PS5SX2

PS5SX2 2.10 (build vk-285-171)

New

• PS2 discs on the PS5 home screen. Put a PS2 DVD in the console's drive while you are on the home screen: a tile with the game's name and cover shows up in about 6 seconds, and the PS5's own "Unsupported Disc" tile is hidden. Press ✕ on it and the game starts straight from the disc (or from its copy in games/, if you made one): no shelf, no question. Take the disc out and the tile goes away.
• A "Reload PS2 Disc" tile. If a disc's tile does not come, does not start, or the "Unsupported Disc" tile stays: press this tile once. It cleans up after the last game, has ShadowMount+ look again and makes the disc's tile again. A pop-up says "PS2 disc reloaded." a few seconds later.
• A question on the shelf. With PS5SX2 open, a PS2 disc that is not copied yet asks Play from disc or Copy to storage (Left / Right choose, ✕ confirms, ○ is "not now"). Play from disc starts at once and reads the disc as you play, like a real PS2, so the disc has to stay in. Copy to storage copies it first (several minutes) and plays from the copy: faster loading, and the disc can come out. A disc that games/ already holds starts from its copy with no question. So you can still dump a disc through the shelf, and once it is dumped, starting its game from the tile runs the dump instead of the disc.

Changed

• A PS2 disc put in on the home screen no longer starts PS5SX2 by itself: press its tile.
• The empty file nodiscask in /data/PCSX2/flags/ brings the 2.03 behaviour back: no question on the shelf, and a disc put in on the home screen is copied and started by itself. Use it if you don't use ShadowMount+, because the tiles need it.
