The official statement goes like this:

This core, not requiring a BIOS, shifts memory too much compared to all other supported cores and would consistently prove to bring issues.
(Scource: www.retroachievements.org)

If it is true and this core generates issues while the others don´t (personally i am using Duck- & Swanstation since a long time, so i dont have own experiences) it seems to be a logical descision.
But of course it is quite annoying for all die-hard-fans of the PSXreARMed-core, as far as they also want to get achievements!

@retropieuser555 this never worked for me, i could set my data in GUI, but the "#" in the script-file kept beeing there, so i had to remove them manually.
Maybe i am doing something wrong, but activating RA only in GUI never worked for me :/

The location of the file is explained in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroAchievements/ - it's in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg. The same file can be accessed over file shares at \\retropie\configs\all\retroarch.cfg if you wish to edit it from a PC.

@sirhenrythe5th from this thread I've only just discovered chd files. Yikes this is going to save me. Alot of disk space! Thanks!

@mitu can I add this manually?

Not likely, the version used in Batocera is further modified than the RetroPie's fork and it's not a matter of configuration.

Or recommend to developers of retropie/emulation station to add this function?

Sure, you can add a request.

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks! Removing those lines fixed it.

@ffaddic ok, I got, I need to convert to .chd by chdman under Linux;) Thx

@ffaddic thanks for info.
I am aware that you can force retroarch to get updated even without being supported by the retropie setup-script.
I prefer to wait until retroarch gets verified and 1.9.x (even .13 maybe?) will be part of the official setup-script to avoid running in other issues :)

Thanks for the advise concerning *.cso.
I just had a look, i only have *.iso on the pi while in fact having lots of *.cso on my real CFW-PSP1001 ;)

Upgrading RetroPie to use RetroArch 1.9.4 resolved this issue. Thanks!

@mitu would you recommend to install retroarch this way, or is it on ones own risk?

My recommendation is to wait so the RetroPie included script is updated with the new version. We apply some patches locally - to the upstream source - that are useful for RetroPie users and these patches need to be re-done and re-tested when a new version is released.

I appreciate the RetroAchievements feature! 😊

A few days ago the Digital Ocean had problems on the exact datacenter where the RetroAchievements VPS is hosted. Maybe that's the problem faced by @jandalf81 and @IanDaemon

By the way, the RANews have been just released:
https://news.retroachievements.org/

;)

true but some people don't know how to create a .sh as I've said I don't know how this should be in implemented but it would be nice to be able to see your achievements when you're hovering over the game in ES

@meleu said in How RetroPie project changed my life:

Yesterday I was interviewed in a podcast talking about my contributions for the RetroAchievements project and some "behind the scenes" info.
During the interview I also talked a bit about how the RetroPie project was a big and positive influence in my life.
If you guys are interested in hearing it (and probably have some fun with my foreigner accent), you can check it here:

The work you and the other devs do for RetroAchievements really cannot be praised enough. It's something that is invaluable to me, as the achievements make me want to play some of the old games more just so I can get them. Some of them are really clever too, like the Michael Jackson moonwalk achievement for Sonic 3.

[I forgot to advertise here the April's and May's issues, but here's the June's one]

The June's issue of RANews is out!

RANews cover

Here's what to expect from it...

Featured articles: How to contribute if you don't want to be an achievement creator (spoiler: there's A LOT of ways) We're starting the DevNews segment talking about the DevQuests I share my tips about how to research a game to get ideas for an interesting achievement set (it's targeted for non-devs too!). ikki5 shares his old memories and tell us why "Robin Hood: The Prince of Thieves" is a cool NES game. A guide for Bomberman Quest (GBC) by Nepiki StingX2 officially starts the Top Masteries, with the champions of each console. SporyTike wants you fix the mess Baby Bowser made in Yoshi's Island in a "Spot The Difference" challenge. And the already traditional articles: mini-articles where community members talk about their favorite sets and why you should play them. a list of the current open gaming events. a list of the brand new sets released over the last month. statistics about the top 300 players of the site and how they progressed. a list of the most wanted games with no achievement sets yet. a list of all the revisions and rescores that happened over the last month. a list of all game icons and badges updates

reason the png looks like that is because i made to fit into my updated theme.

Also i have found out i needed to update all emulators from within Retropie-setup. i seems the achievements normally only work with the latest versions of the emulators.

@danick8989 I've updated normally today and voilá, BEAUTIFUL.

And PlayStation retroachievement support as well on 1.7.7+
