I  don't remember this Moritz !
Maybe Ossi knows.

From todays point of view I would say: the genius4 case is a different
case.
Richard made a DOS engine to MAKE it fit with the auto232 autoplayer.
Nobody complained. Genius did not jump from 13 rank to first rank.
It stayed in the 2nd field.
Here we have the case that with a hidden-device and a non public
version, based on a exception made by the ssdf-guys, a program suddenly
jumped from the middle-field into the first-rank.
I doubt that manually outplayed games will get the same results.
Sorry. This is my point of view.
Now you can condemn me :-)))
