Hello everyone! 👋
The latest release of Hades (v1.1.0) went out smoothly overall, but a rather significant issue slipped through and required a quick patch release to address it 😬.
On the bright side, I also took the opportunity to include a few quality-of-life improvements related to gamepad support.
⚙️ Changes #
Below is a short summary of what’s included in this new release:
- Fixed an issue where gamepad bindings were not properly saved to the configuration file.
- Added support and official builds for Windows ARM64 (thanks to @tordona 🙌)
- Introduced a new shortcut to quickly focus the menu bar.
- Improved gamepad support to make navigating the UI with only a gamepad smoother and more intuitive.
🎮 Steam Deck #
Many of these gamepad-related improvements came from testing Hades on the Steam Deck, and I’m happy to share that the emulator runs smoothly and feels great to use on the device 😁.
