This PR isn't quite finished yet – the new approach is fully implemented for buttons, but hasn't been implemented for analog controls. I've opened the PR early to get feedback on whether my threading model is a good approach. |
|
The threading model seems fine to me. On master, holding a controller button and unchecking the box in the TAS window will result in the controller input and checkbox staying pressed. In this PR, the checkbox (and actual input sent to the game) will become unpressed. Is that change intentional? |
|
Yes, though the main reason I did it was so it would be consistent with how analog inputs worked so I could simplify the code. |

Alright, this should be ready to go now. |
This gets rid of a blocking operation, improving performance and fixing https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/12893. This also makes us no longer directly access the state of certain UI elements from the CPU thread, which probably wasn't thread-safe but doesn't seem to have caused any observable issues so far.
IIRC we needed this before the input override system was added.
