Jason Carr Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hey all, just a quick teaser so you guys don't think I'm being lazy over here. Currently working on implementing Retro Achievements, which is a slightly bigger undertaking than a lot of things, so that's why the next beta is taking a while to come out. Here's a quick teaser though; look at the game details sidebar on the right: This is still early, but this is the general approach I'm hoping to go with, for LaunchBox at least. I have the retroachievements.org API implemented, now I'm just getting it integrated into the LaunchBox interface. There's a lot that can be done, but for starters, we're going to focus on letting you view your achievements and available achievements in the game details sidebar. Let me know your thoughts. 11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombeaver Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Very cool! I setup retro achievements a little while back. It'll be really nice to actually see all of them in LB (and eventually BB) for quick reference. Hype! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mexico never contributes anything to the world ever again they have given us the greatest thing ever with Lucha Libre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 Just now, ALIE said: Just out of curiosity is this like a deal made with them? Are they aware. Because this is gonna be seriously cool They're smart and they implemented an API early on to do exactly what we're looking to do. I did get the conversation started over there, but haven't received a response yet: http://retroachievements.org/viewtopic.php?t=5527 I have no doubt though that they won't have any issues with it. This is pretty much exactly the use case they're looking for I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 The only thing that could be an issue is that this could significantly increase their traffic once it officially comes out. So hopefully their servers can keep up. If not, we could certainly help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phox Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This is amazing. I'm so looking forward to getting my hands on this! Any chance of adding a users system for LaunchBox/BigBox so other people can log in to check their progress? Rather than just the main user? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmoney Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Looks like a great addition to LaunchBox! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckp Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Not be take anything away from this feature, but just wanted to ask. I don't really know anything about what this feature is, but if we don't want to use it, it won't have to be "on" will it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fablog Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I understand we have to use their emulator. Is it a Retroarch modified? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 @ckp considering you will need to have Retro Achievements setup (I'm assuming through RA) it will only do something if you sign LB into your Retro Achievements account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
