I have hdloader and i want to install battlefront on it....i looked at the hdloader compatibilities but it says that it goes black (which it does). Is there any possible way to make this game work? i have the fliptop and the swapmagic disks. Please help! Thanks

I got it to work on the harddrive. I have an unmodded v4 ps2. The method involves the NTSC version. You have to change the system.cnf file after you rip the game onto your computer.
Courtesy of zero_00: Hi Dudes
It´s Possible to Play SW Battlefront from HDD with HDAdvance
U only must only edit the SYSTEM.CNF file
Hi here is an short work around for StarWars -- Battlefront
Workaround
Put all Files to your Harddisk (PC) Edit the SYSTEM.CNF File
Original
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\Sles/Slus/Sces_xxxx;1
VER = 1.01
VMODE = PAL
Edited
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SWBFRONT.ELF;1
VER = 1.01
VMODE = PAL
Than Rebuild the Iso has only 1,8 gig after rebuild with Nero or Ultra Iso (1_01 as CD Name), and use HDLDump or I prefer FapLink to get the Iso on PS2 HDD. So after all u can enyoy the fully working game. U need all 3 Modes enabled
I use this method with the NTSC Version and Works Perfect

1. Make sure you have about at least 8 free Gb.
2. If you do not have DVDdecrypter, download it. Use DVDdecrypter to rip Star wars to your harddrive. Save it where you will remember it.
3. If you do not have Alcohol 120%, download it. Open up Alcohol. When you are at the main screen, go to open, then find battlefront. When it comes up in the main screen afterwards, right click on it and select "mount to device." This makes the computer believe that the file is a cd in your drive.
4. Then go to "My computer" and double click on your imaginary drive which should be the file you saved.
5. Open up the "system.cnf" file with notepad. Make the appropriate changes as indicated by my last post.
6. Open up DVDdecryptor again and rip the new battlefront (from your imaginary drive. Make sure your imaginary drive is selected and not your real drive.
7. After you extract your new battlefront as an .iso you can load it directly from your computer with winhiip.
Goodluck

No, you actually cannot do that. The computer will not recognize your ps2 harddrive, except in winhiip, so you cannot take stuff off of it. In order to get the game onto your computer and do the steps I told you about, you have to have a disk with battlefront on it (original or backup).

Any hardrive that you format with hdloader/advance can be recognized with winhiip. Also, you can format any harddrive with winhiip, but be careful because it erases everything on the harddrive you are formatting

www.ps2nfo.com formally www.ps2ownz.com, has it, but you need to be a member to download. No biggie, same deal as afterdawn. You can try a google search too. You only need to reformat if your hd is not new and was used for something other than the ps2. So if you are taking it from an old computer, you must reformat. In this case, transfer the data you want before reformatting. Reformatting erases absolutely everything.

It should be about 1.8 gigs. I just looked back at my system.cnf file and its this.
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SWBFRONT.ELF;1
VER = 1.02
VMODE = NTSC
He must have done his for PAL. Sorry bout the confusion. Try this and let me know how it turns out.

Finally got Battlefront to work with HDAdvance today by copying the Battlefront files to the hard drive and then editing the system.cnf file while on the hard drive using Notepad with the following verbage:
BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SWBFRONT.ELF;1
VER = 1.02
VMODE = NTSC
After making the above changes save it.
Then burn all of the Battlefront files including the revised system.cnf file to a DVD (-R, +R or RW). Then use DVD Decryper to make a image on your hard drive. Use WinHIIP to transfer the image to your Playstation hard drive. Make sure to select Mode 3 otherwise it will not run.

I tried to back up battlefront using dvdecryptor but I kept getting an error message saying that I did not have enough space on my HD, but I have about 15 free gigs. This also happened when I tried to backup Draken, any ideas? I have succesfully backed up my other games without troubles.

Ok so I used dvddecrypter and burned the iso file to computers HD. I then used Acohol 120 to mount the file. Problem is when I go to edit the system file with notepad it will not save the changes as it is read only. If I go to uncheck the read only box in the files properties it wont let me. Help me please.

I forgot about this. I think this is what I did: Make a folder on your desktop and name it "battlefront." Then manually drag the files from your mounted image to that folder. This will take a few minutes. Then mess with the system file, it should not be read only anymore.
Now that I think about it, you can probably drag the files strait from the battlefront original dvd (because you own the game) strait to your desktop. Then edit it and use dvddecrypter to make an iso. This would bypass the first decryption and the mounting with Alcohol and would save HD space on your computer. Sorry I did not think about that til now...I did this a while ago.

hey thanks for getting back to me... Ok thats fine and I made the file but How do I set up DVD Decrypter to "make" an ISO of the file. When I go to dvd decyrpter I switch to mode, iso, write..... then it asks me to open the file. is there a specific file I need to point it toward in the "battlefront" folder I just made?

Now you can burn the file to your computer as an .iso. If you use roxio:
put the folders in individually into your project. Do not add the folder labeled battlerfront, but instead load all of the files (system.cnf...). Be sure to add them all. Then go to file--> create cd hard disk image. It will ask you where you want to save your .iso file.
If you use Nero: Make sure you have "image recorder" set as the burning device. Then do the exact same thing as roxio. When it asks you where you want to save the image, the default setting saves it as .nrg. Just click on it and change it to .iso.
Other burning software is probably similar to these steps, but you can download the trial to either of these. You do not even need a dvd burner because it is a virtual drive you are burning to.

Hey Folks, Just a note, I heard how everybody was having to go through a bunch of rebuilding of starwars BF, but I figured I'd try it just using dvddecryptor, worst case scenario,I'd have another coaster, but it works fine, so far, I'm using a fliptop with swapmagic, has anyone else had the same success?

skorpeo,
Just to let you know, copying the game wasn't the problem addressed in this thread. The issue was with HDLoader and HDAdvance (playing Battlefront from a hard disk).
Good to hear you've copied the game successfully. Perhaps you should post it on a thread about Battlefront and the ability to create a backup of it.

thanks for clearing that up for me, I might just do that, post a thread that is, now which HD are we talking about playing from anyway? A PC HD or the PS2 HD? Thanx for any insight.
