Video game records are records like anything else. Billy using MAME is no different from baseball players using non-regulation bats.

That's really Jewish. Bench trials should be illegal.

Billy Mitchel used MAME and a non regulation 8 position joystick to get his donkey kong world record. MAME is very important because it's an emulator. The Donkey Kong community agrees that MAME is much easier to play than real hardware. Forum thread from 2013 discussing MAME being easier than real hardware.

The reason it's easier to play an emulator should be obvious. Faster CPU, more memory, faster I/O polling rates. You can react faster and have lower chances of missed inputs (you press the button and nothing happens.)
Do I think Billy used software cheats? Probably not. MAME alone is enough of an advantage to disqualify him.

You're wrong. There is 100% definitive proof he cheated. Picrel shows arcade hardware vs MAME emulator loading screens. He always used MAME. He used a modified 8 position joystick and not the 4 position one. Billy is disqualified and it isn't debatable.

I don't think defaming someone who lied about a world record, used the legal system as a club, then rewarding him is a good legal president. A proper judgement would be a few thousand dollars, lawyers fees, and public apology.
