MOD DESCRIPTION
Release v1.0.0 of the Jedi Civil War addon for Star Wars Battlefront II on PSP. Adds two new sides, the Sith Empire and Old Republic, along with 10 new heroes, all playable across Conquest, Hunt or Hero Assault on 10 new maps and 10 stock maps.
Requires BAD-AL's Alt-Addon System.
The mod focuses on two major factions:
- The Old Republic
- The Sith Empire
Additionally, a couple minor factions will be present on a select few maps and modes. These include the following:
- Mandalorian Raiders
- Rakghouls
- Czerka Corporation
- Kinrath
Available/supported maps in the first release include:
- All stock maps in the original PSP version of the game
- Dantooine: Khoonda (GTTeancum)
- Telos: Citadel Station (GTTeancum)
- Korriban: Ruins (GTTeancum and Gogie)
- Malachor: Ruins (PRichard)
- Haruun Kal: Jungle (GTTeancum)
- Kejim: Imperial Labs (TK432)
- Gizer: Chain Isle (psych0fred)
- Hyperion: Tunnels (Snake and Unit33)
- Lok: Stronghold (bk2modder)
- Svolten: Temple (Bear Force II Team and bk2modder)
Not everything in a release will always be what I want it to be or what it should be. There will be bugs, imperfections, and components in need of improvement or tweaking. However, this is a mod developed for free distribution, and the majority of these bugs will be minor, so that's okay.
FAQ:
- Question: Is this also for PC?
- Answer: Nope, and no plans for it to be. This was developed exclusively with PSP in mind.
- Question: Why aren't the maps showing up?
- Answer: You installed the addon improperly, most likely you didn't install BAD-AL's addon system. Without it, the PSP version of the game will not pick up any mods. Please read the installation guide again.
- Question: I can't install the Alt-Addon system on Android/Linux/Mac, help!
- Answer: Unfortunately, the tools necessary for the Alt-Addon system to work require a Windows PC, at least for first time setup. You will need to access one yourself or get a friend to help you, sorry.
- Question: The mod seems to have installed, but other maps aren't showing up/text isn't showing up right?
- Answer: You probably installed the addon on a modded ISO of a non-USA version of PSP Battlefront 2. Unfortunately, I can't control compatibility with other versions. If you are wanting to install over AnthonyBF2's mod, you may have to wait until it supports the current version of the Alt-Addon system.
- Question: Why is [insert hero] not in the mod?
- Answer: The PSP is incredibly limited in terms of memory, so this is pretty much the limit of heroes that could be loaded at once in hero assault for JCW. I could have included more as conquest only or broken up hero assault, but I didn't want to do that as it felt inconsistent. Additionally, the heroes chosen were those whose geometry/textures reduced best to fit within the PSP constraints.
- Question: Can you add [insert hero] into the mod?
- Answer: Maybe, probably won't though.
- Question: Can you add [insert map] into the mod?
- Answer: Maybe, probably won't though. Would require other folks permissions and a lot of work.
Future Plans
Should I have the time to return to this in the future, I have many wishes for the development of the mod:
- bugfixes
- tweaks
- New Custom Maps
However, none of this is set in stone and is always subject to change.
I hope that this mod inspires others to utilize BAD-AL's Addon system to create more additional content for the PSP version of the game!
Credits
Detailed credits for each mod release will be available in a text document adjacent and separate from the readme within the archive containing the mod.
With that said, a huge shoutout goes to Pandemic Studios, Savage Entertainment and GameToast for making all this possible. The community has been nothing short of amazing, and the original devs created such a great game.
A huge shoutout also goes to BAD-AL; his Alt-Addon system makes this entire mod possible. Battlefront Console modders like AnthonyBF2, [GT]Teancum, and iamashaymin also paved the way with their previous work and documentation.

The first version of the Jedi Civil War addon for PSP Battlefront 2 is releasing! Requires BAD-AL's Addon System and a US version of PSP SWBF2 (legally dumped, of course). Hopefully this inspires more people to make content for the Alternate Addon System on PSP.
Battlefront: The Jedi Civil War PSP Addon
Release: R v1.0.2
DISCLAIMER:
This mod was developed for free and is intended for free distribution. Pirated copies of Battlefront II are not supported, and this mod is not to be distributed commercially.
Installation:
0a. Read the FAQ on the Mod Description Page
0b. If not using the XDelta Patch, Make sure your Battlefront II ISO, be it vanilla or AnthonyBF2's PSP mod, is patched with BAD-AL's Alt-Addon System which can be found here: Github.com
0c. If using the XDelta Patch, have a clean Star Wars - Battlefront II (PSP) (USA) v1.01 ULUS-10053 ISO prepared. Then, follow the download and instructions here
1. Download the Mod here. You will get a file called swbf2_PSP_JCW_release1.0.0.7z
2. You will need either 7-zip or another tool capable of extracting 7z files to open the archive.
After opening, you will see one folder labeled '005' as well as the readme.txt. Read the readme.
3. You will also need 7-zip or some other tool to extract your ISO. If you installed the Alt-Addon System, this should already be done.
4. Drag and drop '005' into your alt addon folder (\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\data\_lvl_psp\addon\).
5. Run click_to_merge.bat in your addon folder (\PSP_GAME\USRDIR\data\_lvl_psp\addon\).
6. OPTIONAL: Re-compile your ISO using a tool of your choice and load it into emulator or hardware of choice. If using PPSSPP, this is unnecessary, as PPSSPP can read the game in its extracted state.
7. Start up the game and get to the battlefield!
If you had any issues with this installation, please read thoroughly again or look at the installation video below:

hi bro, firstly your mod is sooo cool, playing with the KOTOR characters is really cool! But I saw that the remastered version is compatible with this mod, but when I installed it, the other maps from the remastered version disappeared and only the Jedi Civil War maps were left, is there any way to have them both together or do they only work separately?
Hi, thanks for the comment, unfortunately Anthony's V8 mod is not currently fully-compatible. There was someone working on making it work properly, but don't know what happened to that. Even so, the maps shouldn't disappear if it was installed properly (the xdelta patch does not work for installing on V8)
Estaría genial poder incluirle un como campaña con cinemáticas extraídas de juegos de kotor y así poder jugar la historia en el sistema Battlefront.
It would be interesting, for sure! Unfortunately we do not have compilers for the PSP movie or audio formats that SWBF2 uses, so this is currently not doable.
Glad to see another fellow modder making content for the PSP!
Great mod, very fun to play. A little 'laggy' sometimes on some maps, but a restart of the firmware usually fixes it. Hope to see more mods for the PSP version in the future :-D 8/10

I'm using ppsspp on android, and I can't run the files like initalsetupbat. What should I do
As the installation guide for the Alt-Addon System (on GitHub) stated, to run the .bat files for the Alt-Addon system you need a Windows PC of some kind.
Will this be available on PC for Steam in the future?
FAQ #1
Unfortunately that would require updating a lot of permissions from resource authors who ok'd use on the PSP but not the PC, and it would also require uprezzing the mod to PC standards. There are no plans right now to bring this to PC.
