      @meleu I'll step into this ;) I think it's good to use this thread as encourgement. Without you my friend I did not even know that such a system is available :)
      And I think I'm not alone with that statement.

        the list of NES games gives me a 404.

        fixed. Thanks!

        A list of supported Emulators would be pretty helpful IMO.

        Damn! How could I forgot to write about that?!?! I've updated the OP with this info. Thanks again! ;-)

        By the way, RetroAchievements doesn't work with Nestopia. :(

                  @meleu So I’m switching to hardcore mode as the achievements don’t make sense outside of hardcore mode.

                  I see there is a way to reset all achievements. Is there a way to reset all non-hardcore achievements?

                  P.S. Sent ya a friend request on there too. :)

                    There's no such filter there.

                    But keep in mind that when you earn a cheevo in hardcore mode you actually get two cheevos, the hardcore and the "softcore". That's why hardcore cheevos worth double points.

                    Then, if you reset a softcore cheevo that you got in the hardcore way, you're actually thowing out some of your points.

                    I hope I was clear. :-)

                    P.S.: Friend request accepted.

                      @meleu Guess I’ll just go back and get the hardcore version of all the softcore ones I’ve got then! 😎

                      Thanks!

                          @livefastcyyoung not (yet). The implementation already started, but needs more coding. I'll post here when it's ready to use. ;-)

                            @meleu Excellent. Just broke an achievement score of 10,000 today. I’m coming for your 30,000+! ;)

                                      just a heads up: yes, currently there's a way to activate leaderboards on RetroArch. Details on the wiki page:

                                        Hello fellows,

                                        I spent most of my free time in the past couple of months working on the RetroAchievements Documentation Project:
                                        https://retroachievements.github.io/

                                        It's a good resource for those who want to learn to create achievements (although it has some info for regular users too).

                                        I hope you enjoy!

                                          Seems like a lot of achievements are either unobtainable, or have glitched counters though.

                                          Example:
                                          http://retroachievements.org/Game/401

                                          • First Pi: Pi 3 in a PSone case
                                          • Second Pi: Pi 0 in a Retroflag GPi Case
                                          • Third Pi: Pi 4 as a desktop computer
                                          • Some time in 2020: Picade

                                            @billyh glitched counters. It's known issue.
