Useful things we could display on the "bluescreen"

[hrydgard]

When a game crashes, PPSSPP now displays a "bluescreen" with some crash information.

We could make better use of it and display more information, so here's an issue to collect ideas for that.

• Whether cheats are enabled or not, and maybe the names of the first few active ones
• How many seconds the emulation has been running
• Whether a savestate was loaded
• The PSP model selected
• GL/Vulkan driver version
• etc...

I wonder if we want a sequence of letters or abbreviations to fit all this info on the screen within a screenshot, or if we can just fit it all.

Things already sent / considered for reporting, some which might not be relevant here (not all of these are saved by reporting):

• Platform
• Disc version (some games have multiple)
• Disc CRC
• CPU identifier (not always much quality here) or Android board
• GPU (probably not useful for a bluescreen...)
• Game SCE SDK version
• Recent averaged FPS / VPS
• Locked CPU speed
• Jit disable flags / jr ra hack / func/hook replacements
• Whether assets/fonts exist

Other things of possible interest:

• Memory size (i.e. remaster, hombrew, etc.)
• If plugins are enabled, which
• Total memory allocated / free
• Number of threads/modules, maybe even loaded module names
• Free storage space for ms0:/ (i.e. is disk full)
• Whether save data exists and how many bytes / how many save files
• Mount type (PBP / ISO / virtual disc)
• Base address and displacement of memory op, attempted write value
• Jit stats: number of invalidated blocks / valid blocks / available codespace
• Rounding mode
• Has this jit block run without crash previously?

Not sure all those are that useful, but just throwing out ideas.

Good list.

Mobile devices are quite high resolution nowadays, we could just use very tiny text to fit a lot of this...
