call for volunteers to help RetroArch full compatibility with RetroAchievements

[meleu]

Hey guys. I've created a topic at RetroAchievements.org forum talking about some problems I faced with some achievements when playing on RetroArch: http://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=3020

As you can see there, the guy who implemented cheevos in RetroArch liked the idea and demonstrates a will to try to fix the problems with achievements that don't work fine on RetroArch AND work fine on the "oficial" RetroAchievements emulators. He only asked for savestates right before completing problematic achievements so he can check the emulated memory.

I've created a github repository to upload the savestates: https://github.com/meleu/RetroArch-problematic-cheevos

If you guys wanna help, you can provide some savestates as well!

OBS.: keep in mind that the purpose is to report achievements problems that occur on RetroArch AND do not occur on ofical RetroAchievements emulators!

I would love to help and so far all the problems I've had with retroarch and achievements seem to be fixed. I was posting my finding on that same topic on retro achievements website.

I would like to know how to do a pull request and use github? I have forked your resp.

I've been compiling my emulators from retroarch github for ages now.

@grenade44 you can send the saves to my email and I'll put them in my github repository for leiradel. You can see my email in that retroachievements forum topic. ;-)

@BuZz some important fixes related to RetroAchievements were made recently on RetroArch.
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/3912
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/3916
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/3929

Could you update the RetroArch binaries?

@grenade44 You pointed a lot of problems with GameBoy cheevos on that RetroAchievements.org forum topic. Can you check if they were solved after the recent fixes and report it there? It would be very helpful.

I had abit of spare time and tested the GB achievements I was having issues with and they seem to work a treat now. Have updated the retro achievements post. Will test more later.

@grenade44 what core are you using for GameBoy/GameBoyAdvance?

@meleu

I'm now using MGBA for GBA, I tried vba-next for a crash game and it unlocked achievements when I loaded the game but doesn't in MGBA.

I'm using the default GB emulator on retropie
