No mention of whether the emulator is easier than the original, nor whether his score was still the high score in the emulator.

- sdenton4 4y agoI think it's much easier to cheat programmatically with an emulator. For example, you could play a game in an emulator and record all input, and save at each new screen. Then if you die or get a bad RNG behavior, restore from the last save (discarding all input since the last save), and continue playing until you beat the screen. Then, for the record, just replay the 'winning' branch through the CRT and record it. MAME supports exactly this kind of input recording and playback: https://www.reddit.com/r/MAME/comments/6p0g9o/how_to_record_and_play_my_input_on_mame_187/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MAME/comments/6p0g9o/how_to_record_...
- Firehawke 4y agoExactly this. And it doesn't guarantee that the code he ran was a stock build of MAME, either. It could be a version with rerecording that lets you go back and fix mistakes until you get a perfect tool-assisted run.
