Work in progress commit:
Reworking WiiXplorer GUI Core (most of the parts of libwiigui are removed/recoded).
Making application more object oriented with signals/slots like most frameworks do. GUI/Application is now on the same thread, the main thread. Orienting the GUI framework to be more like most frameworks (e.g. Qt).

Don't bother compiling this revision because most of the things are not working yet!

Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space
Kirby's Dream Collection: Classic Collection
Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings: Fate of Atlantis

* ES_LAUNCH:
Fixed SSBB from starting at the mini-games screen.
Build fix
Corrected a state bug where newly loaded dols did not have their patches applied.
Changed the HLE system to allow it to hook the beginning, the end or replace the entire function without changing the GC memory. Fixes Kirby's Return to Dreamland. Added a way to categorise the type of HLE function. Currently, there are debug, floating point, memory and generic functions. Added a HLE function for OSGetResetCode (Warm reset). Fixes the CSI games. Added a switch to disable all of the HLE functions if the idle skipping option is disabled.
Added some IOS version checks and code to clear memory before loading the dol.
Added support for Reset (from menu). Fixes Sam & Max.

Added argument detection and passing to the loaded dol. This fixes the Wii Sports+Wii Sports Resort bundle pack.
Added preliminary support for ES_LAUNCH (Wii Multi-boot games) by using HLE to hijack the OSBootDol function.

Conflicts:
Source/Core/DiscIO/Src/FileSystemGCWii.cpp

Version 3.5-258
Merge branch 'unix-fastmem'

Version 3.5-256
Fix two unsigned/signed mismatch warnings.

Version 3.5-255
Change audio latency setting to a wxSpinCtrl, fixes layout problem on linux.

Version 3.5-254
- Made GenRandomCode's 'size' parameter unsigned. Doesn't make sense to have the capability of being able to be negative.

- Made CodesToHeader's 'numCodes' unsigned for the same reason.

- Removed some type-casts from other functions.

Version 3.5-253
Real fix for Linux Wiimote disconnect hanging. Fixes issue 5903.

Version 3.5-252
Fix a clear bug in aldlist.cpp.

Properly clears itself now.

Version 3.5-251

Version 3.5-250
OSX build fix

Version 3.5-249
Added backwards compatibility with old OpenAL drivers.

Version 3.5-248
Fix a gcc initialization order warning.

Version 3.5-247
Readd the OpenAL option.

The OpenAL backend requires OpenAL Soft to be installed: http://kcat.strangesoft.net/openal.html

You may need to rename soft_oal.dll to OpenAL32.dll in the Dolphin folder.

Windows users may also need to update their OpenAL drivers by downloading them from

http://connect.creativelabs.com/openal/Downloads/oalinst.zip

Version 3.5-246
Merge branch 'OpenAL'

* OpenAL:
Changed SoundTouch to use float samples, allowing SSE to be used. Made the DPL2 decoder disabled by default. Re-added the audio hack used by the Accurate VBeam emulation option.
Added a latency setting to the audio settings. Removed the Sample Rate setting. It is now hardcoded to 48000hz (accurate audio timing).
Skipped timestretching if the emulator is running below 10% speed to prevent buffer overflows.
Removed the synchronisation between the CPU thread and the audio thread. Added code to detect and resume from buffer underruns. Disabled the ability to change the DPL2 option after the game has started. Fixed a memory leak that occurred in the DPL2 decoder. Fixed the OSX build.
Build fix
Added a Dolby Pro Logic II (DPL2) decoder in the OpenAL backend. DPL2 audio is decoded to 5.1. Code adapted from ffdshow. Added an option in the DSP settings to disable the DPL2 decoder in case Dolphin incorrectly detects a 5.1 audio system. Updated the OpenAL files to OpenAL Soft 1.15.1 in the Windows build.
Removed the system timing hack which was activated when the Accurate VBeam option was enabled.
Fixed the include directories in Audio Common for the Windows 32bit build.
Fixed the include directories in Audio Common for the Windows build.
Messed up the static include line
Fix include paths and compiling in Linux. Externals soundtouch is 1.7.1, while Ubuntu 12.10 is 1.6.x. Externals soundtouch is compiled with integer samples, while ubuntu is compiled with float samples. Float samples is probably the more common route. If you're going to use soundtouch, you should probably use SAMPLETYPE instead of explicitly choosing short. This probably breaks the windows build since its includes aren't setup.
OSX: typedef signed char BOOL
OSX build fix
Build fix
Added audio time stretching by using the SoundTouch library.
Implemented correct audio timing.
OpenAL for Windows initial commit

Version 3.5-228

Improve an error message.

