I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about. Gamesharks are not glitch exploiters, they're just flags getting raised and savefiles getting edited - it redefines the rules of the game. It's the equivalent of a guy firing drugdarts into a soccer match from the stands. And there's no category of speedrunning that involves such devices.

Unlike gamesharks, glitches are within the boundaries of the game. The solution to the popular board game Checkers was not intended by the developers but it's sitting there in the rules and it completely breaks the game.

This attitude towards speedruns has always been the case and is considered as such now, so your "old-school mindset" is one that is shared by a tiny circle of oblivious friends, including you, at best.

Backontopic: I'm currently speedrunning Sacrifice. Easy world record since no one has ever run it, but people have done work on it many years ago.
