bicarusandGitHub a4c3eddc2f graphics: rewrite auto-rotate and refresh rate options to be more reliable (#607)
## Description of change

Rotate monitor & change the refresh rate **well before** the game is
launched.

This is much faster and more reliable compared to what we do now, which
is trying to do monitor changes during CreateWindow hooks. For example,
SDVX makes a bunch of OS / NVAPI calls to figure out monitor geometry
while it's booting, and by the time CreateWindow is called, the game
already made up its mind, which leads to weird graphical issues.

This affects both windowed mode and full screen.

In addition, add options for normal orientation (landscape) and upside
down (landscape, flipped) options. This can be used if the monitor is
normally rotated to portrait, but the game needs to be in landscape.

bicarusandGitHub 5af3e0d494 imgui: migrate to new event-based IO (#604)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#287

## Description of change
Switch over to new event-based I/O system in ImGui so that we can keep
up with ImGui updates.

Unlike #287, this change does not modify how mouse position is handled.
That continues to be supported by newer versions of ImGui.

bicarusandGitHub 97d65b137a overlay: "reset all" buttons for buttons/overlay/analog tabs (#578)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#576 

## Description of change
Add `Reset All` buttons to these tabs which clears out bindings to none
/ default.

For keypads, introduce a special `Use Preset` button which lets users
pick between numpad and top row number keys.

Update UI-visible string used for vKeys, especially the numpad ones
(e.g., `.` is now `Numpad .` to distinguish from the regular `.`
period).

Breaking change: if the user never had `P1 Keypad 00` set, the default
will change from `Enter` to `Numpad -` since both enter keys trigger the
same. This will affect a small number of popn/ddr players. They can just
change it back.

## Testing

## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
#574 

## Description of change

* Add binds for Nostroller
* Update matching logic to ignore common device-side output names like
"Button" "Light" and "LED" (e.g., `Button 1` from a device now matches
on `P1 1`)
* For RGB matching, in addition to `Light R` on the device also try
`LightR` (Nostroller needs this)
* Add a confirmation dialog for `Clear All`
* Address minor bugs

## Testing

bicarusandGitHub e4b08064b7 rawinput: fix incorrect usage of HidP_GetUsages when descriptor is not range (#565)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists
Fixes #563 

## Description of change
When buttons are presented as NotRange and instead an array of single
buttons, we are calling `HidP_GetUsages` expecting at most one result
back, but in reality we need to expect all possible buttons on that
usage page since `HidP_GetUsages` returns all buttons in the usage page
+ link collection which would be the entire array of buttons - see
documentation for `HidP_GetUsages` on MSDN.

## Testing
Tested with my own controller modifying USB descriptors... more
controller testing is needed.

bicarusandGitHub dc6850e479 overlay: helper modal dialog for picking option values (#561)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists

## Description of change
Introduce a new modal dialog for picking out some of the options to
improve UX.

Implemented a few for now:

1. UI for picking ASIO drivers from a list (for -iidxasio, -sdvxasio,
-asioconvert, etc)
2. Button to generate card numbers for -card0 and card1
3. Processor Affinity selector (very similar to what's in Windows Task
Manager, list of checkboxes)
4. file selector (file open dialog for various file path overrides like
log file)
5. folder selector (folder override)

I wrote a selector for COM ports as well but how we use the value was
inconsistent (\\\\.\\COMx vs. COMx) and didn't see a huge point in it so
I didn't check it in.

## Testing

bicarusandGitHub 2d623e179b audio: simplify ASIO backend conversion (#560)
## Link to GitHub Issue or related Pull Request, if one exists

## Description of change
Deprecate backend conversion options and replace with one unified option
for enabling WASAPI exclusive conversion to ASIO.

The new option takes in a string (ASIO driver name) and when filled out,
it automatically enables the ASIO backend.

This is to avoid confusion that was caused by the previous option - the
fact that it was split into two (one to enable the conversion, another
to optionally pick which ASIO driver to use) and that user needed to
specify an integer as opposed to the driver name.

## Testing
Tested on IIDX33. Old options should continue to work.

bicarusandGitHub 954e6022d9 sdvx, touch: hook Windows touch API when main monitor is rotated 270 degrees (portrait flipped) (#558)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Game expects primary monitor to be in 90 deg rotation, and does the
touch calculation accordingly.

If the user does 270 deg rotation ("portrait, flipped") then the game's
touch calculation is flipped upside down. Detect this and provide the
fixed up values in the touch hook.

