If you buy an official Sony PS2 dvd remote you get a cd with a dvd drive upgrade on it.

what is the dvd update for?

It upgrades your dvd driver. The early ps2 versions had problems with alot of dvd movies. This helped fix some of those problems.

ok, I got the upgrade cd with my new dvd remote. However, when I tried to install it every time, It always gives an error. I've got about 3 mb free on my memory card. Do I need a brand new memory card without any game saves so I can install the update?

I'm running a V5 with a Magic 2 chip.

TIA

I wouldn't think so. What error are you getting and are you refering to the manual for help?

I went thru the manual for the dvd remote. It doesn't really say much about problems with installation.

Anyway, the progress bar fills to about 1/4 and an error message comes up saying "Installation failed. Terminating..."

sounds like u runnin out of usable memory blocks.

Is it an official sony mem card or third party??

3rd party. would that be a problem?

Well, depends..................... If its an official sony or a 'Mad Catz' then it would probably be okay but you can never 100% trust anything that ain't official sony.

If you've got a third party one and your havin trouble putting a dvd driver on it then best thing to do would be to buy or borrow an official one and try it on there.

I can't think of anything else it would be........

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!
