## Summary
Automatic controller assignment for Eden, aimed at couch co-op and handheld PCs (Steam Deck,
Legion Go, ROG Ally, AYN Odin), plus a set of fixes for running Eden in Steam's Game Mode
(gamescope) and under Steam Input.
## Controller Assignment Handler
Settings > Controls gains a **Controllers** tab. The handler is a segmented choice:
| Handler | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| **Modern Console** | Automatic: each controller that connects becomes the next player (up to 8). |
| **Manual** (default) | Players are set in each player's tab, as before. Its Controller Applet choice: **Disabled**, **Custom Frontend** or **Real Hardware** (the console's own applet, LLE). |
Under Modern Console, **Portable Handheld Gaming Device with Built-in Controller** (on/off)
makes external controllers take the players first, with the handheld's own controls used only
when none is connected.
In the automatic modes:
- Players follow their controllers across reconnects: a controller that leaves keeps its player
for 45 seconds and takes it back when it returns. Each controller keeps its own mappings when
it changes player, for the session.
- At most eight players; a ninth controller waits until a player is free.
- The user's saved controller setup is never rewritten; remaps made in the Controls tab last for
the session, and input profiles are what persist.
- Input profiles can be picked or removed per player, from the Controllers tab or each player tab.
- A controller whose player has no controller mappings (a fresh setup) gets its default mapping.
A DSU (cemuhook) motion binding from the manual setup is kept, for handhelds whose own gyro
needs it.
## Gameplay options
- **Pause When a Controller Disconnects** (on by default): the game pauses when a player's
controller is turned off, or has been gone for 3 seconds, and resumes when a controller takes
that player again. Pressing + on another controller goes on without it.
- **Use Any Controller as Joy-Cons**: a game that only takes Joy-Cons gets them automatically
(dual, or a single sideways one with the buttons arranged to fit).
- **Button Layout**: By Position or By Label, for Xbox and PlayStation style controllers.
- **Player Lights**: controllers that have them show their player number.
## Controllers tab and player tabs
- Connected Players: each player with its controller and battery, profile picker, Swap, Config,
Turn Off (Bluetooth), reorder arrows, drag to swap, and click to rumble. Controllers can be
given a name for the session.
- Assign Handheld Controller: auto-detect, or pick/Identify the handheld's own pad.
- P1-P8 tabs show each player's battery and can be dragged or moved with arrows to change the
player order.
- In Modern Console the Controllers and player tabs use a modern card layout that follows the
light and dark themes, including the system's dark mode (macOS).
## On-screen display
- **Controller Overlay** (View menu, Ctrl+Shift+V): players, their controllers and batteries,
and each player's recent buttons, including stick moves (LS/RS) and clicks (L3/R3). How many
inputs are kept and for how long can be set.
- **Controller Hints**: names a controller in the bottom-left corner when it joins or leaves
a player, and says when the game pauses for a disconnected one. Works without the overlay.
Both are drawn into the presented frame as crisp overlay panels (not scaled with the game, not
in screenshots), so they show inside gamescope.
## Steam Input and gamescope fixes
- **Native gyro under Steam Input.** Steam's virtual pads carry no motion sensors. Eden now opens
the real motion-capable controller behind each virtual pad for its sensors only (Steam Deck,
Steam Controller incl. the 2026 model, Sony, Nintendo), and turns on the Deck's IMU, which
Steam keeps off unless the layout uses the gyro. No DSU server or Steam layout change needed.
- **Bypass Steam Input** (Controllers tab, shown when launched through Steam): Eden opens the
real controllers itself instead of Steam's virtual pads.
- **Controller identity under Steam.** All virtual pads share one GUID and Steam moves physical
controllers between them; controllers are tracked by their Steam handle and slot instead.
- **Handheld detection under Steam.** The Deck's own controls are recognised behind Steam Input
without mistaking standalone controllers (e.g. the Steam Controller) for them.
- **Windows no longer rescale on hover in Game Mode.** gamescope scales a window to fit the
screen together with any tooltip reaching past it, so the main window and Settings grew and
shrank on hover. Under gamescope they now fill the screen.
- **VSync modes in Game Mode.** gamescope offers only some present modes, so Immediate and FIFO
Relaxed vanished silently. They are now listed greyed out with a tooltip pointing to Steam's
Disable Frame Limit and Allow Tearing settings.
- **Stick range testers on small screens.** The controller drawing scales down to fit on
800-pixel screens instead of cutting off the stick range circles.
- **Midnight Blue themes.** A hovered menu-bar item is readable again, and hovered tabs no longer
change size (which made the Settings tabs shake).
## Fixes
- Crash when HID received a controller update before NPad's applet resource was set up.
## Testing
Tested on a Steam Deck (Desktop and Game Mode, direct and Steam launches) with Xbox
controllers, plus a stress test with up to 10 virtual controllers connecting, disconnecting and
pressing at random in both automatic modes (no assignment errors, never more than 8 players,
disconnect pauses resume as expected).

