This isn't at issue. TG has tracks for emulation and arcade. Submitting a game to the wrong track is against the rules. TG alleges that the plaintiff passed off emulated gameplay as live arcade play. Arcade and emulated play have different verification standards. Generally you need to reset the cabinet, which shows the machine's uninitialized memory on screen, post game you need to show the board. For emulated play you typically need to provide a full recording of the game, which can be re-run in the emulator. One difference between arcade and emulation comes down to inputs. The arcade joystick has a 4-way restrictor. When Jumpman is climbing a ladder the player can't provide left/right inputs. At a high level this impacts their ability to steer and group barrels. This is totally irrelevant apart from the highest levels of play.
