Ayyyy, welcome to the UI: Actions Menu → Amiibo & Skylanders PR!
WOOOOO!!!!
This is the third PR in a series aimed at delivering the largest overhaul and improvements to the `Actions` menu yet.
This PR introduces visual and functionality improvements to the two `Scan Amiibo` options, as well as improving `Scan Skylanders`.
### GENERAL
* **Renamed:** Open Mii Applet → Open Mii Editor in `MainMenuBarView.axaml.cs`
### LOCALISATION
* **Fractured:** More locales
* `Amiibo.json` - all UI-related locales to the `Scan Amiibo` window
* `Common_Buttons.json` - all locales related to buttons
* `Common_FilePicker.json` - all locales related to the file picker that are implemented in many places
* `Dialog_Amiibo.json` - all Amiibo dialogs
* `Dialog_Skylanders.json` - all Skylander dialogs
* **Removed:** Some weird duplicated locales (they appeared after some sort of rebase, but they were few)
**NOTE:** `Common_Buttons.json` and `Common_FilePicker.json` were not fully populated, but many more locales will be added and cleaned up in future PRs.
### SCAN AMIIBO (WINDOW)
* **Improved:** The UI
* The UI now more cleanly utilises both Normal and Flush Controls.
* All buttons have been moved to the top row and features a whole lot more updates (read below).
* **Reworded:** `Hack: Random UUID Tag` → `Use Random UUID`
* The option is inherently already a hack/workaround, therefore, having "Hack" is not necessary. It is also implied that it's a tag.
* **Implemented:** [Feature Request #271](https://github.com/Ryubing/Issues/issues/271)
* The feature request is for the ability to pause emulation while navigating the `Scan Amiibo` window (so as to reduce/remove timeouts) and for an Amiibo "name" sorting feature. You asked, we deliver!
* **Pause Emulation:**
* The top row now features a "setting" button dropdown, which houses `Use Random UUID` and `Pause Emulation While Scanning`
* Note: Both options were moved to a button dropdown so as to not have to increase window size by a 1000x
* `Pause Emulation While Scanning` is a dynamic, real-time implementation.
* By default, the checkbox is not checked.
* When it's checked, emulation _instantly_ pauses for the duration while the window is open. Pressing "Scan Amiibo" or "Cancel" resumes emulation. Reopening the window pauses the emulation instantly as well.
* This setting persists both while in-game and upon restarting Ryujinx, so users don't have to constantly go back and check the option again.
* Additionally, this feature has been propagated to `Scan Amiibo (BIN)`. Perhaps some users would also want emulation to pause while scanning via BIN, so if the checkbox is checked, it'll pause emulation when the file picker is open as well.
* **Sorting & Search:**
* Additionally, implemented a simple "sort by name", in ascending and descending order.
* Added a search bar (related to the change below) to help with searching through the long Amiibo list.
* Search is semi-alphabetical, semi-series based. If I want to search for Samus Amiibo, then if I type "Samus", it'll first show Dark Samus, as it appears in a series earlier in the list. This behaviour can be modified to just be alphabetical, but it is also more categorisation.
* **Modified & Renamed:** `Show Incompatible Amiibo` → `Show All Amiibo`
* Pressing `Show Incompatible Amiibo` would display all Amiibo available, so the option was renamed.
* The option now forces all Amiibo to appear in a list, without a preselected series. Unchecked the option restores original behaviour by breaking down Amiibo by their series (and only those directly compatible with the game).
* **Removed:** Series label
* It's clear that it's an Amiibo series.
* **Fixed:** Amiibo Usage visual structure
* When an Amiibo had multiple in-game usages (multiple purposes), they would all be squished together with no spaces in between them, reducing readability.
* Now, they are all separated and given an extra line between each usage.
* Additionally, fixed "Unknown" text position as well by giving it another extra empty line.
* **Renamed:** Writeable to Usage (Can Save Data)
* Usage and Usage (Can Save Data) are separate strings because some languages must add space before or after the colon
* **Fixed:** Sometimes incorrect Amiibo images could be shown when pressing `Show Incompatible Amiibo`/`Show All Amiibo` in certain instances.
* Sometimes = pressing the checkbox 10 or 20...maybe 30 times in a row (I pressed it a lot!)
* **Reworded:** Cabinet Dialog strings
* Cabinet Dialog is the dialog that appears when you want to rename your Amiibo. Previously, the options didn't reflect the actual window and what they were asking the user, but now clearly tell the user that they are renaming their Amiibo, and when the dialog prompts the user to scan their amiibo again.
### SCAN AMIIBO (BIN)
* **Renamed:** `Scan Amiibo (.BIN)` to `Scan Amiibo (BIN)` to be similar to `Install Keys` > `KEYS` and similar menu items
* **Adjusted:** File picker title when loading Amiibo from BIN to...literally tell the user what to select and what will happen (similar to `Install Firmware` and `Install Keys` file picker titles)
### SCAN/REMOVE SKYLANDER
* **Merged:** `Scan Skylander` and `Remove Skylander`
* Instead of having two separate buttons, let's have one button that actively updates state. Instead of using two shortcuts, it now uses one, and the label updates based on whether the game is asking to `Scan Skylander` or whether you can `Remove Skylander`.
* **Fixed:** `Scan Skylander`/`Remove Skylander` were not visible properly
* Initial implementation only displayed the menu options/buttons when a particular Skylander Imaginators game was being played (i.e. specific ID)
* While there is only one Skylander game on the Switch, the game has been distributed in multiple regions under different game IDs and has different languages. People who owned Skylander Imaginators with a 0100ccc0002e6000 ID could use this feature and _nobody else._
* This has now been fixed by allowing those options to be visible at all times, regardless of the game
* For Skylander games, this is not an issue because the backend implementation for scanning/removing a skylander is the same (tested)
* For other games, then it doesn't matter since the feature is not used, but it will let users know the feature exists, in case they wished to previously play the game, but couldn't due to the missing backend.
* **Renamed:** Skylander functions and methods
* You don't open a window (like Scan Amiibo) but you open a file picker.
* **Fixed:** Inconsistent button state and shortcut update
* This was a bug in the previous implementation as well - you couldn't scan/remove skylander with the keyboard shortcut unless you opened the `Actions` menu (and only then would the shortcut register). This has been fixed.
As such...Skylanders Imaginators are now **Playable**! Updated the entry and added another game ID.
_If there are any features or changes that you wish to be implemented, please comment down below and I'll be happy to accommodate!_

p.s i didn't mess up one of the commit names i swear
Today I had a free day to look at and work on the entire Brazilian
Portuguese language.
Translations that had not been done before have been added
Fixed several translations that didn't make sense
Translated description of functions that were not translated correctly
Words were written as close to the original English
Add Donkey Kong Country Returns HD to compatibility list
Deadlock label added.
Game sometimes just stops loading in loading screens. Game continues like its doing something but you'll be sitting there for minutes wondering why nothing is happening.
Considering the game isn't crashing, this might be an emulator-side mutex issue. I've seen that before.
