Billy Mitchell is supposedly one of the best players of classic early 80's arcade games in the world. he holds world records in Donkey Kong and Pacman

a while back some of his world record scores were declared invalid because it was found out he got the scores playing on an emulator instead of authentic arcade hardware

now for some reason they are reversing that decision and he is once again the world champion of Donkey Kong in particular

I'm guessing he gave them more money.

Are there performance differences between mame hardware and emulating? Or is it just bc of access to save states that take credibility away from emulators?

I think it might be both those things. I don't understand the science behind the claims about the game playing differently but according to those who do, the game doesn't work 100% exactly the same in an emulator compared to an actual real arcade machine

@Lordgold666
Both. Also, he's been caught with doctored evidence already, and he straight up lied about what he played on, while we know full well that he had access to proper machines.

WTF. Why?

He sued Guiness for a million dollars and they folded rather than fighting it

Its really not about mame. You are allowed to submit name scores into a different category.

The problem is that Billy swears up and down that all of those scores were done on actual machines, and has given lot of detail about where they were done, about the capture device he used. He says all 3 of the scores were done on Different arcade machines, in front of crowds, in a controlled Environment, yet all of the load levels like mame does, and no one has been able to reproduce this effect on actual hardware even with all the info he has given. Even the technician that he hired wasnt able to do it.

According to the video he hasnt proven his innocence, hes just been suing everyone, and Guinness caved rather than going to court.
