Yes, that's right! It's time to add even more NKit warnings,
because users still don't understand what NKit is or how it works!
More specifically, some users seem to be under the impression that
converting an NKit file to for instance RVZ using Dolphin's convert
feature will result in a normal RVZ file, when it in fact results in
an NKit RVZ file (since NKit is not a container format in the sense
that GCZ/WIA/RVZ/WBFS/CISO is, but rather a kind of trimmed ISO).
I can hardly blame users for not knowing this, because it's not
intuitive unless you know the technical details of how NKit works.
Special shoutout to Android for not having RTL compatible
variants of nextFocusRight and nextFocusLeft.
Ideally we would have some way to block the user from using
the d-pad to switch between the two panes when in portrait mode,
or make the list pane act as if it's to the left of the details
pane rather than the right when the details pane is open, but I
don't know of a good way to do this. SlidingPaneLayout doesn't
really seem to have been implemented with d-pad navigation in mind.
Thankfully, landscape is the most important use case for gamepads.
The same kind of change as the changes made in the previous
commit, but this change is more involved, in particular because
of how SyncProgramsJobService was using display names as keys.
Center @2x and android banners, and adjust @1x banner to improve

I think the AArch64 JIT has come far enough that it doesn't have to
be called experimental anymore.
I'm also labeling the x86-64 JIT as x86-64 for consistence with the
AArch64 JIT. This will especially be helpful if we start supporting
AArch64 on macOS, as AArch64 macOS can run both the x86-64 JIT and
the AArch64 JIT depending on whether you enable Rosetta 2.
Many Android users want to disable SyncOnSkipIdle as a performance
hack, to the point where it's often suggested as something to
paste into Dolphin.ini (if not to use a fork). If adding it as
a setting in the GUI gives us an opportunity to explain what the
setting actually does and stops people from pasting stuff they
don't understand into INI files, I think it can be worth adding
despite how it can make games unstable. It not being in the GUI
doesn't seem to be stopping people from disabling it anyway.
The added setting in the GUI is a three-way setting called
"Synchronize GPU Thread" with the following alternatives:
"Never": SyncGPU = False, SyncOnIdleSkip = False
"On Idle Skipping": SyncGPU = False, SyncOnIdleSkip = True
"Always": SyncGPU = True, SyncOnIdleSkip = True
See PR 8203 for background on the game INI deletion prompt.
It's been almost two years since PR 8203 was merged, so you
would think that people are no longer creating game INIs that
contain a copy of every global setting, right? Unfortunately,
MMJ was forked not too long before that and never backported the
change, so right now there's a not insignificant number of people
online posting game INIs full of this garbage for others to use.
One thing that's been missing from the game INI deletion prompt
is a description of what the problem with having tons of extra
lines in a game INI actually is. This change adds that, in the
the hope that it will make people ignore the warning less often.
This option does in fact not enable and disable logging as a whole.
You can get logs through logcat regardless of this setting.
Also taking the opportunity to remove the reference to
the "dolphin-emu" folder name since we will no longer be
using that folder once scoped storage is applied to Dolphin.
The main reason why I'm adding this isn't actually to allow
users to swipe down to refresh, it's to add a loading indicator.
Considering that the Storage Access Framework can be slow for
folders with many items (many subfolders?), not showing a
loading indicator might give users the impression that adding
a folder resulted in nothing happening even though Dolphin is
scanning for games in the background. But I suppose letting
users swipe down to refresh is a nice bonus with the change.
Added Opacity controls for the user to customize the opacity of their touchscreen controls. Also, placed both Scale and Opacity settings into one window/option called Adjust Controls.
In 8c723d0, I intended to update the main activity, emulation
activity and game properties dialog, but I forgot to actually
update the game properties dialog. This commit fixes that.
The changes outside of GamePropertiesDialog.java are just
to hide the Wii controller settings for GameCube games.
Basically, instead of having one button for config, one button
for graphics settings and so on, we now have just one settings
button which takes you to a screen where you pick between
config/graphics/GameCube controllers/Wii Remotes.
The main reason I want to do this is because people still have
trouble finding Overlay Controls in the "new" in-game menu.
Typically (depending on the screen size and the length of the
game name), the scrollable part of the menu can fit 4 items,
and merging Config and Graphics Settings into one item would
move Overlay Controls from 5th place to 4th place (assuming the
user doesn't have savestates enabled), which makes it findable
even for users who don't realize the menu can be scrolled.
The dialog that's shown when long pressing a game in the game
list is also shortened. While not a pressing matter, I think
it was getting a bit long.
An additional reason to do this is because we probably will
want to make it possible to edit the controller settings
from the in-game menu at some point in the future. With the
old approach, this would require us to dedicate a whopping 4
menu items just for settings (not including Overlay Controls),
which I think is excessive.
