0.58.0 is out 🎉

As one of the few nerdy kids in a small sleepy town in a country where arcade gaming was classified as gambling i could see lightgun games in magazines only. I had an NES and Captain N with his Zapper was sooo awesome to me. But when the time came that i could buy one with my own money the rise of flat panels began and with it the death of CRT TVs and Lightguns altogether. It was just a thing of the past, sadly.
But surprisingly the genre came back with the Wii and PS3 and there Pointer devices. Some years later camera based Lightguns came to the market and finally Lightgun gaming with the same and even higher precision is possible on flat panels.
Last year i fulfilled my childhood dream and brought a Retro Shooter Reaper. It was expensive but it was worth it. Playing Time Crisis or House of the Dead 3 with a proper Lightgun is a game changer. Enough with the introduction, emuze now has basic Lightgun support for PlayStation and PlayStation 3. As always my goal is to make the experience as plug and play as possible, but my testing is limited. This is just the beginning and i will expand the support with future updates. For more information please have a look into the documentation.

Furthermore i squashed a lot of Bugs and did several smaller things like a UI scaling for higher resolutions. Tiny game tiles and controls are a thing of the past now 🙂

Besides this i bundled and pre configured Cemu, Rosalie's Mupen GUI and MAME.
Thanks to @Samueru-sama who created an AppImage for Rosalie's Mupen GUI.
34 of the 35 supported systems are pre configured and 33 of them are bundled now 🥳
For the next release i plan to bundle the last remaining Emulators ScummVM and DOSBox.

Please let me know what you think of it in the emuze discord.
