This can fix a lot of performance issues, like audio crackling and frame
time spikes. This requires the GameMode package to be installed. See:
https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode
This commit adds a "Game Mode" bool option to the "Power
Management" and "Latency" settings sections, and it can be toggled
on/off without restarting RA.
The actual toggling of game mode happens in a new frontend platform
interface function. Perhaps this will become useful for other platforms
that provide some equivalent of Linux GameMode.
Since the GameMode ABI is fixed, and the API comes as a single,
header-only file with no actual deps, we simply bundle the header
(deps/feralgamemode/gamemode_client.h.) That way, all Linux builds will
have support for GameMode regardless of whether the GameMode development
package is installed or not.
* (3DS) Add bottom screen menu
-> User can save/load state on botom screen with thumbnail.
-> Call a save_state_to_file() when RAM state has data to write a disk.
-> If the bottom screen needs updating, swap the bottom framebuffers.
Add: SAVE/LODE STATE TO RAM
-> This is useful for devices with slow I/O
-> 3DS bottom save state use CMD_EVENT_SAVE_STATE_TO_RAM
-> 3DS bottom load state use CMD_EVENT_LOAD_STATE when RAM state has no data
-> 3DS bottom load state use CMD_EVENT_LOAD_STATE_FROM_RAM when RAM sate has data
* Rewrite path_get_state to retroarch_get_current_savestate_path
* Fix unterminated state_path
when calling the frontend environment get callback - we want to
look at the 'default' directories, and then if they don't yet exist,
auto-create them so we can store files in them.
Set USE_CTRULIB_2=1 to build with libctru 2.0. When unset, this code
is compatible with the older toolchain.
Some 2.0 changes addressed rare problems in earlier versions:
- Save / restore stack pointer for init / exit
Otherwise, it could be outside of the range we deallocate.
- Run aptMainLoop in the audio driver to react correctly to sleep events
Other changes for 2.0:
- Remove ninjhax1 -- requires outdated APIs that have been removed
- Switch from __sync_arbiter to syncArbitrateAddress
- Use implicit gxCmdBuf
- Use gpuPresentBuffer for double buffering
- Add optional timestamped log files
- Handle errors if log file cannot be opened
- Android: flush log file immediately
- 3DS: log to file tested and fully working
- Default log paths added for all platforms
Also fix white spaces in led drivers, make led drivers use standard driver format.
Begin work on translation driver.
Add salamander files to gitignore.
