    Any of you guys using Retro Achievements with Retroarch?

    A friend of mine pointed me in it's direction this evening, hadn't heard of it before.

    I'm not one for achievements in story driven games as they completely take me out of the experience, but have always thought it would be an interesting thing to add to older games, especially if there were leader boards.

    Just downloading RetroArch this evening to see if I can get it going.

    Next step is clearly mopping up on leaderboards... :pac:

    Its something they added to LaunchBox a while ago(linked in to retroarch I'm sure).
    Either I haven't enabled it or I'm just really crap(both are equally likely).

    If you need any tips on setting RetroArch up, just ask. I've spent a lot of time with it & am pretty comfortable with it. I'm not hugely up on controller mapping, which people seem to have issue with - every controller I've ever used with RA has been detected, automatically set up, and just works....so I've never had to really faff about with that side of things.

    As for achievements, never had an interest in them. The LaunchBox additionl of leaderboards is cool for arcade games, but aside from that, nah..game on.
