To keep the TAS inputs synced to the game speed even through lag spikes and loading zones, deeper access is required.
First, the `TAS::UpdateThread` has to be executed exactly once per frame. This is done by connecting it to the service method the game calls to pass parameters to the GPU: `Service::VI::QueueBuffer`.
Second, the loading time of new subareas and/or kingdoms (SMO) can vary. To counteract that, the `CPU_BOOST_MODE` can be detected: In the `APM`-interface, the call to enabling/disabling the boost mode can be caught and forwarded to the TASing system, which can pause the script execution if neccessary and enabled in the settings.
During script playback/recording, the user has to see what happens currently. For that, a new label has been added to the bottom-left corner, always displaying the current state of the TASing system.
First of all, TASing requires a script to play back. The user can select the parent directory at `System -> Filesystem`, next to an option to pause TAS during loads: This requires a "hacky" setup deeper in the code and will be added in the last commit.
Also, Hotkeys are being introduced: CTRL+F5 for playback start/stop, CTRL+F6 for re-reading the script and CTRL+F7 for recording a new script.
The base playback system supports up to 8 controllers (specified by `PLAYER_NUMBER` in `tas_input.h`), which all change their inputs simulataneously when `TAS::UpdateThread` is called.
The recording system uses the controller debugger to read the state of the first controller and forwards that data to the TASing system for recording. Currently, this process sadly is not frame-perfect and pixel-accurate.

Some titles set an exit lock through HLE, which prompts an exit confirmation when stopping emulation if the system is locked.
This change allows bypassing this confirmation if the setting to confirm exits has been disabled by the user.
The log filter was being ignored on initialization due to the logging instance being initialized before the config instance, so the log filter was set to its default value.
This fixes that oversight, along with using descriptive exceptions instead of abort() calls.
This simplifies the logging system.
This also fixes some lost messages on startup.
The simplification is simple. I removed unused functions and moved most things in the .h to the .cpp. I replaced the unnecessary linked list with its contents laid out as three member variables. Anything that went through the linked list now directly accesses the backends. Generic functions are replaced with those for each specific use case and there aren't many. This change increases coupling but we gain back more KISS and encapsulation.
With those changes it was easy to make it thread-safe. I just removed the mutex and turned a boolean atomic. I was planning to use this thread-safety in my next PR about stacktraces. It was actually async-signal-safety at first but I ended up using a different approach. Anyway getting rid of the linked list is important for that because have the list of backends constantly changing complicates things.
The screenshot directory path returned does not have a trailing directory separator character. This caused screenshots to be saved in the parent directory of the configured screenshot directory.
This fixes that behavior
This setting is best referred to as a speed limit, as it involves the limits of all timing based aspects of the emulator, not only framerate.
This allows us to differentiate it from the fps unlocker setting.
This change adds two new context menu items to remove either the OpenGL or the Vulkan shader caches individually, and the provides the option to remove all caches for the selected title.
This also changes the behavior of the open shader cache option. Now it creates the shader cache directory for the title if it does not yet exist.
Some titles crash if the FPS limit is disabled when launching. This change ensures that titles launch with the limit in-place to avoid issues.
In order to simplify the change, the UI toggle was removed as it will always be overridden at launch to be disabled.
The setting can still be toggled during gameplay with the hotkey, and indicated by the fps label in the status bar.
Currently, whether or not the title is 32-bit or 64-bit was being
appended as a suffix to the title, which is fine for left-to-right
languages, but may not always fly so smoothly with some right-to-left
languages.
We also weren't marking that portion of the string as translatable,
which prevents translators from translating part of the title string.
Creates a new BasicSettings class in common/settings, and forces setting
a default and label for each setting that uses it in common/settings.
Moves defaults and labels from both frontends into common settings.
Creates a helper function in each frontend to facillitate reading the
settings now with the new default and label properties.
Settings::Setting is also now a subclass of Settings::BasicSetting. Also
adds documentation for both Setting and BasicSetting.
There are a lot of scenarios where we don't particularly care whether or not the removal operation and just simply attempt a removal.
As such, removing the [[nodiscard]] attribute is best for these functions.
This warns the user if there isn't enough free space to dump the entire RomFS to disk. It requires at least the size of the extracted RomFS + 1 GiB as a buffer of free space.
Causes a heap-use-after free reported by AddressSanitizer. This makes
use of std::filesystem::path, but due to that we have to use their
string() function which may not work for all characters.
