      @fun4stuff I've just test with Castlevania/FCEUmm right now and everything is working fine.

        Is there any advantage between lr-FCEUmm and lr-Nestopia as far as RetroAchievements are concerned, or do they both trigger about as reliably?

          @mediamogul What I know about RetroAchievements and NES cores is exactly what I put in the RetroArch wiki:

          QuickNES

          The QuickNES seems to be the NES core with the best compatibility. No problems related to RetroAchievements were found in this core after the 05-Nov-2016 fixes.

          NOTE: There's a known issue with QuickNES on Android (not related to RetroAchievements); in the impossibility of using QuickNES, it is recommended to use FCEUmm).

          FCEUmm

          There are a few known achievements that aren't working with FCEUmm (e.g.: pickup items in Metroid, Goomba Massacre in Super Mario Bros 3).

          Nestopia

          Untested.

              Will anything show up in retroarch under RetroAchievements if I haven't unlocked any achievements previously? Wondering if it displays all possible achievements or only achievements that I have obtained.

                  So what should I see under RetroAchievements section in the retroarch on screen display?

                    @fun4stuff on the website you should see all the games you played. The achievements you dont have will be grayed out. Does the website show anything?

                      It says 0 games played.

                      Previously log file said:
                      "RetroArch [INFO] :: CHEEVOS testing SNES (8Mb padding).

                      So I would think website should at least have some record of that?

                        @fun4stuff did you go into retropie setup, update retropie setup, and then install retroarch from source?

                          Are you sure you're looking in the right place? You have to invoke RGUI and then go to Quick Menu -> Achievement list / Achievement list (Hardcore).

                            Yes, that's exactly where I am looking. So that should only show unlocked achievements? I was not sure what should be displayed there

                              I only updated retroarch. Ill update both tonight. The problem with updating retroarch from source is that my controllers quit working until I updated again from binary.

                                @fun4stuff ok just try from binary but you have to update retropie setup. Otherwise you just install an outdated version of retroarch.

                                  You should see something like this:

                                    Updated both. Still nothing being displayed: says "no achievements to display" ( RGUI: Quick Menu -> Achievement list / Achievement list).

                                    Here is the log: http://pastebin.com/f2sauPEE

                                    I don't understand log says:

                                    Yet, nothing even displayed on retro achievements website.

                                      1. when you go to Quick Menu how many "Achievement list" options do you have?
                                      2. Please go to RGUI -> Information -> System Information and put here what you see on "Git version".

                                        Two achievement lists. One for hardcore and one regular.

                                          @fun4stuff what is happening to you is really strange. The logs are saying that you've made a successful login and posted a playing activity but on RetroAchievements site you played nothing (assuming you are fun4stuff there). Also it's strange that nobody else reported such problem.

                                          I could downgrade my RetroArch and try to reproduce your issue, but if you are feeling ambitious I think it's better you upgrade from source and we try to solve your joystick problem (I think @obsidianspider had the same problem and solved).

                                            Ok thanks. Yeah same username on retroachievements. I'll try and update from source and fix controller issue over next couple days. Does sound like the same problem I was having as keyboard still worked just not controllers.
