Video game player Billy Mitchell, who once held the top score in Donkey Kong, is being disqualified from the leaderboards. Some consider his scores “fraudulent” because they were attained through MAME, which registers differently than on arcade hardware. Thanks KD5ZXG.
"While clearly MAME, there is no way to tell exactly how these games were performed," writes Young. "It's possible they were recorded in one shot. Given the play style in Billy's videos, it's more likely that vanilla MAME's INP recording feature was abused, in which a person can re-record an INP as many times as they wish to craft their desired performance."
