📄 Description

Syntax: shadps4 <options> <game> -- <game arg 1> <game arg 2> ...
Works for both SDL and Qt versions, but there's no GUI for it.
You can pass up to 32 arguments to a game (untested)
Tested with Knack 2 (needs only one argument): ./build/shadps4 CUSA08014 -- "-w=10 -cursoroff -region=a -2160p"
