Retroachievements not working
-
@mitu edited post to include info, and here is the runcommand log https://pastebin.com/8gpc3QtS

@driagonv Looking over the supported games list, your ROM doesn't appear to be a candidate for RetroAchievements. On the page of GBA ROMs supported (http://retroachievements.org/Game/4969), there's only Super Mario Advance 2 - Super Mario World (E), you have the US (U) version. Maybe that's why it's not working.
-
@mitu well i will try with another game, how did you know the supported version, I cant see the region on retroachievements
-
@driagonv The region is in the name of the ROM, there's a convention when naming the file - https://64bitorless.wordpress.com/rom-suffix-explanations/
-
@mitu I already know this stuff, I mean for example on http://retroachievements.org/Game/800 it doesn't show what region the game is, so I might have a different region game and I wouldn't know about it, anyway thanks very much for the help, it turned out I can just enable it from the retroarch GUI in-game, so I did that and it works now!

Enable what ?
-
@mitu enable achievements, for some reason it got my username and password from retroarch.cfg but didnt enable achievements or verbose
-
@driagonv How large is the
/opt/retropie/configs/gba/retroarch.cfg
file ? Should have only 5 lines, but if you enabledsave_on_exit
(not recommended), then the settings there will overwrite the ones from/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg
. -
@mitu ooooooooooooooooooh, I have save on exit enabled on all my emulators because I like messing with the hotkeys and wouldn't like to change them every time I run my emulator, thanks very much sir for the info
-
@driagonv Don't use
save_on_exit
for playing with re-maps, use the RGUI/RA Menu to Save Core Remap - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/RetroArch-Configuration/#core-input-remapping.
