@meleu Time to compete ;)

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

[A Former User]

@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.

[meleu]

@livefastcyyoung oh! Now I've got it! ;)
Let's go to the 100k!! :)

just a heads up: yes, currently there's a way to activate leaderboards on RetroArch. Details on the wiki page:

Hello fellows,

I spent most of my free time in the past couple of months working on the RetroAchievements Documentation Project:
https://retroachievements.github.io/

It's a good resource for those who want to learn to create achievements (although it has some info for regular users too).

I hope you enjoy!

Seems like a lot of achievements are either unobtainable, or have glitched counters though.

Example:

@billyh glitched counters. It's known issue.

@meleu so on your own personal page, everything shows up correctly?

Has the "hascheevos" tool broken? I've not loaded up my retro box in a month or so (got an Xbox One X and been playing with that). I decided to load it up tonight and found that the cheevo system does still work, and my custom list is still there. But since I've not updated in a while, I decided to re-run the hascheevos tool to generate a new list. I started by using the "update" flag, then let it run it's thing. It's about half way through scanning my MegaDrive collection, and every single game is coming up "Has no cheevos".
