Just purchased a slim PS2 (model type SCPH-70012) as I'm gearing up for my first "serious" Leon-A run on Resident Evil 2, and from what I've gleamed this particular PS2's PS1 Driver is pretty good at improving times via its FDS (I think the current WR even utilized a Japanese 70012). I'm just excited that I'm one small step closer to my personal goal on my fave game (which is a sub 1:15:00 run). A far cry from the WR, but simply a personal goal I want to meet :)
This site has been so inspiring, I'm so thankful I decided to take this on!
Good luck man, I recently unearthed my old PS2Slim for similar reasons, no idea what model it is though. You'll smash that goal, don't worry ;)
Thank you SO much for the support brother! It really means alot at this stage of the journey, bc I'll admit I'm slightly intimidated by the time I've chosen to chase. Lol
