Karl Jobst (does a lot of speedrunnig videos) has a video on this, which is worth watching and explains everything in detail.

Karl's channel is a great place to dive into. I guess he started as just a speedrunner, but in recent years he's been making terrific videos on deep mechanics of speedrunning, on cheating and cheat detection, etc. And he's done significant journalism on shady business in adjacent topics, like records-keeping organizations and the market for retro game cartridges. He's even been (being?) sued by Billy Mitchell (the King of Kong guy), whom Jobst calls the biggest conman in gaming.

Really good channel to check out and support.

The article is essentially just a rehash of Karl's video.

I second this recommendation. The article is basically just a summary of Karl’s video.

[ahahahahah]

And thank god for that. Karl's video is ridiculously drawn out and should've been a tenth the length.
