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:

@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

Ok,l got it.

Joust found the Topic to lr-psx_reARMed in the Retro-Achievments-Community.
Only CUE/BIN is supported, PBPs cannot be hashed.

So i will probably change back to BIN/CUE at least for the SingleDisc-Games ;)

@tobas Patience my friend, patience. You must remember that RetroPie is free and the developers work on this in their free time.

Oh, I forgot to mention...

To play ColecoVision with blueMSX core you'll also have to get the BIOS, as pointed out in the docs: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Colecovision/#lr-bluemsx-bios

I've updated the OP with this info.

Just in case someone here can understand Portuguese, I was interviewed for RetroAchievements-related podcast and talked about the history of how the cheevos feature was implemented on RetroArch, the backstages of RetroAchievements, my gamer life and other curiosities.

@cyperghost said in Achievements for Atari 2600 games:

HaHa ;) If this would be made than I think @mediamogul has no excuse for trying this in hardcore mode.

How else am I supposed to get the hardcore 'Rage Quit' achievement? It would be funny to have an achievement that registers an exit from the game within a small window of time. It could be called, 'Eh.... no. I don't think so.'

Actually, looks like it's not quite done yet but getting there: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/3946

leiradel created this issue in libretro/RetroArch closed Show images for awarded achievements [$80] #3946

@meleu like a genki-dama, I'm sending my energy and good vibes to you. Thanks

This goes hand in hand with @meleu s cheevos scraper!

So the possibility to get games marked that have achievements let us easier select them to collections ;)

Anything Futurama = WIN :)

Thank you very much for this awesome idea.
"Copy all ROMs that have cheevos to a directory."
Can we have a option to move the "cheevonated" (cheevolized? :D) roms to another folder?
And add Cheevos requirements on the cheevos screen?

@meleu nice job. it's good.

yeah guys! using custom collections for this is a nice approach too.

@meleu Ooh, that's nifty. I bet I could use this to trigger some kind of popup that's more akin to what you'd see on a PlayStation or X-Box.
