      Searching around this was the only topic i could find talking about launching pcsx2 from emulation station without crashing, However I did not want to fallback to X11 desktop.

      Re: Ps2 roms work on standalone pcsx2 from desktop but crash when run from ES

      I was able to figure out how to launch PCSX2 under wayland without needing to fallback to X11

      edit with your favorite editor.
      /opt/retropie/configs/ps2/emulators.conf

      So it looks like this.

      pcsx2 = "GDK_BACKEND=x11 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 mesa_glthread=true MESA_NO_ERROR=1 /usr/games/PCSX2 --windowed %ROM%"
pcsx2-nogui = "GDK_BACKEND=x11 __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 mesa_glthread=true MESA_NO_ERROR=1 /usr/games/PCSX2 --fullscreen --nogui %ROM%"
default = "pcsx2-nogui"

      This will allow PCSX2 to launch via wayland window manager without the need to fall back to the X11 desktop enviroment
