      @batman Forget what I said about restoring "factory settings"! ;) I was misunderstanding your problem...

      @batman said in What is the current state of retroachievements? Working?:

      (...) despite putting in my username and password in the Retroarch GUI, those fields would continue to be blank again when I next went in to check.

      I've just realized that my RetroAchievements username and password seems to be blank on rgui, but they aren't! :D The content of these fields isn't showed on rgui even when it's filled.

      It works on all three supported systems I have installed!

      Are you achieving megadrive games?! With picodrive?!?! Good to hear that!

        Yes, exactly. Not sure if this is a known issue but mine still didn't show in the RGUI despite it registering games on the supported systems.

        Are you achieving megadrive games?! With picodrive?!?! Good to hear that!

        No luck with Sega Megadrive games. I purposely checked some achievement before playing today with the intention of earning some and wasn't able get any registered. No notifications whilst playing either via Retropie and the site only detected the title of game.

            just to remember
            retropie_setup -> Install individual emulators from binary or source -> lr-mgba -> source

            and then enable it at /opt/retropie/configs/all/gba/emulators.cfg

                  Wondered if someone can help. I've followed the wiki and added my details to the cfg and checked it's enabled. Now any game I launch gives me a message saying achievements are not available for this game even on ones I know are listed on retroachievements. This is for snes by the way. Should I be using a particular emu for it?

                    @addyb the RetroArch error messages aren't so precise for RetroAchievements errors. It happens to me when I have problems with my connection. Check if it is your case.

                      It's working fine today. There originally must of been a delay in me registering and it being activated for the games. I'm playing super Metroid and the achievements keep popping up.

                          Don't know about that mate. All these games feel like it's hardcore mode already. My skills have waned with age lol.

                            @addyb It doesn't increase the real game difficulty. The hardcore mode only disables all the save/load state features. And the RetroAchievements score will worth double.

                              Mmm megadrive achievements aren't working. Tried all the emulators.

                                @addyb works just fine in lr-picodrive. Put your cheevos info in the megadrives retroarch file:

                                /opt/retropie/configs/megadrive/retroarch.cfg
                                

                                undefined

                                  @edmaul69 it is not necessary if the megadrive retroarch.cfg has the #include to the ...configs/all/retroarch.cfg and it has the cheevos' configs.

                                    @meleu i do this specifically for the systems that support it. If it isnt in the all file it doesnt pester you in all the other systems about the core not being supported. Plus several people have had problems with lr-gambatte and lr-picodrive and i have had no issues on any emulator running it this way.

                                      Thanks I'll have a look later. I thought I'd put the original cheevos details in the global config file so assumed it would effect everything.

                                        And it does effect everything. I use it this way (global config), the wiki instructs this way...
                                        @edmaul69 is just pointing his preference.

                                          Tried to add retroachievements to my game. Edited my retroarch file as stated above.

                                          Going through the RGUI I can see that achievements is enabled, my username and password is all in ok, but tried unlocking some easy achievements (like the sonic 20 ring one) and nothing is happening. No announcement, etc and nothing on my account.

                                          When I go to quick menu - > achievements, there are no achievements to display.

                                          Any ideas what's going wrong?

                                            Strangely, I've now managed to get an achievement on Gain Ground - achievements for that are working fine.

                                            Any other game I've tried loading has not yet displayed any achievements...
