  • 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

  • Upstream developers have indicated they do not wish to be disturbed about downstream packaging issues.

    • Test the AppImage directly before reporting any bugs upstream. Properly confirmed bugs should have no need to mention downstream packaging.
    • 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.

@xiota the one I use is "aurto", which uses the VCS suffix to check less often for package updates. Other AUR helpers might work differently, though.

@flavionm I agree this package isn't like other -bin packages, but -git doesn't really fit. I don't use AUR helpers. Do you have a reference to documentation describing how AUR helpers work so I can see what options are available?

Could you consider adding a -git suffix to the package name, making it "pcsx2-bin-git"? Since it doesn't follow a regular release schedule and is in fact downloading builds generated from the current version control state, the new name would help to make that clear and would also help with AUR helpers.

Chmod fail because it thinks it downloaded the latest 1.7.4534, but it actually downloaded 1.7.4529.

Well it refused to build until now so you must've done something to fix it. Thanks anyway.
