A lot of people have been making claims that Billy Mitchell's world record video shows him using a MAME emulator instead of actual hardware. This video from Apollo Legend breaks down how legit that is.

If he's cheating that means there's a potential donkey kong killscreen coming up of anybody is interested.

I don't follow competitive gaming at all. Never watched this doc. But
If this is true it seems the flaws in the systems created this problem and are to blame as much.
Also not to sound like a flat earther but how can i be sure any of the evidence shown here is real? He has no cite for the videos

I mean, this guy. Billy Mitchell. Who does he think he is? Cheating on Donkey Kong? Billy, you should be ashamed of yourself!

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if this was true. That dude's always come across to me as a major sleaze.

Waitwaitwait! Isn't this the plot to the movie Pixels? also, don't ask me how I know about the movie Pixels Peter Dinklage's character is based fairly heavily on this, I believe. ...I still like Pixels. Also, so why is using an emulator a horrible thing for high scores? Unless the guy actually did save state or otherwise cheat his way to a better score, I don't see how just using it should earn such vitriol.

But I took from this video many people use emulators but its not a valid competition because it can be saved.

It’s been years since I watched the documentary, and it really wasn’t very good anyways, but if I recall the drama came from Twin Galaxies being willing to take Billy at his word that the videos he sent were legit, while the protagonist was told he had to come in and make his score in person. Plays into something we’ve all lived through of double standards because the boss likes someone.

I mean sure, but is not being arcade-perfect itself a reason to discredit high scores? I'm actually unclear on this; I know speedruns tend to be done on original hardware to prevent lag and such, but I didn't think it mattered for high scores.

Emulators and ROMs can be modified, hacked, etc. What may look like a standard game may have been tweaked slightly to make it easier even in a MAME cabinet

I guess Mitchell's scores have been Benoited from history, at least for now.
