This commit:
* Reorders the Netplay settings menu to put more useful options at the
top.
* Renames the swap_input setting from "Swap Netplay Input", which is
meaningless and confusing, to "Netplay P2 Uses C1", which is oddly
truncated but at least true.
* Removes the is_client setting altogether, as that's no longer how
client vs. server mode is determined (each are separate options when
enabling Netplay)
Moved settings values into settings->netplay, and global->netplay.enable
is moved into netplay itself, and is no longer a configuration value
whatsoever, as that conflicts with the behavior of the netplay menu.
A couple fixes are still necessary for the client, in particular to
recover a "lost" hostname, but now it is possible to start server or
client mid-stream, and to disconnect intentionally.
Spectate mode is now far more similar to net (normal) mode, and, more
importantly, it works. In addition, spectate mode will not fast-forward
to catch up with the server if it lags too far behind.
Every frame (soon to be configurable), the server does a CRC-32 hash and
sends it to the client. If the client finds that its own hash is
different from the server's, it requests a fresh savestate.
This is a last-ditch effort to sync if all else fails, and it's a
best-effort situation. The size of the buffer should assure that we
always still have the frame around to CRC, but I imagine there are edge
cases where we don't. If you're in an edge case, the CRC is ignored.
Assuming the core supports saving/loading states, and (crucially)
assuming the states are portable across the architectures on both sides
of the connection, Netplay now supports the transmission of savestates.
Right now the frontend doesn't actually send any such requests, as it's
not clear exactly where the code for that should be.
This works in either direction, although I'll admit I have no idea what
happens if they both load at the same time.
Support for remote pausing, and with it, support for Netplay pausing the
frontend correctly. With this patch alone this doesn't work, since
there's no clean way for the frontend to tell Netplay that it's paused.
for this, and in particular, it now sometimes stalls in a way that makes
it very difficult to actually input anything (whoops :) ). Simply
setting the sync frames higher avoids that. With supported cores, this
is incredibly risilient, but when it fails, it mostly fails to freezing,
which is less than ideal.
TODO: Stall frames should be configurable. All the UDP code is still
there but commented out, should be gutted. The original fast-forward
code is now commented out, but really both fast-forward and stalling
should be options; the only complication is that it needs to send
simulated self-input for fast-forward.
