ShadPS4 Version 0.12.5

ShadPS4 v0.12.5 has been released, an early PS4 emulator for Windows and Linux, developed in C++. This update addresses issues from the previous version (0.12.0), where an input change rendered several games unplayable. Key fixes include correcting a divide-by-zero error, reverting the problematic controller change, and ensuring game arguments are correctly passed. New features involve improvements in the USB backend system and initial implementations for font libraries. The update also streamlines GPU functions and removes Qt from the emulator, opting for launchers instead. For more details, the source code is available for download.

You might wonder, “why such an early release?” In the past, updates occurred every 2-3 months, but the previous 0.12.0 update introduced an input issue that rendered many games unplayable. Hence, we needed to address this quickly. Additionally, there are some other exciting features and bug fixes included, so enjoy! 😉
