Autoboot PS2 discs into PCSX2, primarily used on the Steam Deck

this readme is far from done btw!!!

As seen on reddit!!!

Automatically boot into PS2 disks using PCSX2!!

Made with the power of sheer anger. Sponsored (this is a joke) by CEX in Zaandam, NL.

Installation

• TODO: does deck come with python3?
• TODO: it definitely doesnt come with pyudev for sure
• Install pcsx2 from pacman (NOT FLATPAK!!!)
  • preferrably, set up rwfus beforehand instead of disabling the read-only mode.
• Clone the repo to ~/autops2
• TODO: add pcsx2 to steam
• TODO: get pcsx2 non-steam gameid
• TODO: edit script to the id

Quick/temporary method:

This method will not persist after system reboot or after you close your terminal

• Open your terminal of choice
• Navigate to ~/autops2, probably by just doing cd ~/autops2
• Run python3 autops2.py
  • or run nohup python3 autops2.py so you can close the terminal without worrying, might not persist going from desktop to gamemode though

Service method:

This method makes the autops2 script run on startup (and easily restart it)

i think install.sh does this for you but just in case:

• Copy the autops2 service file to systemd stuff

cp autops2.service /home/deck/.config/systemd/user/autops2.service

• Reload the units

systemctl --user daemon-reload

• Start the service

systemctl --user start autops2
