I'd like to use the PlayStation media player (the one with SoundScope) on a modern operating system (GNU/Linux) instead of the default player.
Is it possible?

Yes, check soundscope-player
(source, AUR
).
It's a Python program that creates audio CDR (.bin
+ .cue
) images on the fly (using mkaudiocdrimg
, a little python wrapper for shntool
I also wrote) from input files and feeds them to duckstation
.
It uses GtkFileChooserDialog
for handling opening a media source when launching the program from the overview.
Unless through AUR, you need to provide a PlayStation bios manually to run the application correctly.
It can be easily built on Windows using msys2
+mingw
, since the AUR recipe is easily adapted.