Version 3.5-226
Fix hang on Linux Dolphin close when wiimotes are connected.

Version 3.5-225
Make IsValidBluetoothName just check for "Nintendo RVL-" rather than having a bunch of hardcoded names.

Version 3.5-224
GetTextureBGRA()'s 'width' and 'height' parameters should be unsigned.

Version 3.5-223
This changes Linux to control Wiimotes on the interrupt channel. Which in turn allows -TR wiimotes to work in Linux.

Version 3.5-222
This removes the Lock Thread to Core option. Please file your complaints appropriately.

Version 3.5-221
'width' and 'height' parameters of wxBitmapFromMemoryRGBA should be unsigned.

Not a big deal, but it's good to do it for the sake of maintaining practicalities.

Version 3.5-220
re-enable PulseAudio backend

Version 3.5-219
Merge branch 'pulseaudio-simple'

Version 3.5-215
Fix a small text overlapping issue in the MemcardManager.

Version 3.5-202
Fix the signed/unsigned comparison warnings created by a recent commit.

Version 3.5-201
'count' parameter for AddStereoSamples and AddStereoSamplesBE in WaveFile should be unsigned. Doesn't make sense to have them signed.

Version 3.5-200
Fix two signed/unsigned mismatch warnings.

Also tidied up SDCardUtil - made the variables make more sense (typewise)

Version 3.5-199
Set focus on game list after stopping emulation.

Version 3.5-198
Merge branch 'flat-flags' Fixes issue 5837.

Version 3.5-188
Gave the "platform" icons a complete white background rather than a slightly-uglier white box. (apparently XPM only supports a 1-bit alpha channel) Centered the icons a bit better too.

Version 3.5-187
Convert relative paths to absolute when opening containing folder of an iso.

Fixes issue 5879.

Version 3.5-186
PixelShaderGen: Change error strings to be unique so that we can identify unexpected behavior more easily.

v0.9.8
- [LIBRETRO] Added Mednafen NGP and Mednafen VB.
- [LIBRETRO] Added NEStopia Undead (1.44).
- [LIBRETRO] Updated Mednafen PCE Fast and Mednafen Wonderswan to 0.9.28.
- [LIBRETRO] Added PCSX ReARMed for RetroArch Android.
- [FBA] Updated Final Burn Alpha to 0.9.27.28.
- [Gambatte] Updated Gambatte (now has built-in GBC BIOS color palettes).
- [SNES9x Next] Updated SNES9x Next (fixes numerous bugs).
- [FCEUmm] Updated FCEUmm to latest version.
- [Genesis Plus GX] Updated Genesis Plus GX to latest version.
- (RARCH_CONSOLE) Various stability fixes
- (RARCH_CONSOLE) More sane unzipping mode - will temporarily extract file to HDD and then instantly delete it when it's done with it (ie. when another ROM gets loaded or when RetroArch shuts down)
- (RARCH_CONSOLE) All console ports now use 59.94Hz for synchronization on the RetroArch side instead of 59.92Hz as before. All consoles use 59.94Hz so this agrees better with them.
- (WII) Made a custom wiiuse input driver and built it in. Slimmed down and should give better results. Also rejigged input in general.
- (WII) Added rewind option. NOTE: This feature is CPU intensive - a core might need to at least run at double realtime FPS in order for this option
to be useful.
- (WII) Button combos can now be done ingame. You can do rewinding, fast forwarding, selecting save state slots and 'save state load/save state save' all ingame without first going to the menu. For more information, read the README.txt for the Wii release.
