    was just wondering if there's a way to upgrade to a quicker drive to elimate the access time and such. Can i use any generic drive? Do i need to use the drive from another ps2? Is this even possible?

    Is it possible to swap a PS2 DVD for another PS2 DVD, same/different model?

    I have a PS2 that doesn't like DVDs in horizontal and doesn't like CDs in vertical and I need to know if I need the same drive model or what.

    Thanks

    there is an instruction booklet floating around on the internet about doing a drive swap with newer gen's. i think it's even on ebay right now.
