A simple CLI tool to search, download, and extract PlayStation 2 ISOs from the Redump database.

• Fast, minimal, and cross-platform
• Rust port inspired by the original Python tool by juanpomares (link)

1. Install Rust: https://rustup.rs/
2. Clone and build:

   git clone https://github.com/leji-a/ps2-redump-downloader.git
   cd ps2-redump-downloader
   cargo build --release

3. Run:

   ./target/release/ps2-redump-downloader

Install globally for easy access from anywhere:

cargo install --path .
ps2-redump-downloader

[url]
ISO = https://myrient.erista.me/files/Redump/Sony%20-%20PlayStation%202/

[Download]
# Downloaded Game list fileName 
LIST_FILES_JSON_NAME = listPS2Titles.json 

# Download ISO file using navigator
EXTERNAL_ISO = 0 

MAX_RETRIES = 10
DELAY_BETWEEN_RETRIES = 10
TIMEOUT_REQUEST = 600

[folder]
TMP_FOLDER_NAME = ~/PS2-Games
TMP_ISO_FOLDER_NAME = iso_files

You can leave 'TMP_ISO_FOLDER_NAME' empty in case you want the isos in 'TMP_FOLDER_NAME'

The application looks for config.ini in these locations (in order):

• Current directory: Where you run the binary or cargo run (recommended for development)
• Linux/macOS:
  • ~/.config/ps2-redump-downloader/config.ini
  • /etc/ps2-redump-downloader/config.ini
• Windows:
  • %APPDATA%\ps2-redump-downloader\config.ini
  • C:\ProgramData\ps2-redump-downloader\config.ini

$ ps2-redump-downloader
Find PS2 title to download: grand theft auto 
1. Grand Theft Auto - San Andreas (Europe)
Enter PS2 title number: 1
Downloading... [progress]
Extracting... [progress]
Done!

By default, downloaded ISOs are saved to:

• ~/PS2-Games/iso_files/ (Linux/macOS)
• C:\Users\YourName\PS2-Games\iso_files\ (Windows)

You can change this in the [folder] section of config.ini.

• Download timeout: Set with TIMEOUT_REQUEST (seconds) in config.ini (default: 600 = 10 minutes)
• Retries: Set MAX_RETRIES and DELAY_BETWEEN_RETRIES for failed downloads
• EXTERNAL_ISO: Set to 1 to use your browser for downloads instead of the built-in downloader
• Game list cache: The game list is cached as listPS2Titles.json in your chosen folder
