes
- Add keypress_vibrate function ptr to input_driver_t (only implemented on Android for now)
- (Android) Remove APP_CMD_VIBRATE_KEYPRESS
- (Android) Add doHapticFeedback, called directly to avoid latency
* * Use flags for rarch_state
* Get rid of ^M linebreaks in retroarch_types.h
* Buildfixes for consoles
* (audio driver) use flags instead of bools
* (video) Use flags instead of bools
* Rewrite input driver state bools into flags
