Not unless they did a global hardware survey, but even then the emulators have a hard legitimate copy of the device they're emulating, all you're doing with an emulator Is using the operating system, and anything beyond that Is your action.

What they CAN know, as of the current apk build:

- Your build number (Ex. Using rennzy's client 2 would probably get you banned as It doesn't have a valid signature afaik) which Is the version, and signature attached to the app file, this Is how they check If you're using a "cheat tool" or not.

- Your Operating System

- Your history of transfers

- Originating IP's (Probably for determining the original holder or whatever)

- Your User ID

These are just the biggest ones, the main ones that are phoned home and reported to Bandai and their technicians. Taking that Into account, there's no feasible way to determine If you're using an emulator unless they specifically got your emulator's build number, version, and a bunch of other things and I doubt they'd want to go through the trouble unless It got really bad.

But then, they'd probably just go straight to rennzy, and they have before, as hes the main propriater of said "cheat tools", but even warns you about the tournament.
