There were two enhancements for PS1 games on the PS2 - one was the 
smoother textures - which didn't work on the majority of games.  The other 
was to speed up the drive, instead of reading at the 1x the PS1 did, the 
PS2 would spin the drive at full speed.  This helped some games' load 
times (the anthology with FF6 comes to mind here) but some games still 
didn't like it.
