The is concrete evidence that contradicts him for one evidence submitted shows that on an unaltered arcade board the score is not achievable while it is on Mame and emulator, video of his score being achieved was compared the level loading up to both arcade and Mame to which the video compared exactly to the latter. The rule is all scores have to be done on an unaltered arcade machine which his score wasn't so he had a huge advantage over other players.

Youtuber ApolloLegend has a video detailing all this.

Yeah but I still wonder if he knew it was MAME (as he claims he doesn't know what "a MAME is", or if he did know. It's just people are making him out to be some serial killer or something, and I don't think this was intentional. Some are just making it seem it was mal-intent. I personally don't like Mitchell but some of the hate he's getting seems misplaced. 

Someone who has spent so long playing arcade games would of course at a point had someone explain to them what Mame is, to think that he went his whole life without someone saying "you know you could play these on a home PC bro?" is just impossible to believe.

This is the equivalent of a butcher accused of a mass murder claiming he doesn't even know what a "steak knife" is.
