PS2 Samba Setup for Arch Linux

This script sets up a Samba share specifically configured for use with PlayStation 2 (PS2) SMB loaders like OPL, on an Arch Linux system.

Features

• Installs Samba if not already present
• Creates a system user PS2 for share access
• Creates the share directory: /home/<your-username>/PS2SMB
• Grants full ACL permissions on the share to PS2
• Configures Samba with legacy-compatible protocols (LANMAN1, NT1)
• Enables and starts the Samba service (smb)

Quick One-Liner Install

You can run the entire setup with a single command:

curl -s https://git.weexnes.dev/WeeXnes/ps2_samba_arch/raw/branch/master/ps2_samba.sh | sudo bash

Manual Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://git.weexnes.dev/WeeXnes/ps2_samba_arch.git
   cd ps2_samba_arch
   

2. Make the script executable:

   chmod +x ps2_samba.sh
   

3. Run it with root privileges:

   sudo ./ps2_samba.sh
   

After Setup

• Your PS2SMB share will be located at /home/<your-username>/PS2SMB
• You can now point your PS2 SMB client (like OPL) to your Arch machine using:
  • Share Name: PS2SMB
  • User: PS2
  • No password required (guest access enabled)
