+Insert your PS2 game disc and run:

+~~~sh
+sudo lsblk

+
+Look for your optical drive in the list. It's usually labeled something like `/dev/sr0` or `/dev/cdrom`. Once you've identified it, use the `dd` command to create an ISO image from that disc:
+
+~~~sh
+sudo dd if=/dev/sr0 of=~/ps2game.iso bs=2048 status=progress

+### macOS Instructions
+
+Insert a blank DVD-R into your disc drive and mount it. Then right click on your patched `ISO` file and run "Burn Disk Image <filename> to Disc...".
 
 From here, you want to make sure you select the slowest write speed and enable verification. Once the file is written to the disc and verified (verification might fail - it is safe to ignore) you can remove the disc from the drive.
 
+### Linux (Alpine) Instructions
+
+For Linux, you will need to install `cdrkit`, which provides the `genisoimage` and `wodim` tools for burning ISOs to DVDs.
+
+~~~sh
+sudo apk add cdrkit
+~~~
+
+Next, you'll need to identify your DVD writer device. Use the following command:
+
+~~~sh
+wodim -scanbus
+~~~
+
+This will list the available devices. Typically, the device will be something like `/dev/sr0`.
+
+Now that you have your ISO and the device name, burn the ISO to the DVD:
+
+~~~sh
+wodim dev=/dev/sr0 speed=4 -v -data /path/to/your/ps2game.iso
+~~~
+
+Take note of the `speed=4` here. This lower speed helps avoid any issues when specifically burning PS2 game files.
+
+(Optional) If you want to verify that the burn was successful, you can use the following command:
+
+~~~sh
+md5sum /dev/sr0
+~~~
+
+That's it!

 ## Before Playing the Game
 
-Make sure you change the PS2 disc speed from **Standard** to **Fast** in the main "Browser" setting before you put the game into your console. After that, enjoy playing your cloned PS2 game!
