  • This is a self-updating package that automatically attempts to use the latest prerelease AppImage.

    • Do not flag or comment to request mere version bumps until a month has passed since the last update.

  • Problems:

    • Try building in a clean chroot. Shouldn't matter for this package, but worth trying.
    • Shutdown or uninstall appimagelauncher because it "intercepts all attempts to open an AppImage". Similar tools may have the same problem.
      • Restart binfmt: sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt
    • Report problems with this package here.
      • Avoid flagging and commenting at the same time for the same issue.
      • Flag for common issues with standard solutions (eg, depends updates).
      • Comment for issues that require explanation or debugging.
    • Before reporting upstream, confirm problems directly in the AppImage.

@cknoblauch Can also specify a specific version:

_pkgver=2.3.285 makepkg -srCf

It should work for some range of versions, depending on when upstream last made significant changes.

This package fetches the latest version from https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/releases.atom, which may contain releases that are still in the process of being built/published. If the package build tries to fetch a newer version than what's in https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/releases, chances are it's not been published yet; you should try again at a later time.

This package should provide a /usr/bin/pcsx2 link for compatibility with libretro-pcsx2-launcher (which only looks for pcsx2 in path or pcsx2 flatpak, in that order).

@Rikj000 Fixing problems with another program altering files is outside the scope of packaging.

After months of ignoring updates for pcsx2-latest-bin,
due to errors about "This doesn't look like a squashfs image.",
and @xiota not resolving the issue,
but instead recommending to uninstall appimagelauncher,
which I do not want to do for only this single AUR package having issues...

I've finally switched to pcsx2-git, which only took a minute or so to build,
and installed successfully on the first go!

@Alkaris Probably bad/incomplete download. Should work after clearing cache.

Getting the following error when updating;

This doesn't look like a squashfs image.
Failed to open squashfs image
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

@tegaidogun Thanks for reporting. I've added info you provided to the pinned comment.

This is currently failing as the latest version: pcsx2-v2.1.177-linux-appimage-x64-Qt.AppImage

==> Starting build()...

error: failed to build 'pcsx2-latest-bin-2.1.169-1':

Ignore this issue; I had uninstalled 'AppImage-Launcher' as it was affecting the install and forgot to restart Binfmt; for others facing the same issue, try this:

sudo systemctl restart systemd-binfmt
