I think the best part of Retro Achievements for me is the fact that they actually support a ton of rom-hacks and homebrew which I have been playing a lot of lately!

Another great video. I had no idea they had achievements for retro games. Have you tried to go for achievements that took you through areas or situations you have never faced before?

Yes actually, learned some new things and easter eggs in a few games that I was unaware of.

Is it possible to disable your activity status being updated on the website? I turned off Rich Presence but that didn’t seem to do anything.

That is a great question, I am unsure off the top of my head but I will look around and check the forums and let you know if I find out anything.

All of the NES ones are amazing and the SNES too but I think the Genesis one is my favorite. It has multiple characters and weapon selections.

Hmmm, off the top of my head I can't say for certain but I will try to list some things to check. Are you on Windows? I know that the Achievements arent compatible with all platforms/versions. Also, make sure you have the newest possible update of RetroArch (you can download the archived update and just drag and drop the folder onto your retroarch folder to update to the newest version, that way you keep all of your same settings). If you are on the newest version and are on Windows, make sure your account is working on the achievements website and you can log in fine and everything. At this point if it's not working I would guess that the game list you are using is just not working correctly for whatever reason. I am not sure if Retro Achievements searches the meta data or what (I doubt it has anything to do with file names, that would be a headache). So maybe try to download a few new romsets and see if those work or not, that will tell you if you need to get full new sets or not. I get most of mine here: archive.org/download/no-intro-2021 I would also double check that there isn't a firewall or antivirus program that could be interfering (I doubt it, but worth a check). I will continue to think about this and update you if I think of anything else. If none of this helped I would try to speak to the folks at the RetroARch reddit or the libretro discord: www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/ discord.com/servers/libretro-184109094070779904

@@romaantonyan467 Hey there. So PS2 can be very finicky with RetroArch and I like to use the standalone PCSX2 emulator for anything PS2 related. I have The Simpsons Hit and Run in my library so just for the heck of it I tried it through RetroArch and it wouldn't work for me either, it just said "achievements cannot be activated with this core." It's weird though because there is only a single PS2 core for RetroArch and I tried a few other games and the achievements seem to work just fine in RA. After doing a little research it appears that the achievements used to not work at all through the RetroArch core for PS2 and you were required to use a standalone emulator but they have slowly been adding support for games I believe. As soon as I ran the game through PCSX2 all of the achievements popped up just fine though, so I'm assuming it's just a RetroArch or core issue that they are slowly working on. I wish I had a better answer for you but I do highly recommend using any PS2 games through PCSX2 standalone emulator as the compatibility is way better and games run smoother (plus the achievements seem to work better). I will likely be doing a video on PCSX2 in the near future also. Good luck.
