Emulation (console) - Gametoast/Documentation GitHub Wiki

Emulation

The console versions of Star Wars Battlefront 2 have been confirmed to work well on the following emulators (so long as your PC/android device is decent):

  1. PPSSPP
  2. PCSX2
  3. xemu

Extracting original game from ISO

We can use Windows 10 to extract the game contents (PSP & PS2).

  1. Right click on game ISO, select 'Mount'
  2. Once mounted, drag and drop the contents of the mounted iso to a folder called 'StarWarsBattlefront2' ( or 'StarWarsBattlefront' if you're targeting SWBF1 [2004])

Building an image to use in emulation

When modding, we'll end up modifying the game files under _LVL_XBOX,_LVL_PSP, or _LVL_PS2 (unless you are doing an XBOX DLC mod). And if we want to play the game with these changes, we'll (usually) need to build an image for the emulator to play.

xemu

When using xemu, it is necessary to use 'XDVDMulleter' (or extract-xiso ) to create a playable ISO in the emulator.

XDVDMulleter

There are several options when using the XDVDMulleter program. The following steps have been confirmed to work for creating a playable ISO for the emulator.

  1. Click Build/Rebuild an ISO
  2. Select 'Local Folder', input folder path
  3. Create Standard XBOX 1 ISO (no XBE checks)
  4. Optimise for Disk size (DVD5), select 'Qwix Style Opt'
  5. Make ISO

extract-xiso

It's actually easier to use extract-xiso. Download the program and use the command line command (or create a .bat file with):

  • Extract ISO: extract-xiso.exe -x StarwarsBattlefront2.iso
  • Create ISO: extract-xiso.exe -c <FolderName>

PCSX2

An ISO program such as 'ImgBurn' can be used to make an ISO file playable on the emulator.

  1. Open ImgBurn, select 'Create image file from files/folders'
  2. Drag & drop the contents of the 'StarrWarsBattlefront2' PS2 game folder onto the 'Source' list box.
  3. Fill in destination
  4. Select 'Build'

PPSSPP

PPSSPP is awesome enough to be able to play SWBF2 if you simply drag and drop the 'StarWarsBattlefront2' Game folder into PPSSPP. You can also use a program called 'UMDGen' to create an .iso or .cso file for use with PPSSPP (you'll need an .iso to play on real [modded] PSP hardware).

  1. Open UMDGen
  2. Drag in your game's 'PSP_GAME' folder & 'UMD_DATA.BIN' into the right side of UMDGen's explorer window.
  3. Select 'Save' (use .iso format)
  4. Choose a filename, click 'Save' again on the Save file dialog.
