How does the PS2 handle multi-disc PS1 games?

[PixyJunket]

Does anybody know how the PS2 handles PS1 games that require you to switch discs? I never actually thought about this myself.. but the system usually resets when you press eject. I ask this because I'm translating the puzzles to a hidden game on Namco Museum 3, and one of the levels requires you to press the open button and close the lid for the treasure to appear.

I'm assuming that when the PS1 "expects" the door to be open, the PS2 will allow ejection without resetting itself.. but that doesn't make total sense because the old PS1 Boot Discs still require a flip-top lid..

I believe it allows you to switch discs without resetting. I've done it with ff9, among other ps1 games, on my ps2.

I've done it before with my PS1 games. It's a software reset, that's why.

Hopefully this trick will work on a PS2. Guess I'll know when I get my game back.

Having re-played through FF8, FF9, and Chrono Cross on a PS2, I can tell you that there's no probelm changing discs.
