Description

Hi, I thought I probably should still make this into an "official" issue, so it can be tracked or even maybe fixed.

When using ChimeraOS it seems that every Emulator I tried so far is working, except for PS2 emulation. When I try to launch any uploaded PS2 game from inside Steam it just shuts down right away. It does work in Desktop mode though. I tried two different cores, Play! and PCSX2 but both had the same launch issue, but worked (PCSX2 better than Play! though) via Desktop. Maybe there is some issue with the configuration for PS2 emulation? Has anybody else experienced this issue? I even went as far as "coding" my own ps2 shortcut for the pcsx2 core (again, works on desktop via the command "pcsx2") but that as well does not work when I try to start the game from steam in the Gaming Mode.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Reproduce launching an uploaded PS2 game from Steam Gaming Mode with Play! and PCSX2, then compare the behavior with Desktop mode and the reported `pcsx2` command; done means PS2 games launch successfully from Steam.
