Auto Update

[DanielSvoboda]

Update the emulator directly from the application.

In the settings menu, you can enable the "Check for Updates at Startup" option and choose the download channel:

• Stable: stable versions released approximately once a month (These versions are more reliable and tested)
• Unstable: pre-releases with updates almost daily (These may contain bugs and are less stable)

*not tested on macOS

Images:

You can see the changelog by clicking the button. It is not available if you are using an unstable version and try to update to stable, as there will be no changelog for older versions.

The 'About' tab is now called 'Help' and you can also check for updates using this button.

Yiga also contributed the icon for the download and dump:

Settings: You can enable the "Check for Updates at Startup" option and choose the download channel Stable, Unstable

The translation files "tr_TR.ts" and "ar.ts" were also fixed.
It was inspired by the operation of rpcs3, none of its code was used, but I mention it in recognition.

Technical information- Create autoUpdate in your fork

For the pre-release to work on a fork, you need to create a token, and change some links, here is the step by step:

https://github.com/settings/tokens/new
Note: SHADPS4_TOKEN_REPO
Expiration: No expiration
Select scopes: repo
Create and copy the code (it will only appear once, so it is a good idea to put it in a notepad until you use it)
[do not send it to anyone]

the link below change 'shadPS4-emu' to your user
https://github.com/shadPS4-emu/shadPS4/settings/secrets/actions
New repository secret
name: SHADPS4_TOKEN_REPO
Secret: paste the code you copied in the previous step

and update the 3 links in check_update.cpp to your repository
change repository name in build.yml
body: "Full Changelog: ... https://github.com/shadps4-emu/shadPS4/compare ...
You may also need to change the branch name in:
if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && github.event_name == 'push'

on:
  push:
    branches: [ "main" ]
