Installation:

1. Make sure you have a clean dump of your SWBF2 PS2 copy of the game, preferably USA. Other editions of the game have not been tested. Only SLUS-212402.01 is officially supported.
2. Download the Mod. You will get a file called SWBF2_PS2_US_Unofficial_TU.zip
3. You will need either 7-zip or another tool capable of extracting zip files to open the archive.
   After opening, you will see this readme and several files/folders
4. You will also need 7-zip or some other tool to extract your ISO dump of the game if not already extracted
5. Drag and drop all files in the .zip into your game's root folder (e.g. \SLUS-212402.01\). This is where SWBFRNT2.ELF is. Overwrite any files it asks you to (WARNING: PLEASE MAINTAIN YOUR OWN BACKUP IF YOU CARE, OR UTILIZE THE BACKUP FILES THIS MOD INCLUDES)
6. Re-compile your ISO using a tool of your choice and load it into emulator or hardware of choice.

If you had any issues with this installation, please read thoroughly again or look at the installation video on this page.

Description:

Release v1.0.2 of the Unofficial Update Mod for Star Wars Battlefront II on PS2. Adds a recreation of the content from the Xbox DLC along with CW Hoth, CW Endor, GCW Geonosis, a few additional hunt modes, and Hero Assault (Heroes vs Villains) on every map, along with a slightly expanded Galactic Conquest. Additionally, there are some minor singleplayer/splitscreen cheats available.

These files overwrite some base game files to add the Alt-Addon system, from which the mod runs. The user can then install future Alt-Addon packages using this system.

CHEATS:

Certain profile names will unlock or change characters in the mod, see if you can figure out all of them!

Here's a freebie: RogerRoger will let you play as the B1 Battledroid.
