RetroAchievements in a Nutshell

[lilbud]

Did the ps4 style achievements ever get added to retroarch?

@lilbud If you mean a fancy icon/trophy rather than that yellow lettering, then no.

Some discussion about ways to implement it is going at RetroArch issue tracker, but it's at that "brainstorming" stage. Nothing being implemented yet.

Why does the word cheevo always make me hungry?

I tend not to have my pi connected all the time, otherwise I'd be all over this:) good write-up.

[meleu]

@fruitybit try it on your Android phone (if you have one). Just install RetroArch and get something like an ipega PG 9023...

[Fruitybit]

@meleu hehe 😂 just forked out for an 8bitdo, although I do have an old tablet I was thinking about putting retroarch onto.

@meleu My man! Just a heads up, the list of NES games gives me a 404. I was playing OG Legend of Zelda on the default NES emulator (FECuMM? Can't ever remember the letters.) But I like Nestopia as my default NES emulator. Opened my saved game to find out I wasn't getting cheevos with Nestopia, but was with FCUMM, or whatever. A list of supported Emulators would be pretty helpful IMO. Or did I do something wrong? Haha.

@meleu I'll step into this ;) I think it's good to use this thread as encourgement. Without you my friend I did not even know that such a system is available :)
And I think I'm not alone with that statement.

fixed. Thanks!

Damn! How could I forgot to write about that?!?! I've updated the OP with this info. Thanks again! ;-)

By the way, RetroAchievements doesn't work with Nestopia. :(

@meleu Time to compete ;)

@meleu
Now I'm ready for earning cheevos and satisfied with the setup

@meleu So I’m switching to hardcore mode as the achievements don’t make sense outside of hardcore mode.

I see there is a way to reset all achievements. Is there a way to reset all non-hardcore achievements?

P.S. Sent ya a friend request on there too. :)

There's no such filter there.

But keep in mind that when you earn a cheevo in hardcore mode you actually get two cheevos, the hardcore and the "softcore". That's why hardcore cheevos worth double points.

Then, if you reset a softcore cheevo that you got in the hardcore way, you're actually thowing out some of your points.

I hope I was clear. :-)

P.S.: Friend request accepted.

@meleu Guess I’ll just go back and get the hardcore version of all the softcore ones I’ve got then! 😎

Thanks!

@meleu Is there a way to activate leaderboard participation on RetroPie?

[meleu]

@livefastcyyoung not (yet). The implementation already started, but needs more coding. I'll post here when it's ready to use. ;-)

@meleu Excellent. Just broke an achievement score of 10,000 today. I’m coming for your 30,000+! ;)

[meleu]

@livefastcyyoung what game?

[A Former User]

@meleu Just the overall achievement score on RetroAchievements.
