After experimenting with RE1, here's what I've found about unlocking the bonus items on this version.

You get the Closet Key for getting the best ending.

For finishing the game in under 4 hours as Jill, you get the Ingram weapon (an infinite SMG). For finishing the game in under 4 hours as Chris, you get the Minimi weapon (an infinite light machine gun).

To get the infinite Rocket Launcher, you have to finish the game in under 3.5 to 4 hours without saving. You're allowed to use infinite items like the Ingram or Minimi to do this if it's your 2nd playthrough onwards.

Interesting. Might be cool to finally test this properly for the first time and find out what the true requirements are!
I corrected my list below with current facts. It does not matter which Ending you finish the game with to get the Bonus weapons. Good Ending is only required for the Special Key.
I still need to test what the true time limit for the rocketlauncher is.

Endings:
1. Bad: Escape alone (everyone else dies)
2. Normal: Escape with two characters (either let Becci/Barry die or don't rescue Jill/Chris)
3. Good: Escape with all characters

Unlockables:
- Finish with Good Ending -> Special Key for costume change
- Finish with Any Ending under 4 hours -> Infinite Minimi for Chris, Infinite Ingram for Jill
- Finish with Any Ending / 0 saves / Under 3,5 hours -> Infinite Rocket Launcher

This is how I know for years:

finish under 5 hours -> infinite magnum
finish under 3 hours -> infinite rocketlauncher
finish under 3 hours -> infinite minimi for chris, infinite ingram for Jill
finish with all characters survive -> special key for costume change room
it does not matter how many times you save for any of this.
it does not matter how many health sprays you use for any of this.
it does not matter if you use special weapons (minimi,ingram,infmagnum) for any of this

I have to admit tho, that I always finish the game around 3 hours, sometimes more sometimes less. so i usually get everything. but the rocketlauncher is interesting to me. I'm pretty sure it does not matter how many times you save but you need the good ending. Might be my memory is wrong and it DOES matter how much you save.
Infinite magnum only available in Director's Cut version.
The original version of the game doesn't have it.

I just got the rocket launcher with a time of 3:14 and 0 saves.

I was doing some testing with Chris to see about the number of saves. I did one save in under 3 hours with the best ending and didn't get the Rocket Launcher, though I did get the Minimi and the Closet Key. I then did 0 saves and got under 3 hours and got the Launcher.

So it looks like the requirements are under 3.5 or 4 hours (or perhaps time doesn't matter?) and 0 saves. I'll edit my first post.

Edited my initial post too. I also made a Chris run under 2 hours and got everything except the Rocket Launcher because I saved 1 time before Yawn. The first Yawn encounter can make or break a run due to how random its movements can be.
So yes, 0 saves are an absolute must for the Rocketlauncher but not for the Machineguns.

I did further research. The good ending is not required to get the Bonus Weapons.
Finished with Jill Normal Ending in 1:20 hours / 0 saves and got both Launcher and Ingram.
Still need to test the time limits.
I will do that with Rebirth cuz GOG lacks the feature to speed up the game to x2 speed.
I edited my Entry above again.

The Rocket Launcher supposedly can be unlocked in any time as long as you don't save according to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Cfnl6Bt8_o About 31 minutes in, his info is based on the 90's PC port which is what this is.

I also heard from someone else that you can get the rocketlauncher by either time or amount of saves.
So either you finish under 4 hours with 0 saves, or finish under 3 hours with 3 saves. I finished under 2 hours with 1 save and didnt get it. So last one is a lie! Only the savecount is important, everything else doesn't apply for the rocket launcher.
But maybe it applies to the other two bonus weapons. More testing required.

:) I think you might be thinking of RE2 Remake or something, that sounds like some RE2 Remake kinda unlockable stuff.

It's actually very simple.

Beat the game and no matter what you will get the machine gun unique to your chosen character.

Beat the game with the best ending to get the closet key.

Beat the game once as Jill and load your completed file to play on hard mode.

Beat the game without saving to get the rocket launcher.


Time doesn't matter for anything in this version.

I tested this today. You have to finish under 4 hours for the Machine Guns.
Time is a factual requirement. I added screenshots as proof.
The new game save above 4 hours does not have the MG's in the inventory.
Sorry to disappoint you. But we at least know now for real!

I always thought that you only needed to finish the game without saving for the infinite rocket launcher. No need to finish under 4h. Of course if you want a savefile with everything unlocked for a character, you do need to finish under 4h to get the special weapon (ingram/minini).
