Johnny T Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 My retro achievements aren't working but I read that they only work if you use MAME through Retroarch? Is this true or is there a way to make them work with just the normal MAME emulator? Thanks ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retroarch supports them globally, but again its up to Individual cores on whether they actually support them or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure whether to go over to RA for MAME games then so I could try them but not sure how good the core would be? Cheers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the Retroarch core doesn't support them and MAME itself doesn't support them, how do they work? Is there another emulator out there I would need to use? Sorry if I'm being a bit dim. ?

A lot of consoles have them and FBA has some support, but MAME does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeViking245 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 The integrations of Retro Achievements and LB's MAME High Scores Leaderboards are 2 separate animals. RetroAchievements.org has only specific emulators supported. One emulator being Retroarch. But only specific cores are listed as compatible. MAME is not one of them. The High Score Leaderboard is possible by using the Third Party app hi2txt and ONLY works using MAME standalone (vs the MAME core in RA). Hope that helps with some of the confusion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant thanks for that. I really like Toki on the arcade and saw that there was some achievements that could be gained. So it seems I'd have to play it with FBNeo to be able to do that. I'll have a play around with it and see whether it's worth swapping over. Once again, a big thank you for taking the time to clear that up for me ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
