Reading the drama unfold in realtime a few years ago on the forums was enthralling. It was like reading a 500 page serial and by the end there was cold-hard facts vs "I'm going to expose fake news on my friend's right-wing internet radio show." King of Kong made him look shady, but the evidence of cheating since then is all based MAME emulator quirks* of very specific versions that allow replays from arbitrary points, lack of sound in recordings, glitches in video recording at convenient times, high score runs witnessed without anyone in the same room.
This quirks are things like (and I'm simplifying here) "Arcade hardware draws girders from left to right, but MAME v1.11 draws them from right to left. Billy Mitchell's video also shows them drawn from right to left, plus this random enemy always appears in the easiest possible position."