## Testing
Tested with SDVX in 90 deg, 270 deg rotation, and 1080p, forced 1440p.

bicarusandGitHub 4d32dde83e overlay: remove multiple pages from Buttons/Overlay/Lights tabs, replace with tree layout (#541)
The old pages UI was not intuitive and often led to questions like:

* How do I bind multiple controllers to a single input?? (failure to
discover)
* I have a ghost input that won't go away, how do I fix this? Is this a
bug? (non-intuitive UI - there are too many pages and finding out where
each binding is potentially requires scrolling through 100 pages)
* Potential perf issue - user binds too many by accident, or puts
bindings all the way in page 99, requiring us to walk each element in
the vector, wasting precious CPU cycles during an input poll.

This PR removes the multiple pages, and puts everything on a single
page, showing multiple binds in a tree structure.

It also puts a hard limit on how many alternate bindings can be made (8
for buttons, 16 for lights), though if the user has configured more in
older version they will be respected.

## Description of change
Three bugs:

* Some keys are IME-dependent. Right Alt can be IME mode switch for
Japanese / Korean, and Right Ctrl is often the Kanji button.
* If you press modifiers like Ctrl during bind-many-naive, it will skip
over a button, because of broken for loop logic that ends up calling
`inc_buttons_many_index` too many times
* trying to cancel out of bind-many-naive with left and right mouse
buttons swap doesn't work

## Testing
Validating various IME. I don't have a keyboard in another language
though..

bicarusandGitHub f0f46296f2 cfg: clean up stale buttons and lights alt bindings on save (#534)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
For buttons and lights, it's possible to have multiple alternatives.

When you create alternatives and then clear then, the config files
continue to have stale entries. This is because alternatives are stored
in a vector and elements are never deleted when unbound; they get
written out to the XML on modification.

These stale XML entries live forever, and get loaded on next startup of
spice.

This PR fixes that by deleting stale entries - basically, XML nodes will
be kept only until the last valid node (properly bound button or light),
trimming the trailing invalid entries.

## Testing
Manual testing, validating XML.

manager config file relies on having an exact match of
`model+dest+spec+rev+ext`.

This causes a lot of confusion for:

* people who edit prop files - e.g., to switch between sdvx nemsys/valk
cab modes - and forget to re-enable patches
* people who use batch scripts to change xml files on launch - e.g., for
gitadora, omnimix, etc - even if they checked auto-apply in spicecfg,
when they use the batch script to launch the game, the setting won't be
loaded

This PR solves this by just ignoring the `dest`/`spec`/`rev` fields when
checking if patches should be auto applied on launch. Yes, this may
cause false positive cases, but probably very unlikely, and it's pretty
harmless anyway.

For future consideration: should we fix up gitadora XG disparity (K32 vs
K33 etc)?

bicarusandGitHub 7684028f99 io: fix bi2x_hook implementation in various games (#522)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
similar issue as #499

## Description of change
Fix broken bi2x_hook implementations that did not properly allocate I/O
buffers with correct sizes.

People keep copy-pasting other implementation that allocate 0 bytes of
memory, but we run the risk of memory corruption or/or game crashes if
we keep doing this.

We've seen some mystery crashes with CCJ for example, maybe this will
fix that.

While I'm here, implement SOCD cleaner for Polaris Chord.

## Testing
Tested I/O menu with CCJ, play through tutorial (didn't test matches)
Tested GWDelta (test menu and a few songs in guitar)
Tested PC (played a credit)
Tested QKS (still can't get past the title screen)

## Description of change
Just like the old `sys_code_get_cmdline`, override command line
parameters in `app-config*` so that we can control windowed mode / full

Technically both games can boot into the correct mode using `-d -DM` but
we'll try to use the right one just in case.

## Description of change
This is a work in progress.

What works:
- [x] subscreen overlay shows the touch screen image (in windowed mode)
- [x] touch works in the overlay
- [x] only the main window is shown, other windows are not launched

What doesn't:
- [ ] game occasionally crashes when entering test menu?
- [ ] full screen mode is not tested at all due to monitor requirements
- [ ] need more polish (various options to control the behavior)

## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
Fixes #512

## Description of change
Fix digital wailing not being recognized consistently.

Also address the fact that wailing was completely broken when lefty mode
was on. This requires a new option that the user needs to check off in
the configurator since we can't magically guess if the user is holding
the guitar in lefty mode.

- [x] fix downward wail
- [x] digital lefty mode
- [x] implement all of this for arena model i/o
- [x] test dx cab 2p
- [x] lefty toggle in overlay
- [x] fix analog not working for 2p guitar
- [ ] analog lefty mode?

bicarusandGitHub a6f29d6a5a audio: implement wrapped IAudioClient3 (#511)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
Fixes #509

## Description of change
Implement `WrappedIAudioClient3`.

For now, we have only seen SDVX use it (EG final) and only when the
shared mode patch is enabled. Exclusive still goes through version 1.
This means that for V3 we can forego implementing backend conversion
logic (for now).