moves the game list model/worker/private stuff to qt_common for later
use in QML
- `qt_common/game_list/model.{cpp,h}` is the model
- `yuzu/game/game_{grid,tree}.*` are the views
- `yuzu/game/game_list.cpp` is the presenter
This was done very lazily in a manner that "works" while largely
maintaining existing structure as much as possible. Most of it is
copy-paste, with some bonus reworks/cleanups thrown in.

Some games need specific applets to work.
For example for local multiplayer to function the Controller Applet must be set as:
- MK8D -> Custom Applet
- Absolum -> Real Applet
Web/Offline Applet: Assasin Creed and some bundled games might need real applet.
Overlay Toggle added for Horizon's ingame menu.
Thanks PavelBARABANOV for the help with the PR.

This is part of a series of PRs made in preparation for the QML rewrite. this PR specifically moves a bunch of utility functions from main.cpp into qt_common, with the biggest benefit being that QML can reuse the exact same code through ctx passthrough.
Also, QtCommon::Frontend is an abstraction layer over several previously Widgets-specific stuff like QMessageBox that gets used everywhere. The idea is that once QML is implemented, these functions can have a Quick version implemented for systems that don't work well with Widgets (sun) or for those on Plasma 6+ (reduces memory usage w/o Widgets linkage) although Quick from C++ is actually anal, but whatever.
Other than that this should also just kinda reduce the size of main.cpp which is a 6000-line behemoth rn, and clangd straight up gives up with it for me (likely caused by the massive amount of headers, which this DOES reduce).
In the future, I probably want to create a common strings lookup table that both Qt and QML can reference--though I'm not sure how much linguist likes that--which should give us a way to keep language consistent (use frozen-map).

Replaces every way of handling config for each frontend with SimpleIni. frontend_common's Config class is at the center where it saves and loads all of the cross-platform settings and provides a set of pure virtual functions for platform specific settings.
As a result of making config handling platform specific, several parts had to be moved to each platform's own config class or to other parts. Default keys were put in platform specific config classes and translatable strings for Qt were moved to shared_translation. Default hotkeys, default_theme, window geometry, and qt metatypes were moved to uisettings. Additionally, to reduce dependence on Qt, QStrings were converted to std::strings where applicable.

We can iterate through the AdvancedGraphics settings and generate the UI
during runtime. This doesn't help runtime efficiency, but it helps a ton
in reducing the amount of work a developer needs in order to add a new
setting.
Loading it when the configuration opens now incurs a noticeable delay.
We also don't need to rediscover the same data repeatedly each time the

Moves vulkan device info discovery to yuzu's startup as opposed to the

Changes tab initialization to happen after the configuration is loaded,
which means that it no longer happens as member initializers in the

Fixes a regression in #6774
Causes a heap-use-after free reported by AddressSanitizer. This makes
use of std::filesystem::path, but due to that we have to use their
string() function which may not work for all characters.
Currently with programs that have a 0 title id, yuzu loads the custom
configuration 0000000000000000.ini for per-game configs. This is not
ideal since many homebrews share this id. Instead for these programs, we
load a config that is simply the file name and `.ini` appended to it.
