@FabioLolix, all your points are true. However, is this closed-source discontinued bin32 emulator really needed?
Even the closed-source EPSXE is much newer (2016). And then there is pcsxr (2020) and its continuation fork, pcsx-redux (2023), both open-source. Btw the pkgname for this is wrong: should have been bin32-psx. But I don't think this PKGBUILD hits the bar on being actually useful and needed by "more than a few people", to quote the AUR submission guidelines. What's your take on these observations?