Only significant addition is `InitializeSharedAudioStream` and this IS
called by SDVX when shared mode patch is enabled.

## Testing
Tested EG final, tested year 1 data, also IIDX shared/exclusive wasapi.

bicarusandGitHub 6bf7ae9074 graphics: submonitor refresh rate option (#507)
## Description of change
Add an option that forces requested refresh rate value for the second
monitor; i.e., instead of 60Hz allow the user to override the adapter to
be 70Hz.

Useful for people who have a touch screen that can't do 60Hz.

I don't know if this would cause any timing issues in IIDX or SDVX, but
it seems to boot and monitor check is unaffected.

## Testing
Tested TDJ And UFC mode with a submonitor that can only do 61Hz.

bicarusandGitHub 0078b72b03 graphics: address performance regression with Image Resize (#504)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
Regressed by #401 

## Description of change
Two things from testing SDVX Live2D -

1. ColorFill is almost always too expensive and will lead to drops
1. Scale factor of 0.5 causes GPU to sync and causes drops

(ARGB/XRGB doesn't matter, linear filtering doesn't matter)

1 is fixed by removing ColorFill calls on every frame - instead only do
this once when the user changes the duplicate option (on the next frame)

2 is fixed by updating the UI (limit the slider) though people can
ctrl+click to override these slider limits.

The warning label will be kept with slightly reworded text.

## Testing
tested in sdvx eg final (sudden death) - on my RTX 4070, my FPS is rock
solid 120 fps even with image resize on now.

bicarusandGitHub ebf6382e7f sdvx: add warning about Image Resize feature affecting Live2D performance (#502)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Turning on Image Resize feature completely tanks performance of Live2D
in some SDVX songs. Add a giant warning next to the UI.

On my system with RTX 4070, Sudden Death is normally a rock solid
120FPS, but drops to 30-40FPS when resizing is on.

* linear filter does not affect this at all
* window resize options also have no effect

It's really just rendering on a larger surface + calling `StretchRect`
that does this.

Additionally, hide the resolution swap option since it sees very low
usage & has potential gotchas likes this.

bicarusandGitHub 7b903d35e2 iidx, sdvx: SOCD cleaner for knobs and turntables (#497)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Apply SOCD cleaner algorithm to deal with the case where both
counter-clockwise and clockwise buttons are pressed at the same time.

In SDVX, default algorithm is to prefer the most recently pressed
direction. This is better for dealing with slams in rapid succession,
for example, as you don't have to completely let go of one direction to
hit the other now.

In IIDX, default algorithm is neutral (same behavior as before). Using
last or first algorithm results in double scratches which means you'll
likely end up with an excessive poor after hitting a scratch, so neutral
is actually beneficial. Besides, if you are serious about playing on the
keyboard, you should be using `TT +/-` and `TT +/- Alternate`.

## Testing
Tested SDVX 3, EG (old cab), EG valk cab modes, IIDX 24, 27, 33

bicarusandGitHub 1354d63b85 iidx, sdvx: bi2x hook fix (attempt 2) (#499)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
see my previous attempt #496, which has been reverted by #500

## Description of change
Two issues:

1. the original implementation of bi2x_hook for iidx misunderstood what
`aioNMgrIob2_Create` does. In the original I/O code it returns a pointer
to a C++ class instance, which would also have a vptr (pointer to a
vtable) in the beginning. The original author of this code of the hook
in spice thought that `aioNMgrIob2_Create` returns a pointer to a
pointer. This may happen to work but it's not 100% accurate, so this has
been fixed by separating out the class and the vtable allocation.
Without this, the game could have accessed memory outside this buffer.

2. And then the SDVX implementation blindly copy-pasted the IIDX
`bi2x_hook`. Along with the issue above, they also forgot to check the
I/O DLLs to see how much memory needs to be allocated and change that.
Instead, they kept the same value as IIDX, which was too small. Fix that
as well.

## Testing
Doing some extensive testing with IIDX (27-33) and SDVX versions (EG).

bicarusandGitHub bf7666939a iidx, sdvx: bi2x hook fix (#496)
## Link to GitHub Issue, if one exists
n/a

## Description of change
Both games take the address returned by `aioNMgrIob2_Create` and reads
values offset from that address as part of the I/O routine. This means
that the I/O routines of these games have been accessing random
variables in data/bss segments for years, they just happened to get a
value that doesn't lead to a crash.

Stumbled upon this while trying to add a new feature that required
adding more globals, but suddenly the game stopped polling I/O when I
changed a value of my global. Scary.

## Testing
Tested both games I/O
