I have never been able to figure out why getting the high score on an arcade game matters so much to people. Cuz when you're at looking that game screen at the pizza place, and you wonder who is the best, the initials screen top slot saying ASS will let ya know. Fixed for my pizza place. |

Considering the stuff John Oliver & others have talked about Guinness World Records, it's not surprising they would reinstate it despite contrary evidence. Hell, Guinness now is claiming ownership to hundreds of speedrun on YouTube. |

It was proven he cheated and used an emulator as what his footage showed could only be accomplished on one. I don't see what possible new evidence you could produce that would just like....erase conclusive proof.

I don't see what possible new evidence you could produce that would just like....erase conclusive proof. Yeah, “can’t put a MAME board into a Donkey Kong cabinet” is total bullshit. Maybe you can’t do a direct swap out of boards, but it’s not like you can’t modify the cabinet to make it MAME compatible. |

Hell, you could probably just hollow out the cabinet and put in a freaking computer in it to run MAME
It sounds like the people at Guiness are about as tech savvy as the suits in Hollywood.. |

I mean Arcade 1up cabinets are essentially MAME cabinets construction wise.

It's literally what a gaming bar does here for some of their setups. |

Billy put his fists up and Guinness flinched. No matter what his record will always have an asterisk behind it and this only hurts Guinness' credibility. |

Giantbomb wasn't kidding when they said this whole Billy Mitchell saga is like when the main bad guy keeps being brought back where he's not really dead or the next villain revives him. He's always here.

Quite easily you could hide a small computer motherboard in there out of view of cameras as the actually running system (or these days even a Raspberry Pi, which easily runs Mame) and just put in a legit board but not hook it up to the TV. HELL, I could probably do that myself |

"Thank you Billy Mitchell for teaching America a valuable lesson. If at first you don't succeed, keep complaining and threatening lawsuits until your dreams come true."
Marge: "That's a very lousy lesson."
"And I'm a very lousy forum poster." *Derpface*

Imagine threatening actual lawsuits with actual lawyers in an actual court because someone said you cheated at Donkey Kong.
I don't care if this guy holds every record for every game ever made, what an absolute loser.
