I'm using lr-armsnes, but in the Retroarch menu, it shows up as Pocketnes for some reason. Weird.

I tried using lr-Snes9x-next but that didn't fair any different when it came to compatibility or recognizing achievements.

All of my Snes emulator binaries are current so I'm not sure what else I can do on this.

Is retroachievements still in the very early beta stages for Super Nintendo?

Yes. And for NES too.

Megadrive is the only I have nothing to complain.

I started a thread there to discuss these issues:

Thank you again Meleu. :)

Is there anybody else here currently experiencing problems with the RetroAchievements?

It seems to be a RetroArch problem, beause I can't get it working even in my Android...

@meleu i will have to test. I had to setup my sd card after it got caught in an infinite boot loop so i havent verified since.

FYI, if you end up using Floobs awesome borders, have a read of this. I've tweaked the font size and position to fit the screen properly

Just gave it a quick go and it's triggering/reporting achievements with lr-fceumm on my 4.0.2 install.

@mediamogul everything seems to be fine now.
Are you used to use savestates? I see your achievements are all "softcore".

@meleu

I use save states to practice difficult areas before I make a full run on allotted lives/single life. I've been meaning to write a script that would enable/disable states alongside achievements that I can quickly access and then reset my achievements to hardcore, but I haven't got around to it yet.

Hi.

Do you have a compatibility page that stays updated with Retroachievements?

I've been really hoping for Super Mario World and Super Punch Out to be supported.

Thanks.

No. I tried to do it here based on my own experiences: http://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=3020
But I didn't find enough time to keep it up to date...

Super Mario World is surely supported! I earned some cheevos for this game. Keep in mind that you must use the same ROM as the achievements creator used.

@meleu

What emulator and version of it are you using?

I use the default RetroPie 4 SNES emulator for raspi2: lr-snes9x-next.
About the ROM version: I'm not at home now, but they usually talk about it in retroachievements.org, in the specific game achievements list page. ;-)

edit: in my raspi1 I use lr-armsnes.
