Retroachievements

@Addison I had this issue when using 3.7 (as reported here), and it was solved. You just have to update your lr-fceumm using the retropie_setup and it'll work! ;-)

Since many users ask for instructions on how to increase the font size of the RetroArch messages, I added it on the RetroAchievements wiki:

@meleu thank you. That makes seeing your achievements so much easier.
-
Thank you Meleu!
I found that changing the font to 48 was perfect for my eyes.
Man, I must be getting old. :)
One more thing please.
If I would like my friends and family to also share in the Retroachievements feature, what would be the simplest way of logging in each time with a different profile?
I would need a retroarch.cfg for each person, yes?
What would be an easy way to select which one to use?
Cheers.
-
@Addison yeah man... you have to edit retroarch.cfg manually.
I was working on way to manage retroachievements accounts on RetroPie, and then I've got more focused on implementing more features to the joystick-selection utility...
Maybe later...

Is retroachievements still in the very early beta stages for Super Nintendo?
In Kirby's Dream Course, nothing registered for a hole in one, I also received an award for getting silver on a course when I had only gotten bronze.
Super Mario World shows no achievements to be earned and in my Retroachievements history, it says that it's a bad rom. The same game works just fine on my PC along with earning achievements.
Super Punchout! States that this game has no achievements to be earned.

I'm using lr-armsnes, but in the Retroarch menu, it shows up as Pocketnes for some reason. Weird.
I tried using lr-Snes9x-next but that didn't fair any different when it came to compatibility or recognizing achievements.
All of my Snes emulator binaries are current so I'm not sure what else I can do on this.

Yes. And for NES too.
Megadrive is the only I have nothing to complain.
I started a thread there to discuss these issues:

Thank you again Meleu. :)
-
Is there anybody else here currently experiencing problems with the RetroAchievements?
It seems to be a RetroArch problem, beause I can't get it working even in my Android...
-
@meleu i will have to test. I had to setup my sd card after it got caught in an infinite boot loop so i havent verified since.
-
FYI, if you end up using Floobs awesome borders, have a read of this. I've tweaked the font size and position to fit the screen properly

Just gave it a quick go and it's triggering/reporting achievements with lr-fceumm on my 4.0.2 install.
-
@mediamogul everything seems to be fine now.
Are you used to use savestates? I see your achievements are all "softcore". -
I use save states to practice difficult areas before I make a full run on allotted lives/single life. I've been meaning to write a script that would enable/disable states alongside achievements that I can quickly access and then reset my achievements to hardcore, but I haven't got around to it yet.

Hi.
Do you have a compatibility page that stays updated with Retroachievements?
I've been really hoping for Super Mario World and Super Punch Out to be supported.
Thanks.

No. I tried to do it here based on my own experiences: http://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=3020
But I didn't find enough time to keep it up to date...I've been really hoping for Super Mario World and Super Punch Out to be supported.
Super Mario World is surely supported! I earned some cheevos for this game. Keep in mind that you must use the same ROM as the achievements creator used.
-
What emulator and version of it are you using?

I use the default RetroPie 4 SNES emulator for raspi2: lr-snes9x-next.
About the ROM version: I'm not at home now, but they usually talk about it in retroachievements.org, in the specific game achievements list page. ;-)edit: in my raspi1 I use lr-armsnes.
