RetroAchievements Friends Thread

Why does this thread not exist already?

RetroArch does a really great job integrating with the API for RetroAchievements, which for those that don't know, adds achievements to your retro games much like modern systems do. There is also a Leaderboard, which is a pretty cool hook that allows you to compete against others in the community. It's pretty baller.

In addition to the officially supported systems, RetroArch also supports cheevos for Atari 2600 and FBA. I hear they're adding PS1 as well! The list of supported systems is pretty big, and I'm pretty sure there's others that RetroArch supports that don't have a RetroAchievements equivalent.

There's a RetroArch bounty for improving the pop-ups to make them look more like a modern console (right now it uses the in-built message display), so it's good to know that's gonna happen.

Well long story short, I like to see what others are up to. So if you aren't in there, get in there! If you are in there, add me to your friend list!

Trust me, it's worth the small bit of work it takes to get this rolling.

This does look pretty awesome. I'm just finishing up some work on Ataroid via RecalBoxER. After that's finished, I'll have my sit-down console emulation machine up and running and can get stuck into these...

And fo' sho' - will add a signature to the notifications plea.

I need to figure out why FBA doesn't work on my system.  I'm loving the RetroArch/RetroAchievments collaboration.  Can't wait to hear a DING and see an icon popup for my cheevo.  It'll come soon I can feel it!  Just a shout out, if you're interested in building a RetroPie system.. my good friend meleu has developed a tool that will scrape your roms and create a custom game list for your roms that are games with cheevos.  So you don't have to go and find out if your game has them or not, and you can just pick a game it knows will work with it.  I use it all the time.
