As of yesterday the top 3 PS2 players of all categories must show their PS driver version before or after a run. you can show this via the system configuration screen when the disc tray is open or when a game isn't inserted.

Driver Version 1.11 is banned for use with Japanese versions of the game.

This driver was never released in japan and region modding one of these consoles with the 1.11 driver will save massive amounts of time for seemingly no reason.

If I have to show the driver before the run, this will require me to physically reset the PS2 (and set the controls) every time that I reset, which as you can imagine, makes missing the Barry glitch that much more painful when I realize that it just wasted 3 minutes of my life instead of just 1.
