@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?

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for psx [2]:
Dead foreign-built binary PSX emulator from 2007; source code unavailable as this was closed source. PKGBUILD does not install the needed license (which seems to be unknown/undeclared by author).
Upstream website gone.
Some AUR dependencies are unbuildable with current libtool.
Not worth keeping. There are many working alternatives nowadays that are maintained. Most of them are also open-source.

The license is correctly listed as 'unknown' and no license file is included in the upstream archive, not an issue.
I have all the depends build with devtools recently, I'll check if need to send a patch for something.
The program still run.
