Core::Shutdown was only called on app exit, yet the emu thread exits
whenever emulation stops; if you launched a new game it would just join
via the destructor when s_emu_thread was set to a new thread.
(Incidentally, the destructor also makes explicitly joining on app exit
rather pointless.)
Because the GUI thread wasn't waiting for the CPU thread to fully shut
down, Core::IsRunning would remain true briefly after CFrame::DoStop
which, given Dolphin's penchant for accessing variables belonging to
other threads, can only mean trouble... In my case, because the previous
commit caused UpdateGUI, which is called at the end of DoStop, to call
PauseAndLock, which checks IsRunning, pressing stop at the right time
would cause strange behavior.
The UI should decide on where it wants the user directory, not our core system.
This is in anticipation of some upcoming work on Android which will need proper user directory setting.
My recent update to that check broke compilation on 10.9:
https://code.google.com/p/dolphin-emu/issues/detail?id=7900
However, on further review, the check isn't actually necessary. If the
OS X version is older than LSMinimumSystemVersion in Info.plist, the
system will generally refuse to run the binary in the first place. You
can try to launch it via a terminal, but at that point it's the user's
problem if it crashes.
