== DETAILS
@r-type got me the link to the fixed-fixed version.
Which was actually closer to where I was originally!
So:
- Revert the previous commit
- Apply the actual changes needed to fix the problem
- Bring in and fix the logging code from the previous implementation
== TESTING
- Verified that top-left is -0x7fff,-0x7fff and that bottom-right is
0x7fff, 0x7fff.
== REVIEW
@QuarkTheAwesome @r-type @twinaphex
== DETAILS
Apparently when I refactored this code, I missed out on the fix for
touchpad coordinates that @QuarkTheAwesome had committed.
Oops.
- Fix the touchpad coordinates
- Remove unneeded references to video driver in wpad_driver.c
- Remove unneeded video driver include in pad_driver.h
- Add logging in wpad_driver to verify the fix (#ifdef'd out by default)
== TESTING
Verified fix manually.
== DETAILS
If a call to HIDRead() ends up blocking indefinitely, it will
cause the shutdown process to wait forever.
To avoid a deadlock, I've put in a retry counter so that it will
give up after 5s and print a warning to the log.
== DETAILS
RetroArch's general HID drivers are intended as a full-on substitute for
other input drivers such as XInput, DInput, SDL, etc. The Wii U port is,
to my knowledge, the first case of heterogenous input drivers working
concurrently.
As such, I've moved things around:
- The HID driver source is moved into the wiiu/input/ directory alongside
the joypad subdrivers.
- We no longer use the input_hid_init_first() method to instantiate; instead
we just init the wiiu HID driver directly.
- The HID pad driver and HID subsystem driver enjoy a tighter coupling,
mainly having to do with the initialization of the joypad connections
list, because there's no way to inform the HID driver's init() method
how many slots to allocate.
== TESTING
Will test in a moment, but at least it compiles cleanly. ;)
== DETAILS
The gamepad didn't work because I had tried to rename the pad from
'WIIU Gamepad' to 'WiiU Gamepad'.
I added some debug logging and (to cut out a lot of trial-and-error)
discovered that the reason it didn't work was because a bug in a macro
was using the define literally instead of substituting it (so e.g.
the autodetect handler was trying to match 'WiiU Gamepad' against the
literal string 'PAD_NAME_WIIU_GAMEPAD').
- Fixed the macro bug
- Left a minimal amount of the debug logging in place; may come in
handy for someone else.
- Updated wpad/kpad/hidpad to use the define constants
== TESTING
Did a test build and confirmed the gamepad responded.
== DETAILS
- the free() method of the hid_driver_t interface needs its
parameter defined as const in order for the compiler to stop
complaining about losing const-ness.
- if a joypad list is created with <MAX_USERS slots in it, the
destroy() function will crash because it assumes there are MAX_USERS
entries.
To do this, the allocate function creates n+1 slots, and gives the
last slot a canary value that the destroy() method can then watch for
when iterating through the list.
== DETAILS
Well, after a lot of code analysis, this seems like the
best way to handle things on the Wii U without also completely
re-architecting the I/O handling in RetroArch.
How it works:
- the top-level wiiu_joypad driver is now nothing more than a
delegator.
- the wiiu-specific drivers live in `wiiu/input/`
- wpad_driver.c handles the WiiU gamepad
- kpad_driver.c handles the wiimotes
- hidpad_driver.c will handle HID devices like the GC adapter, DS3/DS4, etc.
(I say "will" because this isn't implemented yet)
== TESTING
Haven't actually tried the build to see if it works, but it does
compile.
== DETAILS
Starting to implement the I/O handling on the HID driver.
The old implementation basically had a never-ending HIDRead() callback
set up, so that callback N would start the read process for invocation
N+1.
We will take the same approach here; but now that the I/O thread is
happenning on its own core, we should be able to let it run full-
throttle without impacting emulator performance.
Of course, this hinges on the callback actually running on the same
core as the syscall was initiated on.
== TESTING
Can confirm that the read_loop_callback gets invoked on the same core
that the HIDRead() was invoked on.
== DETAILS
This implements the WiiU-specific functions.
Since the wiiu_hid_t data structure contains the handle and interface
index, the method signatures can be simplified quite a bit. And since
(at least for now) we want these to be synchronous, we don't need to
expose the callback parameters.
== DETAILS
The handshake stuff is derived from the old HID2VPAD, just in knowing
what data goes in what report.
- Added the HID_REPORT_ flags to syshid.h
- Renamed the generic "REPORT_TYPE" flags to be meaningful
- also fixed incorrect parameter list for set_protocol
== TESTING
The functions aren't implemented in wiiu_hid.c just yet,
so this is gonna crash if you try to run it.
== DETAILS
The old code was crashing; I did a minimalized branch and the crash
went away, so I'm bringing that over here. Meaning I'll have to
redo some of the other work I'd put in, but oh well.
(now watch it start crashing again)
== TESTING
Can confirm it builds. Wii U is busy ATM so I can't test.
== DETAILS
We discovered that the controller_patcher code was causing
the WiiU to intermittently crash when switching ROMs.
Changes:
- Completely extricates the controller_patcher code
- Create a skeleton wiiu_hid driver
- Wire up the build system to build/link it successfully
== TESTING
Has not been tested. Probably doesn't crash, since the
skeleton driver is just a copy of the null driver.
Thanks for @gblues for finding the strcmp bug.
I've removed the opcode display since it's a bit unsafe - if the
exception handler causes a DSI; Cafe OS will take over and freeze up the
console. This is obviously not a good thing. There are possible
situations where memory is executable and not readable; so this is just
about covering all bases until a better solution can be implemented.
Maybe we can experiment a bit more once this handler isn't being used so
often ;)
Coreinit seems to get special handles, so adding a special case should
make its relative addresses actually become helpful again. Let's just
hope __PPCExit stays at 0x180!
Also added the violating opcode to the DSI message; may have to move it
in case it pushes stuff off the end of the screen.
Untested at time of commit. Hopefully this should make debugging #5357 a
bit easier...
This hopefully fixes the issues when you try to use 2 Controllers with
the same vid/pid at the same time.
Tested with 2 DS4 controller via the Hid to VPAD Network Client.
Adapters with multiple ports (like the official GC-Adapter) are still
working
Allow using the Gamepad's touch screen as a RETRO_DEVICE_POINTER.
Methodology could use some work, had to add an extra axis to
joypad in order to get the data transferred into the input driver.
Feel free to change this.
Needs to emulate RETRO_DEVICE_LIGHTGUN to really be useful.
Potential for Wiimote IR in future.
Partially addresses libretro/RetroArch#5294
