PKGBUILD review: pcsx2

This is my first pack and it's for personal use.

My question is what dependencies should be added?. All dependencies in the list are what namcap shows except qt6-svg. Im not sure whether to add all the dependencies that namcap shows or exclude some like:

• curl

• dbus

• gcc-libs

• glibc

• hicolor-icon-theme

• systemd-libs

• xz

• zlib

Re: PKGBUILD review: pcsx2

This would at least need a -bin suffix on pkgname.  Why are you using the appimage for this rather than building it from source?

The dependencies look fine.  You could technically remove glibc, gcc-libs, xz, systemd-libs, and zlib as they are covered by the base package, but it does not hurt to be explicit here.

The processor temperature gets too high when compiling pcsx2 and other packages and I decided to use the binaries as the first option and the compilation as the second option.

Re: PKGBUILD review: pcsx2

Something to consider is you can reduce the amount of threads used by the compiler.
The drawback is that it takes longer.
