SNES retroachievements don't work
-
Hi guys,
I recently set up my RPi 3, Model B and installed Retropie. After that I updated everything via the option in the menu.
Now I'm trying to get the retroachievements to work. I set up everything like it was mentioned in the guide and it works perfectly for NES and Genesis Games. Unfortunately I cannot get the retroachievemnts for the SNES games to work.
When I boot up a game and take a look at the quick menu of Retroarch, it always shows me, that there aren't any achievements for the game.
I also tried to use different emulators, but nothing works. :(Can you guys help me please?
-
@Keysersoze77 help us to help you. Say what emulators you are using, post a runcommand.log, post your configs, etc...

I'm using the Snes9x 2010. I also tried Snes9x 2005,
Snes9x 2002 and Snes9x.I'm not at home at the moment, but I try to provide you with the requested files asap!
-
Sorry, I'm new to the whole Raspberry Pi thing. How do I post the runcommand.log and which configs do you need?
-
@Keysersoze77 When launching a game press a button to see the runcommand menu, then choose "Launch with verbose logging". After RetroArch starts you can exit the emulator. The file will be in
/dev/shm/runcommand.log.The configs a need to see is the
/opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfgand/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg, but be sure to mask your RetroAchievements password before posting it. Post the content of these files on ghostbin.com or something similar. -
Thank you very much for your quick reply! I'm at work at the moment and pretty busy at the weekend. I hope I can provide these files for you not later than sunday.
-
Just another quick question: can I open these files via Samba-Shares on my Windows Laptop and copy the log to ghostbin.com?
-
@Keysersoze77 yes.
-
I just found some time to copy the retroarch.cfg files:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg: https://ghostbin.com/paste/oz29t
/opt/retropie/configs/snes/retroarch.cfg: https://ghostbin.com/paste/k7ygrBut I'm to stupid to find the runcommand log. I just get bios, configs, roms and splashscreens when I open the Pi with \RETROPIE in my windows explorer.
EDITH: Nevermind, I found it: https://ghostbin.com/paste/2ws69

@Keysersoze77 according to the logs everything is fine. Try updating RetroArch from source.
-
@Keysersoze77 you played super mario world (snes) in Jan-08-2017. Wasn't it on RetroPie? :-)

https://picload.org/image/rorrloir/img_20170114_133706.jpgI'm getting these errors if I try to update Retroarch from source. :(
And on the 8th of January I wasn't using Retropie. I tried the game on my PC.
-
@Keysersoze77 update RetroPie-Setup before trying to update RetroArch from source.

@meleu
Sorry for my stupidity.I've now updated Retroarch and still got no achievements for SNES games. :(
-
Do the achievements for the SNES games work on your Pi? And do you have any other idea how to get them to work?
-
@Keysersoze77 yes, it works. The strange thing is that according to your log you logged in retroachievements and got the cheevos list successfully (super mario world - snes). The only suggestion I can give is to try again and check your logs...
-
I can't believe it, I just found the solution. The problem was the ROM-type. I used the *.smc ROMs and it didn't show the achievements. When I tried the *.sfc ROMs everything worked and the achievements showed up in Retroarch.
Thank you very much for all your help!
-
Did you just change the extension or obtain another set. I believe RetroAchievements determine ROMs based on a hash check rather than a naming convention. It could be that the hashes were off in your original SNES set.
-
I obtained another ROM. I realized that retroachievements showed "bad rom pile" on their website when I loaded the old file.
