Possible but difficult and not advised.

Firstly, a dvd game is a hell of a lot larger than a cd game and therefore would require reducing in size.

This is usually done by getting rid of unnecessary stuff like title screens, video sequences ( either cutting them out or reducing in resolution) and then some heavy compression of files ( like using a ps2 version of winrar to compress ).

Also the boot and handshake sectors would require editing as they r completely different for ps2 cd and dvd games.


And finally to get it to run on an unmodded ps2 would require a specific routine using various techniques like the 'cog and knife ' method which usually end up damaging your ps2 in the long run and are also usually long winded and work about 25% of the time.

Hope this answers your question

Regards
