Overview

Package gamehandoff tells when a launched game has been handed to the emulator or core that runs it. The process that loads a game opens its file, reads it and usually closes it, and Core can watch those events without any cooperation from the emulator: MiSTer's Main streams the game into the FPGA core, and RetroArch under Batocera reads it as it starts the content.

Functions

func Wait 

func Wait(ctx context.Context, clock clockwork.Clock, events <-chan Kind, opts Options) error

Wait returns once events show the game handed over and Settle has passed with no further activity on it. It returns nil without a handover when the game is never opened within OpenWindow, and ctx's error if the wait is cancelled first.

func Watch 

func Watch(ctx context.Context, path string) (<-chan Kind, error)

Watch reports opens, reads and closes of the file at path until ctx ends, then closes the returned channel. A full channel drops no events: the watcher blocks, and the kernel queues events meanwhile.

Types

type Kind 

type Kind int

Kind is what happened to the watched file. 

const (
	// Open means a process opened the file.
	Open Kind = iota
	// Close means a process closed an open of the file.
	Close
	// Access means a process read from the file.
	Access
)

type LaunchLog 

type LaunchLog struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

LaunchLog remembers the last game Core launched. A probe waits only for a game launched by Core: one already running when a tracker noticed it was opened before anything could watch, so waiting on it would stall until the open window ends.

func NewLaunchLog 

func NewLaunchLog(clock clockwork.Clock) *LaunchLog

NewLaunchLog returns an empty log.

func (*LaunchLog) Note 

func (l *LaunchLog) Note(path string)

Note records that Core is launching path.

func (*LaunchLog) Recent 

func (l *LaunchLog) Recent(path string, within time.Duration) bool

Recent reports whether path is the game Core launched within the last within.

func (*LaunchLog) Since 

func (l *LaunchLog) Since(path string, within time.Duration) (time.Time, bool)

Since returns when path was launched, if it is the game Core launched within the last within.

type Options 

type Options struct {
	OpenWindowStart <-chan struct{}
	Settle          time.Duration
	OpenWindow      time.Duration
	IdleHandover    time.Duration
	UntilClose      bool
}

Options say what counts as the game being handed over.
