      @fun4stuff I mean /dev/shm/runcommand.log after enabling verbose logging on runcommand menu.
      The same way you did above.

        there is no longer any log file created.

        /dev/shm/ is empty after enabling verbose logging.

        nevermind. i tried an NES emulator rather than SNES and there now is a log:

          I must be going crazy. Anyway, here is the log after running SNES emulator / rom with verbose logging. It appeared now. Not sure what I did differently.

          http://pastebin.com/0giqQkvB

          now it says there are no achievements for this rom. it previously said there were achievements for this same rom.

          the prior nes rom says there are achievements, but nothing is displayed in retroarch.

            @fun4stuff for nes you need to use the emulator fceumm not nestopia. Nestopia does not have retroachievements.

                Are you sure? Nestopia is listed as being supported and although I'm not near my setup at the moment, I could swear they're active when I run it.

                  @mediamogul if so, not sure when. It always told me the core is not supported. I will update nestopia and test.

                    About the cores I'm trying to keep this up to date: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/wiki/RetroAchievements

                    It's a wiki, anyone can contribute. :-)

                        @fun4stuff yes, it is working. I asked for the logs because I'm used to get a lot of timeouts when there are many users playing. The retroachievements.org servers aren't that powerful. But it doesn't seem to be your problem though...

                        I'm on a trip and the internet here is really bad. I'll try to check what's hapenning when I have a chance.

                            Well i was able to get fceumm to work. It appears that the roms have to be unzipped in order to load. Still no achievements though. At least not with the roms tried.

                              @fun4stuff fceumm had some issues that were recently fixed with zipped archives though I don't know how they affected the retroachievements for that core. they should be solved now though

                                @fun4stuff I've just test with Castlevania/FCEUmm right now and everything is working fine.

                                  Is there any advantage between lr-FCEUmm and lr-Nestopia as far as RetroAchievements are concerned, or do they both trigger about as reliably?

                                    @mediamogul What I know about RetroAchievements and NES cores is exactly what I put in the RetroArch wiki:

                                    QuickNES

                                    The QuickNES seems to be the NES core with the best compatibility. No problems related to RetroAchievements were found in this core after the 05-Nov-2016 fixes.

                                    NOTE: There's a known issue with QuickNES on Android (not related to RetroAchievements); in the impossibility of using QuickNES, it is recommended to use FCEUmm).

                                    FCEUmm

                                    There are a few known achievements that aren't working with FCEUmm (e.g.: pickup items in Metroid, Goomba Massacre in Super Mario Bros 3).

                                    Nestopia

                                    Untested.

                                        Will anything show up in retroarch under RetroAchievements if I haven't unlocked any achievements previously? Wondering if it displays all possible achievements or only achievements that I have obtained.

                                            So what should I see under RetroAchievements section in the retroarch on screen display?
