        I just found some time to copy the retroarch.cfg files:

        /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg: https://ghostbin.com/paste/oz29t
        /opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg: https://ghostbin.com/paste/k7ygr

        But I'm to stupid to find the runcommand log. I just get bios, configs, roms and splashscreens when I open the Pi with \RETROPIE in my windows explorer.

        EDITH: Nevermind, I found it: https://ghostbin.com/paste/2ws69

          @Keysersoze77 according to the logs everything is fine. Try updating RetroArch from source.

            @Keysersoze77 you played super mario world (snes) in Jan-08-2017. Wasn't it on RetroPie? :-)

              I'm getting these errors if I try to update Retroarch from source. :(

              And on the 8th of January I wasn't using Retropie. I tried the game on my PC.

                @Keysersoze77 update RetroPie-Setup before trying to update RetroArch from source.

                  Sorry for my stupidity.

                  I've now updated Retroarch and still got no achievements for SNES games. :(

                    Do the achievements for the SNES games work on your Pi? And do you have any other idea how to get them to work?

                      @Keysersoze77 yes, it works. The strange thing is that according to your log you logged in retroachievements and got the cheevos list successfully (super mario world - snes). The only suggestion I can give is to try again and check your logs...

                        I can't believe it, I just found the solution. The problem was the ROM-type. I used the *.smc ROMs and it didn't show the achievements. When I tried the *.sfc ROMs everything worked and the achievements showed up in Retroarch.

                        Thank you very much for all your help!

                          Did you just change the extension or obtain another set. I believe RetroAchievements determine ROMs based on a hash check rather than a naming convention. It could be that the hashes were off in your original SNES set.

                            I obtained another ROM. I realized that retroachievements showed "bad rom pile" on their website when I loaded the old file.
