Setup for games that both support retroarchivements and hiscore


Mock

Recommended Posts

I don't see any way for launchbox to handle a single game for both playing games that supports hiscores and retroachievements as the following issue is

  • retroachievements = requires Retroarch cores that don't support hiscore
  • Hiscore = Requires Mame64 that don't support achievements

and the way launchbox is designed is that it looks at the default emulator and shows the information in the "game detail" box. so you cannot assign both mame64 and FBneo for a game and show both details.

have anyone found a workaround for this issue?

and for mame sets, how can i assign specific emulators for combined games. do i need to expand it first and assign, and then combine again?

The best way i have come up with, is to split a game set, find a version that are both compatible with archivements and hiscore, and select this as the main combined game. Then i need to choose the mame emulator as this can show both retroarchivements and hiscores in the game details, and now its only a matter of choosing the emulator for the task. I have also started creating a custom fields with retro archivements to filter on. and will try to build a parser in powershell to match games that support archivements and tag them.
