There will never be any sort of firmware upgrade to support dual layer burning, official or not.

It is not possible to burn a dual layer dvd with a standard dvd burner. A dual layer dvd burner would require two completely different lasers in it to burn the two different layers.

Apparently a lot of research has gone into making a dual layer burner but is being ditched in favour of a new 10GB single layer format disc due to be introduced shortly.

The ps2 will not be able to read these discs as a blue laser is required to read them.

Regards
