The dispute began in 2018 when a player accused Mitchell of using an emulator instead of the official, unmodified hardware often required to break records. Twin Galaxies investigated and removed Mitchell’s results from its website and the Guinness Book of World Records. Mitchell has always denied the allegations and sued Twin Galaxies. The parties reached an agreement in 2023, but the terms were not disclosed.
New analysis by an expert engineer with experience in video game emulation has found that visual artifacts observed in a recording of one of Mitchell’s games may have been caused by obsolete components in the game board.
Mitchell said in a statement that he was “relieved and satisfied” that the dispute had been resolved. He said he plans to continue his “unfinished business elsewhere.”
