Compiling

This will explain how to compile Cheat Device on Linux without using Docker. This was tested under Fedora 25 x86_64 but should work with other distros, including WSL.

1. Install necessary tools for building the toolchain. Some of these are probably installed already.

• gcc
• make
• autoconf
• automake
• patch
• wget

2. Install PS2SDK using ps2toolchain

git clone https://github.com/ps2dev/ps2toolchain.git ~/ps2toolchain
cd ~/ps2toolchain
sudo ./toolchain-sudo.sh

3. Add environment variables to ~/.bashrc

export PS2DEV=/usr/local/ps2dev
export PS2SDK=$PS2DEV/ps2sdk
export GSKIT=$PS2DEV/gsKit
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/ee/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/iop/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2DEV/dvp/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$PS2SDK/bin

4. Give all users write permission for ps2dev directory

sudo chmod g+w,o+w -R $PS2DEV

5. Install zlib

git clone git://github.com/ps2dev/ps2sdk-ports.git ~/ports
cd ~/ports/zlib
make install

6. Install gsKit

git clone git://github.com/ps2dev/gsKit ~/gsKit
cd ~/gsKit
./setup.sh

That last step will warn you about not having some image libraries available, but this can be ignored since Cheat Device doesn't need them.

7. Compile Cheat Device

git clone git://github.com/root670/CheatDevicePS2 ~/CheatDevicePS2
cd ~/CheatDevicePS2
make

Build Options

These can be passed in as arguments to make or the Docker build scripts.

Argument	Description
DTL_T10000=1	Create executable compatible with PS2 TOOL (DTL-T10000)
NO_MASS=1	Replace mass: device names with host: in the Save Manager. This helps with debugging the save manager in PCSX2.
